Kansas Jayhawks Beat Down Texas

Just a couple of weeks ago most college basketball fans, including myself, thought Kansas’ visit to Austin would decided which school would go on to win the Big 12 regular season title. Both teams had been ranked #1 at different points in the season and seemed like they were on a collision course.

That was before Texas was exposed as just another college basketball team with mediocre guard play and before Kansas established themselves as the only team capable of winning a Big 12 road game. So instead of a battle for the top spot, the Longhorns were merely trying to close the gap between the Big 1 and the other 11.

The Jayhawks improved to 23-1 (9-0) with an 80-68 victory at Texas that wasn’t as close as the final score indicates. Kansas took charge midway through the first half, forcing the Longhorns into 17 turnovers versus only 6 assists. Senior point guard Sherron Collins almost out-assisted Texas by himself as he dished out 5 and scored 15 points.

Two tough road games, Texas A&M and Missouri, remain on the Jayhawks Big 12 schedule, but with every other team in the conference already earning three league losses, Kansas’ win Monday night locked up the regular season title and #1 seed in the Big 12 tourney.

McCoy and Shipley Take On Reesing

With a win Saturday against Kansas, or next Thursday against rival Texas A&M, Texas wraps up the Big 12 South title and will face the winner of this week’s Nebraska / Kansas State game in the Big 12 championship.

Kansas is in turmoil both on the field and off. The Jayhawks have lost five straight and only once this season have held an opponent to less than 30 points. Former players are speaking out against uncomfortably named head coach Mark Mangino’s (real close to mangina, like vagina) verbal abuse.

The Longhorns are on a roll and Colt McCoy has the next four games to make a statement for the Heisman Trophy. McCoy’s roommate and fellow hottie Jordan Shipley will return to kickoff duties this week following the suspension of D.J. Monroe. I expect Texas to roll and possibly cover as 28-point favorites.

It’s a night game which gives us gay sports fans a much better look at Colt McCoy’s ass through those Texas football pants. And while Colt’s bubble butt looks mighty meaty, don’t forget to get a look at Jordan Shipley’s muscular ass as well. I don’t know which one I prefer more?

Butt my favorite hottie in this game may just be Kansas quarterback Tood Reesing, seen here boozing it up Jay Cutler style.

College Hoops Preseason Top 25

The Kansas Jayhawks are #1 in the AP Preseason Top 25 for only the second time in their storied history. With so much talent returning, the big question isn’t whether they will make it to the Final Four but how many Jayhawks will be out for work release in time for the NCAA tournament.

During the off season the Jayhawks did their best West Side Story re-enactment as they battled the football team over turf in Lawrence, KS. Really, I’m not making this shit up here. Have you ever been to Kansas? It’s not like there’s a shortage of land. It’s really all they got, land, corn and great college basketball. Kansas is such a bad place to live that even Kansas City moved to MIssouri.

As my preacher used to tell me before our massage, ‘idle hands are the devils work shop’, so now that the season is fast approaching I would expect Coach Self to keep the boys off of the mean streets of Lawrence.

Overrated
How can a team lose Tyler Hansborough, Danny Green and Ty Lawson and be ranked #4 before playing a game? Sorry Heels and my Husband, you are my team, but this ranking is based on tradition not logic.

Kentucky at #5? I know they had a great recruiting class but aren’t you expected to prove something other than an NIT bid from the previous year to get ranked this high in the preseason? Let’s play switch the jerseys and you tell me the outcome of this scenario; a non-basketball power house, like Auburn, goes to the NIT, lands all of the same recruits as Kentucky, plus John Calipari, do you think Auburn would be ranked #5 in the preseason poll?

Preseason Prediction

Michigan State's Tom Izzo

Michigan State's Tom Izzo

Not really going out on a limb here but I remember Michigan State giving North Carolina fits last year and this is essentially the same team from 2008-09 minus Goran Suton. In my humble opinion, Tom Izzo is the most underrated coach in all of sports. Look for Sparty to cut down the nets in Indy this March.

Top 25 College Football Hottie Preview #11 Jake Sharp

jake_sharp5Senior running back Jake Sharp wears number 1 for the Kansas Jayhawks and from the looks of his body it also appears to be the number most closely associated with his body fat percentage. At 5-10 195 lbs Sharp hails from Salina, Kan. (Central HS) which is the flattest part of the country out in the middle of nowheresville.

Sharp has been a part of what must be considered the glory days of Kansas football. Kansas has been playing football since 1890 but has appeared in only 12 bowl games. Four bowl appearances have occurred since Mark Mangino, former Oklahoma assistant coach, took over the program in 2002.

Expectations are running high in Lawrence as the Jayhawks return starting QB Todd Reesing and are playing in the less powerful Big 12 North. Expect Sharp and Reesing to lead the Jayhawks to their third straight bowl appearance in 2009.
