Iowa State's Brackins to turn pro

They may have been pretty decent this year if Wesley Johnson hadn't bailed.

Greatest KU games: No. 7

That was an awesome game! I remember that I had been done with finals for a few days, but I put off flying back to Ohio for Christmas just to go to this game. It was definitely the loudest the Fieldhouse was of the games I attended.

Ex-player accuses Mangino of mistreatment

shelleysue - The coach that lost to KU in the Fort Worth Bowl is now at Baylor. This is a different coach.

Ex-player accuses Mangino of mistreatment

This is absolutely awful. I agree that it will be very difficult for KU football to continue recruiting the more these types of stories come out. However, I heard on Doug Gottlieb's show on Monday someone from 910 in KC say that, according to MM's contract, any termination must be preceded by an investigation that lasts a total of 21 days. My estimation is that the investigation is on day 14. We have another 7 days before the investigation can conclude.

As for potential replacements, I would not be adverse to Skip Holtz. Another name that is intriguing to me (only because I live 35 miles from Ohio University and this person is kind of at the forefront here, especially considering the type of season they're having) is Solich. He kind of got a raw deal at NU, and I could imagine he would love a chance to face them every year and kick some Cornhusker tail.

What if KU stuns Texas?

acsgreens - There is a line between beign a dominant power coach and being an abusive coach. I would think that looking some of the top programs of the day, would anyone say that Pete Carroll, Jim Tressel or even Mack Brown have anger issues? Looking at them, I'd say it is possible to be a successful coach without being a complete jerk about it. Besides, it sounds like this may go beyond the alleged verbal abuse. If there were injured players that were rushed back or punished to the point that it caused other injuries, then that is unacceptable. That's what the investigation will determine, how far things went, and we all need to let this take its course before we pass any final judgements, pro or con.

Robinson not just a ‘motor’

derringer - Richard Scott remains one of my favorite KU players of all time. He was 6'6", but played like he was 7'6". He never took a play off and is a very undervalued former player, in my opinion.

Getting a leg up

Aweome article. I never realized the intracacies of the special teams units. I guess it shouldn't surprise me, but I've honestly never given it much though before. Great insight!

Hoops troubles not new

Well, then Roy is just as guilty (suits to graduates and money to the Jackson family) because they happened on his watch. I guess my point is that all big time programs have run afoul of the rules at some point. Why needlessly rip on another big time program when we have done stuff as well.

Hoops troubles not new

Wow. I'm confused by this article. Between the sentence fragments and outdated references, I'm thinking he is saying that Kansas and UNC are so much "cleaner" than Kentucky. Now, I am a Jayhawk through and through (and I truly dislike UK), but this article reminds me of something you would read on a discussion board, not in a newspaper. The phrase "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" jumps to mind. Funny that Mayer doesn't mention anything about what happened on Larry Brown's watch (ensuring KU would be the first champion unable to have a chance to defend their title). Nor does he mention what happened on Roy's watch (the same Roy that is heading up UNC's program now). Also there's the fact that Calipari has already been cleared in the troubles at Memphis by the NCAA. KU may not have the frequency of "issues" as UK, but to take this issue this far considering what we have in our closet is pretty embarrassing.
