Kansas head football coach Charlie Weis, offensive coordinator/offensive line coach John Reagan and defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Clint Bowen met with the media Tuesday during Weis' weekly press conference to preview the upcoming matchup with Southeast Missouri State.

Defensive back Short withdraws from KU | KUsports.com
Despite the timing of Short's departure, Weis said the KU defense had planned to be without him. “He's been practicing as a back-up,” Weis said. “This has been going on for a while. So it isn't like we haven't been prepared for this. We've been prepared for weeks, so this is not something that just hit yesterday.”
Kansas University coach Charlie Weis hadn’t talked football in person with the media for a couple of weeks. So Tuesday’s press conference, leading up to the Jayhawks’ season-opener Saturday against Southeast Missouri State, had plenty of nuggets.

B1G schedules enter new, exciting phase - Big Ten Blog - ESPN
Last spring, the Big Ten began having quarterly conference calls with each school's football schedule coordinator. During these calls, each school reports its scheduling agreements or potential agreements. The idea is to keep everyone in the loop. If there's a series one conference member can't schedule with a marquee opponent, another might make it work.
The recruiting pitch was simple: If you come to Oregon State you can play for you dads, contribute immediately and help turn around a Pac-12 program.

The buttfumble is the greatest play in history involving someone’s ass. It will never be topped. Ever. But I’m willing to consider Jordan Westerkamp’s buttcatch as the silver medalist.
