rivalry week


I know this is my first post, but there's something I must tell you up front - I hate the jayhawks. What is a jayhawk, you ask? It's a mythical bird. The lamest collegiate mascot in the land. Although Ugly Fugly labeled them the fourth ugliest collegiate mascot, I must disagree. On this matter, and this matter alone, I rank them number one.


It has been a tough week for the fighting Manginos. If you haven't heard, their head coach is battling to save his job. According to several current and former players, he has done more than push players around or poke them in the chest. He has allegedly made some racist remarks to his players. This is not only unprofessional but completely inhumane. Mangino believes these complaints are from only one percent of the program, the people who "want their fifteen minutes." While I love seeing kU in trouble, I have to wonder where the other 99% are right now and why they're not speaking up to save their coach. Either way, I think it's going to be tough for the big man to keep his job.


Despite these distractions, I'm still nervous about the 2009 installment of the Border Showdown. Although the beakers are 5-6, a win against us would mean more than braggin' rights - it would mean bowl eligibility. I know we're better. Heck, we're much better than our 7-4 record, too. But it's still going to be a tough game.


As the week winds down, I'll be ready for this Big 12 battle. You'll find me at Arrowhead in my gold, cheering on my beloved Tigers. Here's to a solid week of preparation and the dismantling of the beakers. M-I-Z...
