Need a birthday win from my alma mater

Let's demo the North, South and West sides as well and concentrate on basketball.

Here's what you younger Jayhawks need to know about John Hadl. In 1961 Coach Jack Mitchell made an unusual change by moving Lawrence native John Hadl from halfback to quarterback prior to his junior season. Hadl was also the punter, setting a KU record that still stands and one that led the nation for many years – a season punting average at 45.6 yards. He also holds the record for the longest punt of 94 yards against Oklahoma in 1960. I was there. I saw it – a quick kick that just bounced and bounced and bounced! Hadl also holds the record for the longest kick-off return of 97-yards against Syracuse. He also set a record that stood for over 50 years with the longest pass interception return of 98-yards against TCU. He was named first-team All-American as a halfback in 1960 and a first-team All-American at quarterback in 1961. He led the Jayhawks to their first bowl victory, a 33–7 win over the Rice Owls in the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston, Texas, signing his pro contract under the goal posts after the game. I watched the game on TV. The contract signing was carried on TV as well, as this was the beginning of the “war” to sign college footballers between the established NFL and the upstart AFL. Hadl was named the MVP of the East-West Shrine Game AND the College All-Star game, the only player to be so-honored. Of course, Hadl went on to a pro Hall of Fame career playing quarterback for the San Diego Chargers, still wearing #21.

@DanR which would be very dumb since the legislature spearheaded the effort and passed the actual bonding authority. The border war continued long into Brownback’s first term, which got to the point where both sides (and people including Laura Kelly) were like yeah this has to stop.

@drgnslayr Oh I agree about Hunter, he was the catalyst to our internal issues. I'm not sure he was the only one from last years squad though. There were several that also contributed to it. Im glad this bunch is looking like vintage Self teams from a chemistry and team aspect.

Well this loss could hurt possibly. had heard a lot of very good things with him shining in camps- --QB David McComb was transferring - -really taking hits this year lost a OL also --not good.- -wasn't going to recruit a QB this year but NOW we are. Could be a long year this coming Season as we took a step backwards this past year. -Think this past Season ,- --plus playing time - - -& portal NIL all played big parts - -like I said I think this very well could hurt big

@BShark did you read the story about ncs coach going off on his team about not being tough?

@other-sites@unshittified.club Testing federation

I’d listen to Farmer..

@HoraceZontal Sorry you had to have i too no fun that's for sure. glad it helped you though , hoping it will help me also

Saddest stat of the season so far….. Darryn Peterson has played a grand total of 22 minutes in AFH.

@bskeet Problem is they got a lot of work to do this off season, They reeived a lot of attention from sports talk show from analysts-- talking about they better get some help to get a pass rush this year they really didn't have much other then when they sent five to rush. T

nice nice

Wisconsin beat Texas to go to the final 4. Kind of an upset. Texas swept them earlier this year.

It's all about money and the more games the better but at the expense of the bowl game communities. Definitely get rid of the bye games as bskeet said.

@approxinfinity a few years ago my son "encouraged " me to watch a show like that. I thought I'd hate it, but it was really cool!

@BeddieKU23 Nice post! Yes... I think he is sort of next year's Bidunka we need to retain. He doesn't have Bidunka's energy, which will be sorely missed, but he has a lot more offensive skills. I just saw an interview with him where he mentions they are trying to get him to play more aggressive, and push most into the paint for his baskets. Bidunka is still very rough on the offensive side. I think his draft stock is still pretty low. I expect him to stay in college another year or so. I'm not even sure about Bidunka's draft stock. It's going to be a competitive year this year, and next year should not be this competitive (but who knows). I also discovered we might challenge Mel's eligibility to try to keep him another year! Wow!
