Morning Update

The big news yesterday was Kansas' Men's Basketball team's trip to the White House. There are a bunch of articles on the trip, but before we get that here is a video courtesy of NBC Sports about the visit:


 

Let's end with the ESPN-BSC celebration-type-thing.

Later on today, we will continue the Florida International theme and the QB theme.

BCS slights

Why oh why does everyone seem to think Ole Miss is tough non-conference opponent?

From the article:
And, if you want to pile on, Missouri played a tough nonconference schedule, beating Rose Bowl entrant Illinois as well as Ole Miss. The Jayhawks only regular-season games against ranked opponents were Kansas State and … Missouri … and their best nonconference win came over doughty Toledo.

Ole Miss went 3-9 last year and 0-8 in conference.

If this is the case, KU should schedule Northwestern, Duke, Syracuse, and Washington. That’s gotta be the greatest, most difficult schedule of all time. Why? I guess because they are all BCS schools who are no better than “doughty” Toledo.

PS – Doughty means “Marked by stouthearted courage; brave.”

All hail the new, slimmer Mangino!

Agreed.

We both deserved to make BCS bowls. Both sides can make arguments for their case, but the real issue Misery fans should have is with the system. It should have been three Big 12 teams in the BCS, with no Illinois, but the stupid ‘2 teams per conference rule’ is what ruined Mizzou’s chances, not Kansas.

There was a stretch there...

In the early 2000s where the game I looked forward to the Iowa State game above all else.

Those games were fun…
