Not-so-gentle reign

there hasn't been this much talk about KU Football for two years!

I would just like to get an Idea of who supports Mangino...

I don't know why he can't coach this team effectively, but for some reason he can't.

Maybe it's just been tough luck this year, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, but with this outpouring of allegations against him I doubt it would be any use. If we've lost this year and dragged our coach through the dirt and made him look evil, then we have no reason to expect that next year will be any better. We're gonna lose recruits and of course be without this great group of seniors.

I am a Mangino supporter. I believe in his ability to coach and to win. I don't agree with the way that it is being reported that he treats players and assistant coaches.

If none of these things had been made public I would say that we keep Mangino and keep Bowen and keep Warinner and give them one more year to prove their worth.

But now that all of these allegations are coming out and former players are speaking out against the coach, I think that we have to get rid of him. With all of this dirty laundry being aired I don't believe that he can continue to be successful here, especially in recruiting. I don't know if his behavior is as bad as people are making it sound or not. I believe that he has crossed some lines and said some things that shouldn't have been said. And if it had been handled privately within the athetics department and he had been punished privately and had new policies in place to prevent further problems then I would say keep him. But at this point the bridge is burning and it's about to give. I don't think there's any reconciliation.

Not-so-gentle reign

I haven't heard or ready anything from Todd Reesing that sounds remotely like supporting Coach Mangino. Reesing has said things like, "Lew Perkins just doing what he needs to do." I have had the feeling from some of Todd's comments that he doesn't want to say anything bad about Coach Mangino so he's following the rule of Thumper's daddy, "if you can't say nothin' good, then don't say nothin at all." It seems to me that Reesing is among the ranks of players who don't like Coach very much right now.

Center Aldrich steady

I have to agree with Jaybate about Cole Aldrich. He was playing on a different level much of the game last night. The intensity that Tyler Hansbrough had at UNC, I think that Cole can match that this year. I think that he wants to, and is trying to. And if he does, he's going to make a lot of good basketball players look like little boys out there. Hansbrough played with intensity because that was all that he had. Cole can couple that intensity with an imposing body (thanks to genetics and Andrea Hudy), good skill moves on the post (thanks to Danny Manning), and a supporting cast every bit as good as Ty Lawson, Danny Green, Wayne Ellington, et al.

This should be a special year for Cole Aldrich.

Harris voices his support for coach

There have been parents meeting with Lew Perkins because of Coach Mangino's behavior? I haven't heard about this, is it reported somewhere?

No charges will be filed against KU football or basketball players involved in brawl

I wonder if the LJW and the municipal court were saving this release for the basketball season opener

Who is nation's "hottest" college basketball coach?

I was wondering when mention of Jay Wright would come up. He was larger than life a few years ago.
