Boy, did I have a flash black when Da Bear's Super Bowl Shuffle started playing. I don't remember it being that bad when I was younger. I guess my tastes have become more descriminating because this is horrible...especially Jim "Superbad" McMahon in his sun glasses.

Kansas Football's defensive coordinator has accepted a job at the University of Miami as their new defensive coordinator. As the Rock Chalk Talk blog points out, "the best sign of an up-and-coming program is for assistants to receive opportunities to move up in the world." Apparently Young feels like he is finished with what he set out to accomplish at Kansas--taking a struggling team and make them good.

His replacement is speculated to be Clint Bowen, Kansas' co-defensive coordinator from last year. Do you think this will have an impact on the Jayhawks next season?

I can't say that anyone is surprised to see these three move on from Kansas as the rumors and speculations have been floating around for a while now. Coach Tim Beck, one of the best recruiters for Kansas, has decided to become the running backs coach in Nebraska--Let's hope with this past season the recruits will keep coming.

Aqib Talib and Anthony Collins apparently made a pact to either stay at Kansas together or play with the big boys. With Talib being currently forecasted as a second round draft pick (and possibly first round) he couldn't resist seizing the opportunity. So Collins, will follow.

Is it so important that your team has the hottest chicks that you would Photoshop an image?

Aqib Talib showed the world last night how he can anticipate Hokie moves to help lead the Jayhawks to their 24-21 victory. He made his job look effortless. Way to go Talib and fellow Jayhawks!

In preparations for tonight's game Jayhawks stepped on FedEx field yesterday and participated in an Orange Bowl Eve luncheon. Mangino didn't say much about tonight's game but he made it very clear this will not be the last time you hear about Jayhawk football. He plans on staying for many years to continue to build the team. Don't worry about him "running off in the middle of the night to some strange town interviewing for a job and not telling anybody at Kansas."

Rock Chalk Talk pointed us to a great video edited Kansas football's own #37 Micah Brown which gives a neat overview of the 2007 (first video below). That prompted me to find some other great KU Football 2007 videos. Enjoy!

Apparently, some one got an early Christmas present watching Ryan Wood (a reporter of the Lawrence Journal World) jump at a breaking story of Mangino leaving Kansas for West Virginia. He jumped so fast at posting the story the prankster didn't have time to let him in on the joke. The local paper had to actually post a retraction. I am sure there were some sad Jayhawks for a short time...but all is well in Crimson and Blue land. Nothing to worry about!

Now, I won't argue that he is good but let's get real. Between his hot girlfriend and all these awards this guy is seriously going to have a big head.

Is this over the top even for a Steelers fan?

A "wife took her late husband's ashes to Heinz Field to watch the game between the Steelers and the Jacksonville Jaguars, fulfilling his dying wish"

I am sure glad my office mate doesn't play in the office like this!
