Kansas only half bad

Hey, Rasta, you do realize that Miller is the LB coach. right? LB is KU's weakest spot right now.

Induction touches Owens

"Endacott, who is deceased, led KU to mythical national basketball titles in 1922 and ’23."

Mythical as in imaginary? Please clarify. Those were as legitimate as BCS football national championships voted on by coaches and others.

KU to install new FieldTurf at Memorial Stadium

Wrought is archaic, so smart people use "rod" instead? Nice try Mr. Wikipedia.

When in a hole, stop digging.

That being said, you're right -- the chain link needs to be replaced.

KU to install new FieldTurf at Memorial Stadium

Who is Rod Iron? The guy who will remove the chain link fence and install the wrought iron fence?

3 steps to ruling Big 12 and contending for No. 1 seed

gongs4ku,
Race has nothing to do with it. Reed and Morningstar are the only scholarship athletes on the roster from Kansas. They qualify for a cheaper in-state tuition rate than the other players. If Travis Releford had lived a few miles west, his name would be in the mix too.

Five-year plan update

Code_2008,
More supportive of other sports? By other sports, I assume you mean sports other than football and men's basketball. Let's list them out, shall we?

Men
Baseball - New $2 million clubhouse. Held the KU-MU game at Kauffman Stadium to generate support in KC.
Cross Country -5 runners academic all Big 12
Golf -- new golf facility constructed which includes six all-weather hitting bays, each with its own launch monitor viewing and video swing analysis.
Track and Field -- upgraded locker rooms

Women
Basketball -- construction of a new practice facility
Cross Country -- 7 runners academic all Big 12
Golf -- new golf facility constructed which includes six all-weather hitting bays, each with its own launch monitor viewing and video swing analysis.
Rowing -- Construction of a new $6 million 16,000 square foot rowing boathouse on the Kaw.
Soccer -- Construction of new dedicated locker rooms. Newly resurfaced soccer field.
Softball -- Construction of new dedicated locker rooms. New lights at Arrocha Ballpark.
Swimming & Diving -- facility upgrades planned in the Master Plan
Tennis -- Six new outdoor courts and an additional indoor court built, as well as a new lounge and new lockers.
Track and Field -- Construction of new dedicated locker rooms
Volleyball -- renovations of the Horejsi Center within the $55 million major reconstruction effort.

In addition, the facilities master plan calls for upgrades in track, softball and soccer, including permanent grandstands, a merchandise location, press boxes and public restrooms.

Last, but not least, there's the $55 million for major renovations to Allen Fieldhouse, Horejsi Family Athletic Center, the Wagnon Student-Athlete Center and the Parrot Athletics Complex. This is used by ALL athletes and includes the new basketball practice facility that will be used by both men's and women's basketball.

Seems to me that an amazing amount of resources, financial and staff, is being dedicated to sports and athletes that are not generating revenue for the University.

Why not a feature article on Hartwig instead of promoting our rival from the west?

Insight targeting Kansas

Dugan,This is an incorrect statement:"The Insight Bowl traditionally takes the No. 6 team from the Big 12 and the No. 6 team from the Big 10..."You have it backwards. Bowls do not take teams according to their records or how the teams are ranked in their conference. Each bowl picks teams in a particular "Selection Order," like a draft. The Insight Bowl does not pick the #6 team from the Big 12. Rather, the Insight Bowl gets the sixth pick of Big 12 teams. From the Big 12 web site:___The Conference is partnered with nine bowls. However the arrangement with the Gator Bowl is for it to select a Big 12 team twice over a four-year period. In the two years in which the Gator does not select a Big 12 team, the Sun Bowl will.Following is the selection order:BCSCottonHolidayGator (when it selects a Big 12 team)AlamoSun (when the Gator does not take a Big 12 team)InsightIndependenceTexas___Thus, a particular bowl is not required to take a team because of its ranking or position in the Big 12 Conference standings. Hypothetically, if the Sun Bowl wanted to pick Kansas over Nebraska, it could -- even though Nebraska will finish higher in the North Standings. Dugan, this information is on the Big 12 web site. A football reporter should know better.
