Kansas Football

Q: Who might be KU’s most improved RB? A: Brandon Bourbon | KUsports.com
Some talk about Bourbon

SI not too impressed with KU's chances

The back pack: Why KU football coach Turner Gill loves the running back | KUsports.com
A position where Kansas is very young and very talented. The running game has a bright future if the offensive line can progress.

Kansas Basketball

Paul Pierce to headline Legends of the Phog all-star game | KUsports.com
This is a pretty big deal for any Kansas basketball fan. The names being kicked around will bring back some fond memories and provide for a great event this fall. Something tells me Fetch will be in attendance. Better get that Boschee shirt ready...you need to send me that image.

Kansas/Realignment

Things that sound pretty meh...but could end up very entertaining

2011 KUSports.com Fan Appreciation Night | KUsports.com
I don't know why but I just envision this being a bad thing for Tom Keegan. Despite the fact that Brock Berglund is still touch and go every day, there were plenty of fans out there ready to crucify Keegan after his article early in the year. I think the best option here is to let Berglund show up to the event with Lady Gaga dressed in a Kansas football uni.

As if the five game suspension wasn't enough

Isn't it funny how these things have a way of working themselves out.

Couple of football team arrests

in case anyone thinks those are News and Noteworthy:

Ben Heeny thinks it’s fun to get drunk and race cars down highways (pleaded not-guilty).

DeShaun Sands thinks it’s fun to crank up the stereo (it is!). But doesn’t like going to court when they tell him to……repeatedly. Didn’t know Bradley McDougald was involved in this one too (but he showed up and paid his fine).

See KUSports.com for more details…..I’m too lazy to link it (probably not worthy anyway).
