Since 2003, Kansas students have a strange tradition. At kickoff, they yell “Rip his fucking head off.” Ok, I guess it isn’t that strange - if you’ve seen Adam Sandler’s The Water Boy, you now that a fan yells that in the movie.

Problem is, this isn’t a movie. There are a lot of young fans in the audience and watching TV, and some think that this cheer is embarrassing and inappropriate. On Thursday, Kansas coach Mark Mangino actually sent out an email to the students, asking them to forget the chant.

Still, for some, it is just a fun tradition. Even some of the team members stand behind it - senior linebacker Joe Mortensen said that it is motivation. Students ignored the requests to censor their shout and yelled it again today, causing the alumni and other fans to boo loudly.

I can see both sides on this one. There are other, non-offensive ways to cheer on Kansas, but maybe people are being a little too sensitive. What do you think?

If you turned on your TV during the first half of the Kansas/South Florida game, you probably would have changed the channel. I did, for awhile. It looked like a blow out…well, at least it looked like a Kansas win.

I don’t know what Coach Jim Leavitt said at half time, but the Bulls we saw in the second half looked nothing like the calves we saw in the first half. Kansas didn’t exactly play like shit, but suddenly, they were playing a top-ranked team.

Fast forward to the end of the game…suddenly, the score is 34-34. USF was forced to kick away the ball with a little more than two minutes left in the game, and after a few good drives, it looked like the Jayhawks were going to at least be in great field goal range.

And then, Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing made his only real major mistake of the night…he threw an interception. They ran it back into field goal range with under a minute on the clock, ran the ball until the clock down to just two seconds. It all came down to the true freshman kicker Maikon Bonani.

With his whole world watching, Bonani came through.

I didn’t think it was going to be good. Bonani must have got a gust of wind from god, because it almost didn’t make it. But he did, and Kansas fell, which may push them out of the top ten this week. Manginao is not pleased.

But Bonani? In the words of my roommate,

“He is so getting laid tonight.”

No one can dispute that the Big 12 has talent this year. With quarterbacks like Chase Daniel and defensive players like Auston English and Nic Harris, we should be seeing good things from this conference this year. Maybe not SEC level play, overall, but definitely good things.

The problem is that their are no real stars. In the SEC, Big Ten, Pac-10, ACC, and other conferences, you can clearly name some of the players who have a chance for the Heisman and other awards. In the Big 12, there are few standouts.

You can see this simply by looking at the list of players chose for the Preseason All-Big 12 Football team. The first team list is solid enough:

Offense:

• Chase Daniel, QB, Missouri
• Marlon Lucky, RB, Nebraska
• DeMrco Murray, RB, Oklahoma
• Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
• Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
• Chase Coffman, TE, Missouri
• Duke Robinson, OL, Oklahoma
• Phil Loadholt, OL, Oklahoma
• Jon Cooper, C, Oklahoma
• Louis Vasquez, OL, Texas Tech
• Colin Brown, OL, Missouri
• Cedric Docker, OL, Texas
• Jeff Wolfert, PK, Missouri
• Marcus Herford, KR, Kansas

Defense:

• Auston English, DL, Oklahoma
• Ian Campbell, DL, Kansas State
• Geoge Hypolite, DL, Colorado
• Brian Orakpo, DL, Texas
• Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
• Joe Mortenson, LB, Kansas
• Joe Pawelek, LB, Baylor
• Nic Harris, DB, Oklahoma
• William Moore, DB, Missouri
• Jamar Wall, DB, Texas Tech
• Jordan Lake, DB, Baylor
• Justin Brantly, P, Texas A&M
• Jeremy Maclin, PR, Missouri

Out of all of those players, though, Michael Crabtree (pictured above) from Texas Tech was the only player named unanimously to the team, and that’s saying something.

One thing is for sure, though. If this list is any indication, Oklahoma is the Big 12 team to watch this year!
