    This was a great piece. Kansas is the best storyline to the season so far IMO. Whatever happens the rest of the season, I'm happy KU has a football program they can be proud of.

      Thank you SoonerDaveOKC. So do we. If they can keep it up the game between our two Alma maters will take on true significance. Best of luck in the Red River Rivalry game.

      @@MickeyMouse-lm6zj We'll see about that. They played Iowa State pretty tough, obviously caught some breaks (ISU's kicker missing 3 of 4 FG) and their defense rose to the occasion several key times during that game. TCU has a powerful offense, no doubt, but their defense isn't as strong as ISU's. I say it's another close game and 50/50 on the result.

    Literally had tears in my eyes when KU blocked a kick and returned it for a TD against Tennessee Tech. I have watched so many KU teams struggle to lose by 30 or less. At the moment that kick was blocked, I knew this team was not one of those teams.

      @@brycelandon6387 NOW...the Jayhawks REALLY have to prove their worth in college football. 5 & 0 is an excellent start, but the true test of the schedule is dead-ahead. TCU toyed with Oklahoma on Saturday and they're coming into Lawrence for a showdown with KU. ESPN will be there for College Football Saturday and it will be a National show, which will help KU's football program in just about every possible way. So with the National spotlight on them, they'll need to play one of their best games of the season vs the Horned Frogs. I LOVED the fact that Scott Van Pelt was wrong in predicting that KU would lose to Iowa State. I think he'll think things through a bit more before he says anything like that again.

    I know that we, Kansas fans, truly appreciate all of the non-Kansas fans' well wishes...not for the sympathy it my imply...but because of the strength it reveals, in those we compete against. Those with the strongest, most serious competitive spirit, who are the most secure in themselves, have the capacity to wish good things to those they are in competition with, without being diminished themselves. Ultimate competitiveness includes a proportionate understanding that your rivals have similar goals as you have. If you can't see the capability in someone else, it's because you, yourself, don't have it. God Bless You All.

      Ehh...while yes, you're right, I agree with you (and being a Kansas fan, humble is the name of the game)...It's more of the eye test; the way they've played, how they look doing it is what people are impressed by, and not just by comparison, or "for a Kansas team". How the athletes look, themselves, individually, then their execution, collectively, is very strong, on its own. But, anyone getting ahead of themselves is foolish, at the very least.
