Spring Is Here

Jayhawk's Have Spring Game Envy

While other Big 12 schools have put up gawdy numbers for spring games, Kansas will expect to see about 5,000 at today's game. The crazy thing is that is about five times the attendance from my first spring game early in this decade. Despite steady growth during the Mangino era, I'm still not sure how roughly 25,000 season ticket holders can pass on free admission, a free-t-shirt and the relaxed, festive spring atmosphere. No matter, the school is working on it -- KUsports.com link. My suggestion is to unveil a new mega-board to rival the Texas and Nebraska standard at the 2008 spring game. Surely such an aquistion is in our near future to keep up in the recruiting battles.

For your best preview of the today's game, I recommend today's KC Star article. For your recap/analysis, I recommend tomorrow's edition of Hawk Digest.
