Well that was ugly. Unfortunately, the News and Notes is required to examine brutal losses like these.
So now to rip off the bandaid....
Kansas Football
Back to the futile | KUsports.com
“I’m as disappointed this week as I was excited last week,” KU senior center Gavin Howard said. “This is one of the most disappointing losses I’ve had in my career here, and I honestly don’t know how it happened.”
Is there really any better way to put it?

Although the Cyclones have suffered through a rough season and been snake-bitten by several bad losses and a few close calls, there’s hope for them to finish with a winning streak. Next week, they play at West Virginia
Opinion: Defensive issues? It's gotta be the shoes | KUsports.com
So did Kansas bring the wrong shoes? Did the Jayhawks leave at home shoes more well-suited to an icy field?
“I don’t think so,” Shepherd said. “I think it’s more of a Nike and adidas thing, just the way that they make their cleats.”
Actually a somewhat plausible explanation for the disaster we saw last night.

Sims makes history KU senior James Sims' 114 yards on 21 carries gave him 1,028 for the season, which represents a new career high and makes him the first Jayhawk in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. June Henley and Tony Sands, who rank first and second on KU's career-rushing list — ahead of Sims in third — both had multiple 1,000-yard seasons, but neither player did it in back-to-back years. Sims' triple-digit night marked the 15th of his career, which puts him two behind Sands for KU's all-time lead.

Kansas basketball unusually offensive so far | KUsports.com
“If you look at our shooting percentages, they’re better than ever so far,” KU coach Bill Self said. KU hit 60 percent of its attempts in Friday’s 88-58 home victory over Towson.
“We’ve shot 50 percent every game. We don’t do that. We just make sure other teams can’t score. Since we don’t do that anymore, I guess we’ve got to make sure we score,” he added sarcastically.

KU officials provided the ultimate honor for Jarmoc and her parents. A Canadian flag was hung in Horejsi, and the Canadian national anthem played before “The Star-Spangled Banner” preceding the first serve.
