College Football's 2009 Nominees for the "Can't Stand It" Awards

Kansas' Fans Are the Biggest Disappointment

Kansas has experienced a log of negativity lately, and for good reason. Three straight very regrettable losses have the Jayhawk faithful thinking basketball season early, as is the norm in Lawrence...

Kansas Jayhawks: Who'll Fill the Gaps (M.R.R.O., Part Two)?

I am not a pessimistic person; I just like being prepared. KU should be prepared, too, because as I've discussed before, Dezmon Briscoe has every reason to make his exit after this season along with Kerry Meier...

Why Dezmon Briscoe Goes Pro (Mangino's Receiver-Replacement Operation, Part One)

After this season, wide receiver Kerry Meier is gone for good. I assume he will be taking his 1,958 career yards, 16 career touchdowns, and his KU-career-leading 186 catches (with five regular season games to go) with him...

What the Kansas Jayhawks Have Learned Thus Far

If the Jayhawks want to win even one more game this season, they're going to have to take some things away from the past two weeks. Fortunately, if there really are a thousand lessons in defeat, Mark Mangino and company have plenty to work with...

Failed Mid-Term Costs Jayhawks' Report Card

We've already reached the mid-way point of the college football semester, and it's time to start handing out grades again. At five and one, the Kansas Jayhawks' slate shouldn't look so bad, but I'm not sure they realize that this is not a 'gimme' class..

A Kansas Jayhawk Fan Forever

I sat down today in front of my trusty PS2, popped in NCAA Football 2006 (sadly, the most recent of my available options), and ran a quick-play of KU against Colorado on the junior varsity setting...

Will Toben Opurum Find a Home in Kansas' Record Books Too?

Kansas Jayhawks Trivia

'Get Well' Card From a Concerned Kansas Jayhawk Fan.

I was thinking about writing a "Get Well Soon" card for the Jayhawks Defensive Coordinator and was wondering if anyone else would be willing to sign it with me? I'm sure Clint Bowen is just ...

Final Score: KU 41 Iowa State 36

Well the cold weather really play off the fires few plays, but the Jayhawks were once trailing by 3 at the end of the 3rd Quarter; however, the Jayhawks came back and won the game. Lack of Defence was one of the Close factors...
