Chum is on point - 3 ints dont equal an A game, but it does for ku. As far as coaching goes, I think Mangina's fist year at ku was in 2002, in his second year he came off the non-con with a 3-1 record (similar "tough schedule"), beat MU and all of the JCCC-L fans were going bananas too - where did you all end that year? I will refresh your memory:
Colorado L 50-47 4-2 (1-1)
Baylor W 28-21 5-2 (2-1)
No. 10 Kansas State L 42-6 5-3 (2-2)
Texas A&M L 45-33 5-4 (2-3)
No. 21 Nebraska L 24-3 5-5 (2-4)
No. 22 Oklahoma State L 44-21 5-6 (2-5)
Iowa State W 36-7 6-6 (3-5)
Following that stellar performance, you even made it to the Tangerine bowl game of which ku students got FREE admission to draw you down for a day after Xmas bowl game - and there was STILL a weak showing.
North Carolina State L 56-26 6-7 (3-5)
Sorry, still not sold on the new found dominance of ku just yet.
