New offensive coordinator bringing Air Raid offense to KU | CJOnline.com
The Jayhawks will be one of six Big 12 teams running a version of the Air Raid offense next season. “If you’re doing the same thing that everybody else is doing, and you want an edge, you better do it better than they do it,” Likens said. “So then you have to coach the details in practice, that practice is premium. You can’t just roll the balls out there and expect to be good. You have to be freakishly detail-oriented, and then on top of that, I think we’re going to bring a little bit of a twist to it.”
Toughness, teamwork common themes on David Beaty's coaching staff | Tale of the Tait | KUsports.com
The two common themes that bounced around throughout the room were toughness and teamwork. Nearly every coach I spoke with mentioned something about playing tough and coaching tough kids. The most notable such soundbite came from Kubiak, the 27-year-old wide receivers coach who told me that he wanted KU's wide receivers to be the toughest unit on the team and added, “And if they're not, they won't play.”

“As soon as coach Beaty shared his vision with me I was like, ‘Let’s do this. I’m onboard.’ He wants to do it right. He wants to build a solid foundation doing things the right way, building a program over the long haul not just coming in here and doing quick-fix type stuff. That was very attractive for me.”
As Beaty's Kansas staff nears completion, those who have been put in place were made available to the media Wednesday afternoon at the Anderson Family Football Complex. The following are a sampling of quotes from Wednesday's availability.
Self saw a couple positives against OSU | KUsports.com
“There are two areas we played really well — our field-goal percentage defense was great and rebounding was great. That’s a pretty dominant effort on the glass,” KU coach Bill Self said. “For them to miss 35 shots and only get four back (four offensive rebounds to KU’s 10), that is good. That’s a positive."
The Day After: Cutting down the Cowboys | Tale of the Tait | KUsports.com
The story of the game was the Kansas defense.

Cowboys coach Travis Ford shared his frustration after the loss by simply saying that OSU had to find a way for other guys to score.

What Do We Know About Rob Konrad's 16 Hours At Sea?
Alone under the sky, impossibly far from anyone who could help him and miles from shore, the former football player swam nine—or was it 27?—miles to save his life.

This is exactly the kind of feel-good story sports reporters love to write and television producers clamor to package, and former Miami Dolphin Rob Konrad provided it this past week, telling an unbelievable story that started with him falling off a boat and ended in the triumph of the human spirit.
But lost in all the commotion is one point worth considering: How do we know any of this happened?
