Mangino's Greatest Hits: KU / MU 2005

Link to the KUsports.com Highlights 

This one gets a little lost among some of the other, but the 13-3 win over Missouri in 2005 was key for the season. The week before Jason Swanson got some time in a blowout loss at Colorado. You started to see that KU might finally have a leader at QB and sure enough the Jayhawks were a whole different team against the Tigers. The game ended a four-game losing streak and also introduced us to Aqib Talib as he intercepted a Brad Smith pitch for a huge turnover. His take:

"He kind of pitched it and dude didn't catch it," said Talib

I have nothing to add, except that I'm loving this series. Keep 'em coming.

I would echo HipHops comments, excellent series...it's also a good reminder that despite MU's recent success we still own Gary Pinkel, 4 out of the last 6.

You know, I have thought about this series for quite a while, but I always had thought of it in terms of ranking them by greatness. So, then I'd get hung up on that. As I was heading out of town, I needed some type of series and it occurred to me to just do them all chronologically. The really cool thing would be to have a photo and the box score, but I've never really confirmed with KU athletics to see if they are cool with posting the box from their website.

Beautiful stuff, really let's you look back at how far we have come. These victories where so huge given their time and place to building this program

Slowly getting back into the swing of things and this series should start back up tomorrow. It's a good one.
