10 Jayhawks To Buy or Walk on By This Black Friday

Brady Morningstar's Moments with Kansas Jayhawks Will Be Minimal

Kansas didn't play particularly great against Memphis. That contest was one of the most intense, physical games a Bill Self team has been a part of in a while. However, as with all close games, there was still something good to be seen from the Jayhawks.

Why Mark Mangino Can No Longer Be Successful at Kansas

Let me first say that Mark Mangino has my complete and unquestioned benefit of the doubt. If anything has happened that is inappropriate enough to get him fired, it should have happened sooner, not later...

The 2009 All-Big 12 Defense

It's been one of the most hectic seasons I can ever remember in the Big 12, and as the season nears it's end, it's time to give credit to those responsible. Especially on defense...

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...

Xavier Henry: Nothing Subtle About Him

I know we're just one game into the season, and I'm not normally one to praise so highly so quickly, but Xavier Henry is a special basketball player...

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...

Aldrich, Jayhawks to Tip Season Off Friday Night

The football season is not over yet, and I don't plan to give up on Mark Mangino and his group of gridiron Jayhawks anytime soon. My next three Saturdays are booked...

An Early Look at the Kansas Jayhawks in 2010 (Offense)

With the defensive chart already in the books (for whatever it was worth), it's time to look at those big vacancies about to pop up on the offensive side of the ball.....

Big 12 North Predictions and Power Rankings (Week Eleven)

It's been the story of the entire season, hasn't it? One week, you feel like you've finally begun to understand the mindless havoc that is the Big 12 North. The next, you realize that there's a reason you've deemed it 'mindless havoc' in the first place

An Early Look at the 2010 Kansas Jayhawks Defense

I haven't given up on Kansas yet, but even I have to admit that after four consecutive losses, priorities can change. I'm not saying coach Mark Mangino has to give up...

Three Keys for Kansas In The Sunflower Showdown

The Sunflower Showdown this Saturday should be the best contest we've seen between these two clubs in the past three or four years...

Todd Reesing Getting Picked On?: Analyzing the Mark Mangino Controversy

It's funny how one player sitting on the bench for a minute longer than normal can cause an entire football nation to start questioning his relationship with the coach and status on the team...

Big 12 North Predictions and Power Rankings (Week 10)

It's ironic how well I'd sorted out last week in comparison to how that has translated to power rankings this week. After picking five for five last week, the first week I've even picked above ...

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...

Big 12 North Predictions and Power Rankings (Week Nine)

As much as I hate to see the North crumble, I love seeing the title up for grabs. This year I have gotten exactly that, and it doesn't appear as if things are about to get any less hectic during the upcoming weekend...

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...

Big 12 North Predictions and Power Rankings (Week Eight)

This past weekend may have been one of the most tumultuous weekends in the Big 12 North's entire history, and I loved every second of it! Well, every second but the last ones in the Kansas-Colorado contest, of course...

What If? The 2006 Jayhawks That Never Were

What if Rodney Fowler had somehow found his way back to the grid-iron? The former Kansas free safety was quickly becoming a great one until a mysterious injury forced him out of football prior to his senior year...

Midseason's Best in the Big 12 North

Although competition itself for the Big 12 North crown seems to be entirely up for grabs, it hasn't discouraged certain individuals in the geographical upper-half of the conference from distinguishing themselves as some of the NCAA's best...

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..
