New faces impacting Jayhawks’ defense

07 was better talent. Young was not necessarily a better schemer. Want proof? Look at 2003-2006.

Reesing has had success against Colorado

Because of Warriner, Reesing started in 07...I think you mean.

I'm not arguing that Reesing wasn't the better choice. I just don't understand why people think that 2 quarters of football vs. CU in 2006 was worth a whole year.

Reesing has had success against Colorado

No question it's convenient hindsight. But if you believe that Todd's performance in 2006 was the key to his winning the job in 2007, then why did Meier continute to start in 2006 after the CU game?

Reesing has had success against Colorado

In hindsight it was a mistake to burn the shirt for the CU game, b/c we didn't go bowling in 2006...

It is impossible to say that we would not have been as successful in 07 without Reesing playing against CU.

If you all remember, it's not like Mangino put Reesing in against CU and then he ltook over for the rest of the year...the following week versus ISU Meier started and took more snaps; the next week vs. ksu, I don't even remember Reesing playing and the last game vs. fizzou, meier played most of the game, although, I remember him appearing injured and being pissed that we weren't playing Reesing after burning the shirt.

No question about the fact that Reesing, Meier, and Mangino are great and invaluable to the KU football program and it's success. But sugarcoating the mistake of 2006 doesn't change the fact that it turned out to be a mistake. Of course, things have turned out well so there's not much point to bemoaning the fact either...yet! We'll save that for next Sept/Oct when we can evaluate the next KU QB.

Kream Keegan winners chosen

I'm guessing they only had 5 shirts left in the "vault". Should have just sent them to Iraq or something...strange topic!

Youth movement

Still funny that our o-line's 25 returning starts means we're weaker and probably an underdog in north division...yet OU has a whopping 29 starts and is ranked #3 in the nation. The Fighting Manginos...disrespected yet again! I can't wait for Sept 5th, 12th, 19th....etc, etc!

Jayhawk Flashback: Colorado, 10/28/06

If you ask me (and no one did!), it's a bittersweet memory. If not for pulling the shirt that day to "save" the (6-6) season, he'd be a RS Junior this year and we could be looking at two more years of Reesing. Just saying...

Summer gridiron report: Time for KU to make history

Bohl did not hire Coach Self. He had already been crushed like a dove.

History says Huskers should be favorites to win Big 12 North

Agree with rasta. Additionally, I don't think there is much statistical significance between 4.2 and 3.4. even if they were valid measures.

Still a fun article...thinking about football is always good.

"Defense wins championships" was probably first uttered by some off. coordinator who was trying to save his job by blaming the 'D'. It's too simplistic to say that D wins...everyone knows it, but still it gets quoted. It obviously takes the triangle built with good talent by good coaching.
