Thrown for a loss

Not to be THAT guy, but the effect of the boys in stripes had an immense impact on this one. Almost every successful UT drive was augmented by a suspect call. The biggest example was UT's first score resulting from the bogus interference call when KU had 'em stopped on 3rd down.

I don't think I'm being too biased about this after talking to UT fans (who also admitted KU should have won four years ago). I've never heard a more decisive round of booing from such a large amount of people through the entire series of plays that followed. I think it spoke volumes about the fans' frustration with the South-biased officiating. With OU possibly bowing to Tech next week, the Big 12 needed UT to win out to secure that magical 2nd BCS berth.

By the way, memo to Mangino and Wariner: RUN, THE, FOOTBALL. It was much more effective than the final stats reveal. Fifty pass attempts is a joke, unless we are becoming a gimmick offense, aka Tech.

KU-Nebraska game will be available on pay-per-view

Nebraska fans are (confoundedly) rabid and stupid enough to pay for their football games... even on TV. I can't think of a team that has more pay-per-view football games than NU.

Coach's plea to end chant ignored

If the officials throw one flag for unsportsmanlike conduct on the crowd, the chant will stop. Plain and simple.

KU sends students video of Mangino asking for end to explicit chant

The "home of the chiefs" is hardly audible these days. That's what having a terrible franchise will do for your "fan" support.

As for the explicit chant, I'm wondering why Bob, Lew, and Mangino all of a sudden give a hoot. This thing has been around since my early days at KU, five or six years ago. Sure, it has gotten louder but I don't think college students care much about hurting people's feelings.

Darnell Jackson's letter to KU fans

Darnell,
Take your nickname we bestowed upon you early in your KU career, "The Hammer", and continue to make us proud in the league. Thanks for the memories stud.

Little plays big

Don't take these opponents lightly. Carleton is a Canadian powerhouse. They regularly beat other D1 teams in these exhibitions. Weaglehawk, Washburn or FHSU wouldn't stand a chance against these teams.
