Football Complex Drawings Released

A Sign of Progress

The Kansas Athletic Department released final drawings of the new $31 million football complex slated to open in July of 2008. That's good news as progress on the project coupled with a strong on-the-field performance in 2007 should make for a strong recruiting class in 2008. As we all know by now, the complex will sit just south of the stadium toward the east so as to not block the hill.  Warren Corman, University Architect made the following statement about integrating the building into the scenic setting:

"The new football facility will embrace the hillside southwest of the football stadium in a manner that will not detract from the beauty of campanile hill.  It will nestle into the hillside where an asphalt parking lot now exists and the roof over the underground weight room will be covered with natural grass turf."

Drawings of the complex posted in the LJW story are a little easier to access than the ones held in a PDF on the KU site.

Angus Quigley Profile

It was exciting to see that KUsports.com posted a lengthy profile on Angus Quigley and the freak injury that wrecked his 2006 season. Definitely a weird deal and from here on out, I'd like a daily report on how Angus is doing.

Big News Day

With all the KU football news today, the offensive line preview will be delayed another day. I don't want it to be buried three stories deep.
