Part III (The Third Tier)

Number 1 is off the board now, so I will give you three more candidates to chew on. It would have been nice to get "The Pirate" because he would stimulate a lot of interest in the program right off the bat, but I guess Leach saw Washington State as an easier turn-around (they went 5-7 this past year and the Pac 12 is a much better draw than the Big 12). I thought of all people, Leach wouldn't shy from a challenge, but he is gone, so let's not waste our breath.

Here is Part II of the "Coaching Carousel". As we will learn, A.D. Sheahon Zenger has a lot of football connections and I really think this program is in good hands. I'm sure Zenger will be considering these well-qualified candidates...

A Coaching Carousel: Part I (The Favorites)

Come one come all; join in on the Coaching Merry-go-Round. Mark Mangino: gone. Turner Gill: gone. Who is next? It feels like we just experienced this drama! Come to think of it, it was just a short 2 years ago.

Mizzou Runs Away with Game and from Rivalry. BREAKING: TURNER GILL RELIEVED OF JOB

It was the season’s finale on Saturday and the Kansas Jayhawks put up a tough fight with arch-rival Missouri, falling 24-10. The game was competitive, like Turner Gill promised, but the ‘November to Remember’, that included a 61-7 thumping, was not enough to save face or his job. Sheahon Zenger made the call to fire Gill.

Happy late-Thanksgiving! Maybe the turkey and pumpkin pie is finally starting to settle, or maybe you are going back for seconds. Whatever the case may be, there is a lot of good food sitting around. Oh, and it is Missouri week. With Saturday’s game fast approaching, and Missouri leaving for the SEC, the Border War is in need of a last hurrah. Let’s hope I can do it justice in the short time I’ve been given. Enjoy.

Texas Toast; Lone-Star State Unkind to the Hawks

No, the 43-0 stomping at the hands of the Texas Longhorns actually was not rock bottom for the Kansas Jayhawks. On Saturday, Kansas pitched its worst game of the season, maybe one if its worst in program history, falling 61-7 to a mediocre Texas A&M Aggies team. Kansas did not compete in any phase of the game, at least as far as I know (I quit on the Jayhawks at halftime: 44-0 A&M).

No. 25 Baylor 31, Kansas 30 F/OT

It was Senior Day in Lawrence on Saturday and the Kansas Jayhawks nearly gave its fans a Superb Senior Sendoff. The Hawks, who fell to 2-8 (0-7), deserved a win after playing their hearts out, but a man with the moniker, RG3, would say otherwise.

Louisiana State 9, Alabama 6. I’m sorry, but was there any other game this week besides the “Game of the Century”? I realize these teams are by far the most talented and best coached, but how much time and money was invested into this one freaking football game? I now firmly believe that football is a religion in SEC land. Gag me.
