Hope Springs Eternal

The hubbub in Lawrence is not Kansas Football, and justifiably so, because Tyshawn "Turnover-less" Taylor and the greatest coach in the country, Bill Self, have piloted the team to the school's 14th Final Four and 8th straight Big 12 Championship. Kansas bettered the state of North Carolina (both the Wolfpack of NC State and the Tarheels of North Carolina) and former head coach Roy Williams (with a triangle and two defense that I'm still not sure if he has figured out yet) on the way. I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge their accomplishments, so football is going to have to simmer on the back burner while basketball turns up the heat. But, in case you were wondering, Spring Ball starts tomorrow and the Spring Game is but a month away.

A Running Total of: "The Late Additions"

During his press conference earlier this year, head coach Charlie Weis promised the hungry Kansas fan base that it would be fed: by May, we could expect a string of fifth year transfers and under-recruited high-school players to join the team. Let's just say that Weis and company are a little ahead of schedule. Granted it's only March, so there is still a lot of sand in the hour-glass, but I felt like if I didn't at least create a post to keep tabs on the additions, then I would leave you too far out of the loop. And who isn't looking for some easy reading until the spring game on April 28th? (I apologize for the photo. I thought I would never stoop down to this level, but hey, Josh Williams is ours now, you corn-fed traitors.)

2011: Season in Review (The Defense)

So, the 2011 Kansas Jayhawks Defense is today’s topic of discussion. It’s not going to be fun, so you may want to avert your eyes, but in my defense, I presaged you. So, here we are.  It’s March and spring football practice just kicked off yesterday. I hope Dave Campo and company are tackling (pun intended) the problems that ailed the team right now, but we will find that out on the other side. For now, it’s time to review your very own, league leading point allowing defense, the 2011 Kansas Jayhawks.
