Good afternoon gents. A thing happened today that I have been waiting for my entire teenage/adult life. Kansas University beat the hell out of Nebraska. I don't mean won, I mean stomped their guts out. 76-39. Now I realise that the 39 means the D wasn't up to snuff. It wasn't in the first half. NU scored 24 of the 39 in the first half. They held them to 15 the second half. If you have watched any KU football this year, and who does besides us locals, you would know they have a championship defense and a very balanced offense. We are the quietest #8 ranked team in the country. If you know anything about the history of this football "program", it has been the doormat of the Big8/Big12. Till two years ago we hadn't beaten Nebraska in nearly 30 years. We played them to double OT last year at their in a narrow loss. This year was OURS. Period. I can't tell you how many times our own stadium was a sea of red when NU came to town. Not this year. Sellout crowd of BIG BLUE. At one point, our QB led the team to 8 STRAIGHT TD DRIVES this game. We scored more points against NU than any team in their history. I reveled in it. I don't know if KU can continue this way for a sustained number of seasons but I don't care. We are 9-0 and two games away from a showdown with the Misery Tigers in Arrowhead stadium in K.C. Dare I hope for an undefeated season? I would like to think so. If we win the Big 12 North, and we should, then it sets up a Big 12 title game with mighty Oklahoma. A tall order for any team. So for all you guys who have supported a local doormat of a program, who have hoped in vain for ONE good season followed by maybe another, this one is for you baby! Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
Regards, Todd
BTW, we are the only team in the nation with a top ten football and basketball program. Life is good this week for Jayhawks.
