Barking Carnival

KU has completed their interviews and I'd expect them to make a move within the next three weeks. Our friends at Oread Boom Kings have the skinny on the replacement for the Fat Man. According to the estimable HipHop, the preferential public pecking order appears to be:

Teh link. The AD told the players at a meeting last night, and at least one player was, for lack of a better word, sad. "There's definitely a little sadness in it," Kansas defensive back Justin Thornton said.

This was a methodical win, a great celebration of our seniors and Colt’s place in history; and I saw some encouraging things, particularly on offense. I’m less interested in breaking down every aspect of this game than in using this game as a basis for evaluating some of the good and bad things we did and how they’ll play out for us in College Station,

During undefeated LSU's game against Georgia on October 3rd, the officials incorrectly flagged Georgia with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after they took the lead with a little over a minute to play.
