Rock Chalk Talk

The one word that describes this Kansas basketball team, the 19-0 #2 ranked 2007-2008 Kansas Jayhawks, is boring. Yes, I meant "boring". Not a word you usually use to describe a team like Kansas, a word usually reserved for teams at the bottom-of-the-barrel. We don't...

In our two previous tests, against Arizona and on the road in Los Angeles against USC, we didn't play very well. Against the Wildcats, we let Chase Budinger explode in Allen Fieldhouse, allowing him to go for 27 points. Against USC, we shot about 3-a million in the first half,...

Rock Chalk Talk
| Comments
Despite what ESPN says, despite what FOX says, despite any numbers that are thrown out there, Kansas does not have the 109th schedule in the country. Our schedule was bad. Our non-con schedule was horrendous. But it wasn't that bad, at least according to any service given any attention...

I'm scared of this game. Really scared. USC is a good team, the best time we have seen so far this season. They can go to t heir bench and bring in athlete after athlete after athlete, and they have legitimate stars-in-the-making over there. Namely O.J. Mayo and Daniel Hackett...

The biggest test of the year, here we come. O.J. Mayo, here we come. USC, here we come. The timing is horrible, right smack-dab in the middle of the Chiefs game. And despite Damon Huard starting, I still love my Chiefs. I will probably Tivo the Jayhawks game, a basketball game is less time-...

Games like the one played Sunday morning are crucial to the development of this team. We played a team with just as much talent as we have, if not more, on the road. USC will make the NCAA Tournament. Probably as a 3/4/5 seed. They are a very good team, and are led by two freshmen...

Kansas has 11 wins. Kansas is ranked #2 in the BCS. Kansas will, at worst, play in the Cotton Bowl. No matter what happens from here on out, even if we lose to MIsery by a hundred thousand billion points, this season is a success. I pegged this season as a Show-Me season for Mark Mangino...
