Some football talk in the bye week.

Big 12 Talk

Big 12 needs to get tough on its members | KUsports.com
It will be interesting to see if Oklahoma's demands are met. The Pac12 might have taken a few chips off the table with their announcement last night.

In time of conference realignment madness, KU silence golden | KUsports.com
A different take on the silence surrounding Kansas. I'd tend to agree considering our position in all of this. Not sure what we can gain from running around like T. Boone talking to anyone that will listen.

'Beyond the Phog' excerpt: Keith Langford on Kris Humphries, Roy Williams | KUsports.com
Pretty interesting excerpt talking about Roy in a VERY positive light. For all the grief we give him now I do think it's important to remember that time and how much he did for Kansas. If you think about it, we've had three incredible coaches over the last 30 or so years. HOF'ers.
