PrintKansas Jayhawks at Texas Longhorns, Nov 21, 2009 7:00 PM CST
Finally, back to the business of playing football. A homecoming of sorts for many Jayhawks and likely the team they grew up cheering for is the team that will be on the other sideline tonight.
Kansas has made a living off recruiting talent that Texas didn't want and developing those kids into solid Big 12 players and some have gone on to NFL careers. Perhaps tonight in the spotlight of Austin Texas this current group of Jayhawks can give the Horns a little hell and try and shock the world.
The distractions are well documented, the week that was certainly presented a ton of challenges. How do these players respond? Put the distractions aside, play like men and do the job with dignity. If you don't win, that's fine. I just hate to see an embarrassment. Rock Chalk and I'm not sure If I'll be here tonight or not, but as always that doesn't mean you shouldn't be.
Lastly, if you haven't registered and jumped in on a Rock Chalk Talk Open Game Thread(OGT), what are you waiting for...Register here and let's talk some Jayhawk football.

Great game in Ole Miss v LSU...
poorly managed final seconds by Les Miles but a great game in general
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
let a lot of time tick off the clock though after a failed third down...

Really interested to see what kind of fight we put up
and in the first time in weeks, I’m not really worried because I have no expectation of us winning. Nice feeling for once.

likewise...
I’m just not sure what to expect out of our guys tonight.

+1...
I think these players need to make this not about Coach, go out…fight…do their job like men with dignity.
again though, whenever people bring up ‘want to’ I’m always concerned because we all know that Roy Willams took all that in his Pinky finger to UNC…there isn’t any left.

The eyes of Texas (and Jayhawk nation, and all of the other rubberneckers)
are upon you, Mark Mangino. Godspeed, fat man, Godspeed.
I actually am a little bit...
just curious to see how the team comes out and plays.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Something that struck me today as I'm watching all these senior days...
Mark Mangino was no where to be seen when the Seniors were introduced last week with the Corn in town. Every other team I’ve seen the head coach is there to shake their hands. Struck me as funny last week, now even more so.

Anyone been reading up on recruiting stuff?
It’s really scary to go to Jayhawkslant and see all the questions there with recruits.

it's inevitable....
can’t blame a kid for reevaluating. I still believe though that if a good hire is made…we’ll keep a decent number of those guys. Fact of the matter is I’ve never heard a recruit say he chose Kansas because of Mark Mangino.

Cannot believe Bill Snyder is 70...
I can’t imagine being a D1 coach at age 70…seems like it’d be tough on the old man.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
well...
is he really coaching anymore or is it just an old man that get’s really good seats to the game.

there was a great AFLAC question on during the Iowa/Penn State game this year.

two plays turn out different and they beat both Kansas and K-State..makes them 5-3 I believe…and they’d have the tiebreaker over everyone in the North but you guys.

Great moments… are born from great opportunity. And that’s what you have here, tonight, boys. That’s what you’ve earned here tonight. One game. If we played ‘em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we run with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest Big 12 team in the world. You were born to be football players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It’s over. I’m sick and tired of hearing about what a great football team the Longhorns have. Screw ’em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!

True, but we run it at least 10 times a game (unfortunately)

Iono nuffin bout no Pick
but Reesing shouldn’t be running the option. He literally ran Jake Sharp out of bounds on that trash. Maybe a fake would help, but I’m thinking the option just needs to stay in the pocket of the coaches. That literally hurt to watch.

Reesing does that or pitches it real early and our RB has no real estate. Option doesn’t work too well yet we run it waaaay too much.

also works for a school that’s pretty strapped for cash and has a buyout of like $3.5 million. Then you have to hire the new coach and all the new assistants…ugh. I wouldn’t be surprised AT ALL if Hawkins comes back next year, especially if we beat Nebraska.

His recruiting hasn’t been a problem for me. He brings in solid classes and guys with obvious talent. His hard-on for retreads with proven track records of suck (DEMETRIUS SUMLER) continually holds him back. He cannot get out of his own way. At all.

Yeah seems like he has had enough time to do something
Unlike Mangino he inherited teams that had some talent and were competing for North titles, didn’t have to build from the ground up. Seems like CU jumped the gun giving him that contract since he was such a “hot” prospect. Bad call on the AD. Without the buyout issue I’d imagine he’d be toast by now.
Considering how down the North is overall this season can’t help his cause either, with the results.
by Andrew Clark on Nov 21, 2009 8:17 PM CST up reply actions
...??????
I can tell you that when he arrived at CU, the program was almost completely devoid of D-1 talent. Barnett’s recruiting at the end of his tenure was awful and Hawkins had the pleasure of dealing with that. Hawk has done a great job of pumping talent back into the program but I seriously doubt he’s around to reap any benefit they may provide.

by A.J. Haefele on Nov 21, 2009 8:22 PM CST up reply actions
Talent or not
CU competed for the North 2004-05 area of time with Klatt, Klopenstein (man I hated those guys and I don’t even know why) etc. No way was it comparable to what Mangino stepped into. Throw in that apart from MU and KU at times, the rest of the North has been aweful since that time frame, no more deadly KSU and NU, etc.
By now he has had enough time to make a move up in the win column.
by Andrew Clark on Nov 21, 2009 8:25 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah
CU was competing for North titles but they weren’t really that good. If I remember correctly, we won a North title simply because ISU couldn’t take care of their business. I won’t argue that Mangino walked into a tougher situation because there’s no argument to be made, but the idea that Hawkins walked into a “good” situation isn’t true at all. Shit was pretty broken up after the Barnett fiasco and all the nonsense that went down.

ISU wasn’t that good that year and KU was one of the hottest teams in the league once we finally got a QB and a bit of an O to go with the league’s best D. Once we got the offense going a bit we beat MU, slaughtered NU, beat ISU to close the year.

mentioned above he was bailing because people were coming over to watch the game. No idea where anyone else is. I’m only here out of my hatred for UT and because RCT is one of my favorite places to hang out on Saturday nights.

At least we held them to a field goal.

Question.
I’ve been doing some reading around the internets and I have to ask…Why the fuck is Notre Dame still considered an “A Plus” job? It seems it would be the exact opposite of that these days.

Gotta agree with you
Not only has the team not been good but you have higher academic standards (harder to recruit to), a ridiculous fan base/expectations. I suppose you do have a guaranteed high salary and tradition and etc but I wouldn’t touch it.
Better off coaching at somewhere like KU (thats for all you prospective coaches reading my comments. I know you’re out there. We need you. Please.)

CU >>>> KU
So any prospective coaches reading these comments, keep that in mind. KU is a basketball school.

Agreed - archery is so intuitive to the Wii method
as is swordplay – love the slice and dice game when you get into real challenging stages
Oh yeah.
The swords really demonstrated the ability of the Wii Motion Plus, which was why it was included with the game. I’m very hopeful for the future of Wii games taking advantage of that accessory.

skydiving and the somewhat playful flight sim game is fun….not super technical flight sim stuff, but a cool add-in to the game package

My biggest problem with MW2 was the extreme focus on the multiplayer. I understand gaming these days requires a robust multiplayer option, especially in a genre in which multiplayer has made sooo many innovative strides, but taking a dump on the campaign (5 hours, seriously??) and adding in Spec Ops mode that’s fun but not very long is kind of frustrating. Games continue to be geared towards playing with 36 random people, at least 10 of whom are guys you’re going to wish real life violence upon.

That would be hot, but a full-length campaign would nice, too. I don’t need a massive campaign or anything, but it’s becoming an increasingly unimportant aspects of games that give you guns.

Have bought every version since they started being made. Unfortunately, they’re 60 bucks a year. Sports games, because of their “Roster update, minor tweak” nature, should only be $40 tops upon release.

This is the exact reason I bought this NCAA Basketball game. I love the challenge of starting my career at Idaho and working towards a job offer from Kansas/Colorado (depending on the sport, of course) and then dominating recruiting and winning multiple national championships. Very satisfying.
