Kansas will beat Sooners

Maxhawk, I don't know if you were watching the same game as I was last year in Norman, but our 'Hawks went down there with an inexperienced O-line in a game no one gave them credit for even being in and managed to keep it close for most of the game before losing 31-45. While I realize a 14 point loss on the road isn't much to brag about, I remember watching the game and thinking that the only reason we couldn't manage to keep pace was that Oklahoma ran a million plays on offense (obvious exaggeration) and our D just got tired at the end of the game. Oh and it didn't hurt their cause to have a solid O-line, the eventual Heisman winner, and Gresham to compliment a solid receiving corps. Just my thoughts on the game last year in an attempt to prove that this game is more winnable than people think, though I'm not marching around Lawrence screaming it quite yet.

How Keegan voted

Maxhawk, haven't you figured it out by now? Keegan simply looks at the top 25 to see who won and lost, then looked at who they lost to and votes accordingly. Basically he is too lazy to watch the games or do any research on his own and instead relies on ESPN to tell him where teams should be ranked. The way he voted shouldn't surprise anyone.

Mangino: As of now, no players will serve suspensions

dewclw, you are directly contributing to this issue not going away and staying there. I know that you would like to get your 2 cents in like everyone posting on these articles (myself included), but it serves no purpose to continue to say that the issue needs to die if you and others keep bringing it up. As for MinnesotaJay, I totally agree, if HCMM felt there needed to be disciplinary action taken, he would have (and notice he left the door open if he hears anything else). As for the rest of this, I chalk it up to stupidity and foolishness by young men, something I was most likely guilty of on more than one occasion not too long ago.

Rookie looking sharp

Gardenjay, thanks for taking my comments way too far with regards to instituting airport-type security at games. What I meant by my comments was to institute a system of some sort to not allow fans (all types, not just students) to leave at halftime and get more loaded than they already were to begin with and decide to stay with a beer in their hand by their car or back at their house rather than going back in to the stadium to support the 'Hawks. This happens at a lot of stadiums across college football and is something KU should think about adopting. Again, I know that there will still be fans that leave early, just as they always have, but this sort of system could help to keep more of a fan presence in the stadium even in blowouts.

As for firebirdguy, I think we should just go back to nothing at the end of the national anthem because it is much classier to do nothing than to act like trashy Chiefs fans. I have never been impressed by the classless fans that populate Camaro-head and find their 'tradition' of yelling 'home of the Chiefs' to be extremely trashy. This is not meant to be me preaching about the sanctity of the national anthem or patriotism, but that we don't need to be adopting another team's trashy 'tradition' but that we should be creating our own

Rookie looking sharp

Gardenjay, i don't know about putting on a basketball practice, but how bout we make it tougher for fans to leave and re-enter the stadium. I sat with several people who took off during halftime and came back midway through the 3rd or at the start of the 4th quarter. There will always be fans that decided to leave midway through the game or when it is a huge blowout, but if we can stop this from being a come as you please atmosphere, we might be able to keep the large crowds the entire game. How cool would it have been if we had still had 45-50 k at the end of the game for the Rock Chalk Chant? It's erie in the Fieldhouse and we could bring that over to Memorial if our fans stuck around all game. Just a few rambling thoughts, but stuff I have noticed in the comments and when i was at the game (all the way to the end by the way).

KU's Reesing named to O'Brien watch list

That should be indicative that the talking heads think the Tech offense is pretty good regardless of who is running it. Although this is just a preliminary list, I'm sure they could have found someone who has actually started a game to round out the list. I know it hasn't done much in the past, but let's back Todd and vote for him as many times as we can. Show the nation what we think of our Lil Sparky.

Big 12 Media Days, Day 2

Fabio, I think that Dugan has done a great job for the LJW despite the constant criticism he faces simply for being a MU grad. Yes it is funny to point out when something isn't up to your journalistic qualities, but he has done a great job the past year and a half providing the fans unique insights into players along with great stories and team updates whenever they are possible. Pointing out that Chase Daniel simply couldn't stay away from the love-fest that went on between him and the Big 12 media last year is pretty funny in my opinion. I suggest you let the man do his job for surely you aren't perfect in whatever career you have chosen.

Hoops tourney heats up

jayhawkintexas, you realize that Tyler is 15 and Manning's son is 16. My guess is they still have a little bit left to grow and are actually pretty tall for their age group... just a thought is all.

The art of the walk-up song

townie, i hope that you were joking about the 'worst collective musical taste' of the baseball team. i for one find a lot of the songs funny and cool, especially boyer listening to 'electric avenue' and heere with 'danger zone'. why can't you let the team listen to what they want? it's designed to pump them up, not you, so if someone wants to listen to some bossa nova or anything else that you may consider terrible, who's to stop them as long as it gets the job done?

Does anyone know where I can listen to the Bob and Chris online to hear the half-time speech?
