With $Bill "giddy" as a school girl in Lincoln on Saturday, it seems Fran may still be able to save his job. All he has to do is win out, or come close to winning out. Unfortunately we will finish out the year against four top 25 teams: Kansas, @Oklahoma, @Missouri, and Texas. We have never played four straight Top 25 teams to end the season.
First up Kansas, who is 7-0 and playing out of their minds. They are No. 2 nationally in scoring defense, No. 3 in scoring offense, No. 1 in kickoff returns and No. 4 in turnover margin. KU owes its new found success to head coach Mark Mangino (pictured above) who owes his success to other big time coaches. He learned about organization from Tressel (Ohio State), about X's and O's from Snyder (K State), about attitude from Stoops(OU), and about eating from Joey Chestnut (hot dot eating world record holder, 66 dogs and buns in 12 minutes, pictured lower left).
