Well, so much for spring optimism. The KU baseball team limped out of Hawaii after going 2-3 vs. the University of Hawaii-Hilo. Over the last few years the Vulcans of UHH have been terrible and so these early losses really blindsided me. I was expecting either four or five wins. My...

A big game for the Jayhawks, to prove they can win in hostile road environments and strengthen their case for a #1 seed, but an even bigger one for the bubble-bound Texas A&M Aggies. A home win against the Jayhawks would probably clinch an NCAA bid for Turgeon's club, with...

Even with our struggles, even with our lackluster performances of late, even with our nine-point loss to the Powercats the last time we played them, I am amazingly confident of tonight's outcome. Call it a gut feeling. Call it confidence. Call it cockiness. Call it a by-product...
