Miscellaneous 2014 College Football Spring Wrap Ups
KU should be slightly better as a team. The offense has the potential to make improvements and the defense should be steady once again. Unfortunately, the schedule doesn’t do the Jayhawks any favors. I’ll predict a 4-8 season, with two wins in the non-conference slate and two Big 12 wins.
Lakers coaching search: Add North Carolina's Roy Williams to list - Los Angeles Times
It's not the first time Williams will have been approached by the Lakers. He was not interested in coaching them in 2004 after Phil Jackson's first tour ended.
