Chasing A.R. "Bert" Kennedy: Mark Mangino Closes In

www.annependleton.com

Thought we'd check in on the all-time win list (below) for Kansas football coaches. Mark Mangino currently holds a tie for fourth with Don Fambrough at 37 wins. I think it'll be over for Don in week one. The reality is third place is pretty much a lock and  Mangino has a pretty legitimate shot at #2 ... all he has to do is duplicate last year's record. Final summation: start interviewing statue makers.

Other Notes of Interest:

--Three of the top six KU coaches have losing records
--We sure don't talk about A.R. Kennedy enough
--KU has a great history in football. Until last year though you just couldn't call it a "recent" history. When Kennedy finished up in 1910, KU had an all-time record of 126-46-10

I found this webpage. You guys have to check it out - I think you will like it. It has news feeds from the top Jayhawks news websites and blogs.

That's a great page. Similar to www.sportsnipe.com but with more smaller KU feeds that I haven't seen. Of course, I like my news page because it all feeds into one channel, but this is going to have to go on the resources page.

Very cool, thanks for the hookup. DJ
