Logic? Throw it out the window in Big 12

I think it's pretty safe to assume that the KU v. K-State will get the spot on Versus. The only way that the game will be on ABC is if K-State wins this weekend (which will likely earn them a spot in the top 25) in its game against Oklahoma (an OU loss will likely throw them out of the top 25). ABC likes to feature top 25 teams. Even if KU wins against Tech (which could pull the Jayhawks back into the rankings), an OU win will move the Sooners to a higher ranking. That being said, I find it hard to believe that these Wildcats are good enough to beat OU on the road.

Crash and burn

This is essentially the same team that went into Oklahoma last season and, against a healthy Sam Bradford, lost by only two touchdowns. How is it that when we play a weakened Oklahoma in Lawrence, they manage to score the same points as last year (35), and we end up losing by 22?

I hate to say it, but somehow this squad is appearing worse than last year. The way Reesing is hurting his stock with huge turnovers, he would have been better off trying to go pro last year. He really needs to step it up in these last 5 games if he wants a shot on any NFL team.

Bradford out for Saturday's game against KU

I agree with Kleave. Jones has played enough games for KU's defense to study him. I think the tape of the Texas game is a great study for this team to learn how to stop the OU offense from advancing. I think if KU's defense can keep Jones and his offensive line to 13 points, the KU offense can easily get enough points to earn a victory.

KUsports.com staff’s Week 7 college football picks

I actually think Tech has enough ammunition to pull the win over an overrated Nebraska team, 35-33. I also think that the score predictions for the OU/UT game are way too close. After a close 1st half against Colorado before finally taking over in the 2nd half, I think Texas is prepared to pound OU, 42-7. I am also going to predict that K-State pulls off a win at home against A&M, 27-21.

KU football will play Oklahoma at either 2:30 or 7 p.m. on ABC

I don't think whether KU wins or loses this Saturday's game will affect whether the game is at 2:30 or 7 (although a win will obviously be good). It will depend on the outcome of the OU/UT game this Saturday. If OU wins, then we get the prime-time 7 p.m. slot. If UT wins, then we have a 2:30 game.

How Keegan voted

I have to agree that if OSU fell from #5 to #24 because it lost to Houston, then that would mean that you don't consider Houston to be that strong a team. But then I see you have included them in the poll as #23... So why should a team fall 19 spots after losing to another top 25 team? Also agree that USC does not deserve to drop after beating a top 10 team, nor does NC deserve to move up because it won on a technicality against a weak Big East opponent. The rest I am OK with. I also appreciate your transparency by sharing your AP vote and leaving it open to criticism.

Self comments on Henry situation

Just based on the buzz surrounding this story, I am guessing the Henrys are going to Kentucky. I would rather they stay here, but if they want to go there, then apparently it's a choice they can make and us fans will have to live with it. Lance Stephenson has committed to Cincy, so he's out of the picture. Doesn't matter, the Jayhawks are still a national-caliber team.

And let's say the Henrys go to UK instead of KU, and the teams meet in the national championship. Sherron Collins will no doubt remember what was said about him by Mr. Henry in that article...and I think that will motivate Sherron on the court, which will give KU the advantage.

Sought-after Wall opts to play for Kentucky

Wow, apparently the news stories I've been reading about Calipari have huge paragraphs missing from them. From reading these comments, it appears that he's pretty much been proven guilty of everything from minor recruiting violations to orchestrating the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand (which started WWI, for those of you who don't get the reference).

I'll admit that I don't like Calipari and that there is something suspicious about the guy (the same way I felt about Kelvin Sampson), but until anybody comes forward with actual evidence, I am just going to resent him for being a good recruiter from a rival school. In the meantime, I do agree with those who say that Kentucky is not quite "perfect," and even with Wall the Wildcats have some major flaws that prevents them from being as strong this season as the upcoming KU squad.

KU lends 2008 basketball championship trophy to speaker of Kansas House

Um, can I have it to display in my office? I only need to borrow it for a week, just so I can impress a few clients...

KU fans: What you post on Facebook could lead to NCAA rules violations for Jayhawks

So if I, a Kansas fan and alumni, create a Facebook page encouraging Wall to go to Duke, could I get Coach K in trouble with the NCAA?

Just a thought.
