Not 'Suh' Tough; Kansas Offensive Line Looking Okay

It's getting harder and harder to pick the positives out of Kansas football. Especially after a game like yesterday's when the Jayhawks had every opportunity to be victorious, yet they were squandered...

Jayhawk Coordinators are in Deep

I've had my bits about Kansas defensive coordinator Clint Bowen all along. However, my focus recently has shifted to Ed Warriner and the offensive side of the ball. Now I wonder if either is particularly secure in his position at Kansas...

An Early Look at the 2010 Kansas Jayhawks Defense

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)

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..
