Keegan: What if KU stuns Texas?
In theory, Central Arkansas could have defeated No. 1 Kansas on Thursday night in Allen Fieldhouse. The Bears didn’t, losing 94-44, but since they played on the same basketball court under the same rules, a victory was within the realm of possibility.
Mayer: Drama takes away from game
Anyone else dream of those times when athletic teams got ready to compete, coaches and players discussed what was shaping up, played games and then talked about what happened, win or lose?
Keegan: Mangino wins games, not friends
When he coached his team to an Orange Bowl victory and a 12-1 record just two seasons ago, he was fiery, a western Pennsylvania, blue-collar underdog who made it big and never forgot his roots.
Keegan: Center Aldrich steady
Xavier Henry missed shots, froze the offense by keeping the ball too long and at times was sloppy.
Keegan: Women put on a show
Look for Allen Fieldhouse crowd counts to climb from Sunday’s figure (3,860) once word spreads throughout town about just how captivating a show sixth-year Kansas University coach Bonnie Henrickson’s best team puts on.
Keegan: Kansas seniors deserved better
In some ways, it seemed like just yesterday that Todd Reesing stretched his arms and started tossing a football on the sideline, warming up to rip off his red shirt, save a sinking game and, as it turned out, push a tradition-poor football program to new heights.
Keegan: Kansas proves unselfish
The fear, expressed often by those who pin a large chunk of their happiness on the outcome of Kansas University basketball games, was this year’s team would be so deep there wouldn’t be enough minutes to go around.
Mayer: New facility electric
Bill Self is, along with everything else, a super promoter, so when he calls the current Allen Fieldhouse package the best basketball venue in the world, some might be dubious.
Keegan: Robinson not just a ‘motor’
One of the coolest things about the game Dr. James Naismith invented in Springfield, Mass., as it’s played today, is that no two players are alike.
Keegan: KU ’09 like ’07? Hardly
A popular opinion heading into this football season espoused the belief that this Kansas University team would be just as good as the 2007 version, but would not be able to duplicate its 12-1 record because that team played a softer conference schedule than this one. It sounded reasonable enough at the time, but it has played out wrong on both counts.
Keegan: K-State wins by not losing
Sometimes the best way to win a football game is by not losing it.
Keegan: Reesing’s impact huge
It won’t be until next year, when Todd Reesing is gone, that it will become clear how much of the growth of the Kansas University football program can be attributed to improved recruiting and how much to having a once-in-a-generation quarterback. The answer lies somewhere in the middle.
Mayer: Reesing deserves courtesy
Speculation continues about how many of its four remaining games the Kansas University football team will win. The immediate emphasis should be on bagging that first ONE. End the current slump, now three losses deep, then there might be a reason to discuss a 7-5 or better record and a decent bowl game.
Keegan: Johnson provides suspense
Given the presence of softies on a nonconference schedule that features Allen Fieldhouse visitors Central Arkansas, Tennessee Tech and Alcorn State, the crowd will need something other than suspense to stave off daydreaming.
Keegan: Meier could be answer
If Todd Reesing doesn’t show enough in practice to prove he’s fully healthy, then the right choice for QB, obviously, is senior receiver Kerry Meier.
