With the Kansas University football team knocking off West Virginia last week to snap its 27-game Big 12 losing streak, a lot of the talk early this week was much different than it has been in past weeks.
Here’s a look back at the past couple of days worth of Twitter activity, which includes some KU hoops and volleyball chatter, as well.

*Weis said Gavin Howard was looking for help to dump the Gatorade bucket on him and couldn’t find many volunteers… ?#KUfball*
*Weis said winning vs. WVU was nice hurdle to clear & he wants to go get a road win… Adds: It’s gonna be tough sledding up there… ?#KUfball*
*Weis said it’s an easy week for him b/c he can criticize players w/o worrying about them getting too low… ?#KUfball*
*Weis: it was Ben Goodman who blocked the WVU field goal… Official stats gave it to Agostinho & I heard @ least 1 other guy credited ?#KUfball*
*Weis said Sims wasn’t just running hard on Saturday, “He was trying to punish people.” Great way to put it… ?#KUfball*
*Weis said the high for Saturday in Ames is supposed to be 23º… Added: Factor in the wind chill and it’ll probably be 0º at kickoff ?#KUfball*
*Weis said ?#KUfball will continue to add to passing game, but said: “If the line’s continuing to control the line, there’s no reason to do it*
*Weis said C Gavin Howard likes to talk a lot of trash on the field & had a lot of fun last week b/c can’t talk trash when losing ?#KUfball*
*Weis: Damon Martin has really come along lately and looked good; Ngalu Fusimalohi has been ?#KUfball’s most consistent lineman all season…*

*Weis on Heaps: He’s been great w/ Montell, but Jake is one of the most unselfish people I’ve ever been around… He’s a competitor… ?#KUfball*
*Weis on Cozart: His athleticism helps hide some of our deficiencies… Montell’s got a bright future & this was a good first step ?#KUfball*
*Weis: We still have 2 more opportunities to get rid of a couple other things on that list of things that could change the program ?#KUfball*
*Weis: Having won that game (WVU) helps us going forward and now we gotta focus on snapping road losing streak… ?#KUfball*
*Weis: As a coach, you learn that you can’t have highs & lows… you gotta stay even keel. Just like players, though, you get a lift. ?#KUfball*
*Weis: Psychologically, I think WVU victory is a very, very big lift for our players. ?#KUfball*
