  @globaljaybird Condolences to those close to Freeman. He clearly strongly influenced a lot of persons. From my POV, he was well after my time and reading all of you folks fondly recall him made me feel kind of like a wooly mammoth thawed from a high school football glacier. Whew!!! I mean, I can remember watching Al Woolard coach Lawrence, High, when Lawrence was invincible for a decade, and I was a whipper asking my dad if Shawnee Mission North, the school that I would one day attend ever be any good? Then in my junior high and high school years Larry Taylor took over from Reese Pollard and at Shawnee Mission North and went on a tear winning ten straight state championships. We just manhandled Lawrence in those years and waited for the state championship game with a top Wichita school to test us and, of course, ten straight seasons we beat them. Then my beloved Coach Taylor hung up the whistle and John Stauffer, my old jump coach in track took over, while Dick Purdy ran SM West to the top and former Taylor assistant John Davis ran SM South to the top. Then I heard Purdy wound up over at Lawrence and built Lawrence back into a power, and then came Freeman, or maybe I’ve got that all wrong. I had moved to the West Coast before Taylor even retired. But the point is that I have been told that the Shawnee Mission schools are long gone and the Olathe Schools took over the mantle, but Lawrence High has kept at it over the long haul. For not being a football state, eastern Kansas has had a remarkable bunch run of exceptional high school football coaches since the late 1950s. Can anyone tell me if anyone is on a roll these days in eastern Kansas High School Football? And then

  KU started 11 freshmen against Texas. And I know we want Willis to develop, but if he’s not at 100%, he doesn’t need to be playing and risking further injury and hampering his development this year or potentially missing spring practice if he gets injured too badly. With a groun injury, his mobility is going to be next to nothing and he’s just going to get tee’d off on by defenders. This is the same injury Todd Reesing played with as a senior and KU went winless after he hurt his groin against Colorado when the streak started.

  @JRyman I live in AR where Razorback fans fly their SEC flag like an earned stripe or star. I too like to laugh at their pretensions to greatness…that said, Nebraska has a more consistent history of success that I’m sure is disheartning to the Red.

  @HighEliteMajor Fields like the legal, medical, engineering and other white collar jobs often come down more to who you rather than what you know in regards to who gets hired at the higher paying firms. I’ve dealt with a lot of PE’s who didn’t have a clue what they were doing when they would design an element of a building and I would have to redo their design so.it could function in the real world. After dealing with an design firm across multiple projects, you start realizing which of their PE’s kniw their stuff and which ones don’t have clue what their doing. It also became a pretty common theme to find out those PE’s who were terrible at their jobs usually had a dad, uncle, or family friend in the industry that got them their job. A lot of those types of fields frequently have incompetent people who cruised through school in the bottom half of their classes and didn’t put in the work because of who they knew in that profession. There are many public defenders and small town laywers who are way better at their jobs than people at bigger firms, but are in that position because they didn’t know the right people. Your views on issues like that are something you really need to take a step back from and reexamine because it is very flawed and distorted view from what reality is.

  At KU we don’t have moral victories in football. We have edifying shortfalls in the score.

  Absolutely agree with Texas hawk. KU probably won’t win a game this year. Which stinks will be the only 0-12 season in our history. But I’m will to bet we win 2 or 3 next year mainly because of the younger guys like Willis will learn a ton from this year’s hard schedule. Stay the coarse increase scholarship number buy as much as we can I believe 7 if no one leaves

  I’m not saying he is great, but no way should he have a “hot seat”. Give the man some time!

  Uh, Montel Cozart isn’t a Big 12 QB?? Cozart wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell at starting for North Dakota State. I mean, that completely hypothetical situation is laughable it would be so unlikely. He’s not a QB. Switch him to WR or HB and invest in somebody else, and start bringing along one of these young guys.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 Now that’s a great link. Thx for passing that along!!! But again, the global ROI ain’t there, so why are they spending so much on football? This is the key point. It’s obvious why they write big checks to a soccer team that markets well to the Crown of Great Britain’s Commonwealth–the 3rd largest economic entity on the planet. Slam dunk. What are they buying in a college game parked in an American cultural cul de sac? It’s challenging for persons to think flexibly about this sort of stuff. They either want to think locally, or globally, but struggle with scoping between both. There are vertical and horizontal dimensions to political, economic, military and logistic activity and they simultaneously have local and global dynamics. It’s not an either-or, or even a both, world of analysis. It’s an “all” world simultaneously. You’ve got to get comfortable with it to keep from shutting out the most interesting parts.

  Anyone else see no. 6 Auburn’s close call with FCS Jacksonville State? Seeing that actually made me feel a little bit better about our close loss to SDSU.

  Not sure Briles loses his job because there are conflicting reports out of Boise State about what was and was not said when the transfer happened. Depending on what Briles knew and what he covered up, he may get fired, but Baylor suspended Ukwuachu once he got into trouble there, so Baylor did not cover up his deeds while in their program. But the thing is, here is Boise State’s statement about Ukwuachu . That’s from last week. Boise is saying they didn’t know about it, so Petersen saying he told Briles is inconsistent with what Boise says they even knew at the time Ukwuachu was dismissed. There is more truth to be uncovered out there, and that truth could cost lots of people at Baylor, Boise and maybe even Washington their jobs.

  Jake Heaps: Broke a LOT of frosh records at BYU, but then the offense gets changed, so he sits…and thus the transfer. Comes to KU for Weis’ pro-style offense, but as Dayne Crist found out the hard way: KU’s O-line and WR’s are simply unable to execute ANY type of effin’ offense. The same o-line and WR issues felled BOTH of KU’s former 5star overall #1 ranked QBs. Wrong place, wrong time. A very sad chapter in KU football, with simply not enough talent around Dayne and Jake to allow them to shine. Our football program FAILED them in their final shot. Thanks, Lew!

  @Crimsonorblue22 Sounds like a good thing. Although, they could put padding like some material like foam on the outside of the helmet right now and most likely reduce this problem at least 50%. I actually had a leather strip about 4" wide on my helmet in jr high. It kind of looked like a mohawk.
