Kansas Football

KU-Missouri football gametime changed to 2:30 p.m. | KUsports.com
A little change to the Border War. Wish I was going. I don't care what the scoreboard says, I think this is one where we need to show up. It's looking like the potential final Border War for a long while and there's no reason to sit back and let Missouri have free reign of the place regardless of what we think might happen on the field.

Tough year for the seniors but they still deserve credit for being part of some better times at Kansas.

Penn State Nittany Lions sexual abuse case -- Support for Joe Paterno 'eroding' - ESPN
Tough deal seeing a legend go out this way but it's hard to feel sorry for ANYONE involved in this situation.

Shaq Goodwin tweets that he's headed to Memphis Tigers - ESPN
The Memphis Tigers are reloading with Pastner. Looks like Calipari might not have been the death of this program after all.

In 5 years do we remember 409 wins or this scandal?

Here's where I think things get dicey for him...

He’s at the tail end of LIFE…not just his career. We are an extremely forgiving society and he isn’t the primary perpetrator here, but it is also a VERY sensitive matter and has people very fired up. If he never has a chance to truly redeem himself and resolve this in some way, then it could very well be the scandal.

I mean this whole thing is ugly and only getting uglier. Hell when was the last time you saw a sports analyst cry on camera, or news professionals absolutely speechless about something related to sports? I mean scandal is scandal and then there is this which appears to take it to a whole new level and the amount of odd things that make this appear to be a MASSIVE cover up are getting to numerous to keep track of.

If it's one or the other,

I don’t think people will forget the scandal.

You know, the past few years

I’ve made myself pretty willfully ignorant in regards to scandals. There is a scandal every other week. I get tired of reading about it, I frankly really don’t want to know. So generally, I go out of my way to avoid the press on this kind of stuff. So i have no clue what’s going on with JoPa other than it sounds a bit like the Catholic Church scandal from a few years back. Beyond that, I don’t much care.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
