Beaty preaching optimism to team, fans | KUsports.com
“We have one rule,” Beaty said recently. “When you walk through that building you better have a smile on your face. That’s it. We’re excited. We’re fortunate. We’re blessed to be here and we are so lucky. So we get up and run every day because there are so many people that want to be right where we are. And that’s how we control our psyche. We control it by knowing what the future holds because the work’s being put in and they know (good things are) coming. If (they weren’t), they’d be quitting."
Way-too-early 2016 schedule analysis: Texas Longhorns vs. Kansas Jayhawks
The 2015 Kansas squad might have been the worst in the history of the Big 12 and David Beaty has a long way to go in order to get the talent level to back up to a point where the Jayhawks can even begin to realistically think about contending to become bowl eligible. Outside of quarterback Ryan Willis, running back Ke’aun Kinner and defensive end Dorance Armstrong, I’m not sure there’s anyone on the Kansas roster who would be in the two-deep at one of the better schools in the Big 12.

Here's why the Save America's Pastime Act is a river of molten sewage - SBNation.com
