Bowen started off by talking about the great challenge and opportunity that awaits KU (2-2 overall, 0-1 Big 12) this Saturday at West Virginia (2-2, 0-1) before getting into the big-picture changes he hopes to make and many other topics.

Reagan continued: “We do have a very good relationship. We’ve been friends for a long time, both on a professional and personal level. We were both a part of doing something here previously and winning some games and, right now, it’s just a matter of working together and making sure we’re all headed in the same direction.”

KU football changing the way it calls plays | CJOnline.com
Kansas offensive coordinator John Reagan will be switching locations this week, moving to the coach’s box after previously calling KU’s plays from the sideline. “I think I can help us more by being upstairs,” Reagan said during an interview with reporters Tuesday. “I think I can help us more, maybe take some decisions out of the quarterback’s hands.”

Bowen, according to Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger, will be evaluated during the next eight games as a potential replacement for Weis. The only issue there is those eight games, none of which the Jayhawks are likely to win unless Bowen can work a miracle or two.

“I feel bad for the Weis family. But I love Kansas. I want what’s best for Kansas,” Self said. “I will be very supportive of Clint and the decision that’s been made, and I hope it turns out to be a great thing. It doesn’t take away from the fact these are hard decisions. People and families are involved, and it can be very difficult. But I love Kansas and I want what’s best for Kansas.”

Forde-Yard Dash: Who Survives October? - Yahoo Sports
Of the 128 FBS teams in America, we have whittled the number of undefeated to 17. And that number is going to really get chopped down in the next month, with 13 of the current unbeatens playing at least one other current unbeaten. By kickoff Nov. 1, we may be counting the unblemished records on one hand.

FCC eliminates sports blackout rule, NFL can still enforce - CBSSports.com
"The NFL has the right to enforce their current blackout rules and I suspect that they will continue to do so," O'Reilly said. Clearly the NFL objected to ending the policy, warning that games could possibly move away from broadcast and into "paid" television.
- How 'bout those Royals? -
Mr. Ed says: Seriously. Fire Ned Yost. NOW. The Royals are in the ALDS in spite of their manager, not because of him. Also, all the Billy Butler haters out there can go suck on a truckload of lemons.
Resilient Royals endure, eke out wild win in biggest game in 29 years - CBSSports.com
The resilient Royals also overcame their own manager, Ned Yost, who removed the aforementioned Big Game James after only 88 pitchers, perhaps forgetting why he earned that nickname, to summon a rookie starting pitcher in the middle of a jam that called for a veteran reliever. Yost was booed lustily as he came out to remove Ventura, who allowed a three-run home run to supposedly struggling slugger Brandon Moss (who had two home runs and five RBI), and again when he returned to the dugout.
MLB Recap - Oakland Athletics at Kansas City Royals - Sep 30, 2014 - CBSSports.com
Quite a start to October baseball - even if this one appeared to be over with plenty of time to spare in September. But in a back-and-forth epic that lasted 4 hours, 45 minutes, the A's lost their seventh straight winner-take-all playoff game since 2000.
TBS analyst/pitching great Pedro Martinez wasn't letting Yost off the hook. On both the TBS postgame show and on his Twitter account, Martinez let the criticism fly like one of his fourseamers.
MLB.com publishes "Royals Lose" game story
Someone screwed up here by putting the wrong story live, but I'm not looking to make fun of anyone here. (It's standard operating procedure for writers put together their gamers before the last out, and then just fill in the details, to get the story live as soon as possible.) Instead, consider this is a historical curio of one of the greatest winner-take-all games in recent memory, baseball's "Dewey Defeats Truman" moment.
