Here is the text of a letter written by KU football coach Mark Mangino and distributed the KU media relations office:

Dear KU Fans:

On behalf of the football coaching staff, and, more importantly, the members of the KU football team, we want to thank you for your terrific support last Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. You were certainly at the top of your game!

We want you to know how much we appreciate your hanging in there through the rainstorm to cheer on your Jayhawks. That’s the kind of spirit that will help get us where we want to be as a football team! We also want you to know that our players and coaches are working very hard to reward your support with winning football. We have no doubt that WITH YOUR HELP our efforts will pay off soon.

Again, thank you very much for showing what great fans you are! We look forward to seeing you at the UNLV game Saturday — in much better weather!

Sincerely,

Mark Mangino

Head Football Coach

University of Kansas
