KU football suffers 'embarrassing' 41-3 loss to Duke | CJOnline.com
Before the season, Kansas coach Charlie Weis pointed to this game as a significant one for his team. If there was a time for KU football to show this year was different, this was it.

For the first time in the Charlie Weis era, it seems like people have had enough. The KU fan base, as a whole, has not been entirely supportive of Weis and this team throughout his time, but there always had been enough people who backed the program to cancel out those who didn't. Saturday night, though, even the optimists kept quiet and some turned to the dark side. The Jayhawks were not out-talented by Duke, but they were out-played, out-coached and out-manned. (Mr. Ed says: The sunshine and rainbows seem to be getting covered up by a few clouds.)
