Should Mangino be Fired?

Mark Mangino isn’t known for being a nice guy. People may have put up with his rants in the past, but with new allegations from players who say that the Kansas coach was abusive during practices, some people are, of course, calling for his head on a platter.
Says Mangino of the issue,
“I run this program with a lot of integrity. I have been in this conference for nearly 20 years, and what I can tell you is that our coaching intensity is not largely different from the rest of the Big Eight and Big 12 teams I’ve observed.”

2009 Midseason Undefeated and Winless
October 13, 2009 by Allison Boyer
Filed under Football
We’re about at the mid-season point for college football. I always think it’s interesting to see which teams have gone undefeated so far and which teams have yet to win a game. By this time, most teams have had at least ONE tough opponent and at least ONE game where they had a chance to win. Here’s how the lists look this year:
Undefeated:
Alabama
Boise State
Cincinnati
Florida
Iowa
Kansas
South Florida
TCU
Texas
Winless
Ball State
Eastern Michigan
Florida Atlantic
Miami (OH)
New Mexico
Rice
Western Kentucky
Really, I think the big surprises here are that there are no major surprises. Few people would have put Iowa on the undefeated list when predicting records at this point …read more

Rip it Off or Cut it Out? The Kansas Chant
October 11, 2008 by Allison Boyer
Filed under Football
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 …read more
