The KU Rayhawks are NOT going through a rough patch. They make Raytown, Missouri proud!

Palo Alt, Lawrence.....Same thing

West Lawrence rivals Palo Alto in some circles.

West Lawrence rivals exceeds Palo Alto in some circles.

I know this is late Chuck Weiss stuff, but I found it to comical not to share.

Today I was talking with a friend of mine who played at KU in the mid/late 90's. He has a friend who interviewed for an assistant coaching position last year with Weiss. He said when he walked in, Chuck was sitting there with a polo on and a blanket. He thought this was odd because it was June and not cold outside. After the interview, he asks Bowen what the blanket was about, and he said Chuck gets too sweaty wearing pants, so he just hangs out without pants and covers up with a blanket.

He also told another tale of a time when Weis got up from his computer to get something from a printer on the other side of the room. When Chuck got up, he was sporting no pants.

Let that image sink into your brain for a minute.

West Lawrence rivals Palo Alto in some circles.

Both places suck pretty hard, but are less than 20 miles from really desirable places to live. If not for proximity, they'd be miniature Topeka and sacrament

The fact that you don't see the potential that Jim has in Lawrence is very comical.  Stanford was 16-40 the 5 years before Jim got there.  Once he got his guys in there, Stanford went from being terrible in the Pac-12 to winning the Orange Bowl.  The only reason Shaw has had success is because he inherited what Jim had already built the short time he was there.

The Big 12 is a much better conference than the crap Pac-12 with much deeper recruiting opportunities.  You give the reins to Jim with the opportunities available in Lawrence, watch out.

Delusion has a tendency to make the aspirations and potential seem far greater than it really is.

I personally, would think Jim Harbaugh would be a great addition to the Big 12 because it makes KU competitive and add to the overall strength of the conference.  However, realistically, he *might* be influenced by his wife enough, along with the discontent in SF, to make it more in the realm of reality, but more accurately, within a few feet of the actual outside boundary (ie, almost out of fantasyland, near unicorn avenue.)  However, if the winter passes and it's some coordinator that has ties to Mangino that ends up getting it, how will you spin this as being better than hiring Harbaugh?  I expect your zeal to be at least as intense as your current "You just wait and see!" energy.

To think that Jim would bring anything other than a positive to the Big 12 is hysterical.  The guy has won in the D1 ranks, and turned a franchise around that had been in disarray for years, in the 49ers.  He is hired, drafts Smith and Kap, who have both been successful, yes Smith has had his issues but a very productive player none the less.

In his first season he took the 49ers deeper than they had been in almost 15 years.  The next year after resigning Smith who eventually got hurt Kap started.  When Smith got healthy Jim knew Kap was the future.  That kind of talent recognition is rare in today's coaching landscape.  Apply that to a similar QB in Cozart, unreal potential.

Jim sees the potential that Lawrence provides and is going to make the jump.  I didn't address the OC getting the job because we don't want anything to do with Mangino anymore.

I typed this out with the understanding wildcat fans would know which Smith was drafted with Kap.  In addition which Smith, Kap took the place of.  Dumbass.

I don't know who's piloting this sock, but it's damn fine work.

Why is drafting Aldon Smith relevant? Did Jim's wife want him to draft Aldon because of the midwest values he learned? Is that another piece in the Harbaugh to KU puzzle? 

[bucket]

Also, don't use Smith interchangeably, moron.

you guys we should be happy for this excitement, i mean, you never know when brady is gonna be fired and jim hired

No one was questioning Harbaugh's resume when it comes to building successful teams.  I was questioning your fantasy dream of thinking KU would ACTUALLY sign Harbaugh.    The first step is for Harbaugh to actually say, publicly or privately, he is interested in going to KU and there is movement in terms of negotiations to that effect.  That's a BIG FAT HUGE EFFING IF!   The fact there has been insidery speculation on ESPN that his wife wants to come home and be near family, and that, perhaps at one time, he MIGHT have been interested, says nothing about the current situation.  Far be it from me to throw cold water on your wet dream public spanking of the monkey, by all means.  Just stroke that Harbaugh boner pud.

Thanks for getting the archive back mj

[meow meow]

You know what's close to Olathe?  K-State Olathe campus.  The rumors are the Harbaughs are coming to Kansas not to coach KU, but to be the HCIW under Coach Snyder.  Some of you might like this idea, but I think we can do much better personally.

[CHONGS]

I think its 50/50 that dem Hawks get the 'Baugh.

[CNS]

Harbaugh to KSU seems reasonable.

i think we can do better, but there's definitely smoke here

[Dugout DickStone]

It's weird how many ku fans have never left the state of Kansas.
