A deeper look at unbeaten Missouri ahead of Saturday's latest edition of the Border War rivalry vs. Kansas

There’s been a recent push — it seems mostly from Missouri fans — for the unbeaten Missouri Tigers to be ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 men’s basketball poll. This week, Mizzou picked up two votes in the poll, which means two voters had them 25th or one voter had them 24th. So, it’s clear they’re closing in on cracking the poll for the first time in a while. And it’s possible that a win on ...

List of Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year finalists did not include KU's Leipold; surprising or expected?

The Football Writers Association of America released the eight coaches chosen as finalists for this year’s Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award, and Kansas coach Lance Leipold did not make the cut. There are probably a number of valid reasons why Leipold, who led KU to a 6-6 season and back to a bowl game for the first time in 14 years in just his second season with the program, was not chosen as a ...

This year, more than ever, Goff was glad he did not have to be a part of any of the hirings or firings taking place. He already had his guy in second-year KU coach Lance Leipold, and he was determined to make sure that ...

6th-ranked Kansas basketball happy to use week between games to its advantage on the practice floor

After playing five games in a nine-day stretch, the Kansas men’s basketball team finally got a chance to catch its breath after the Jayhawks’ recent win over Seton Hall. That game, a 91-65 KU victory, was the fifth game in that stretch that featured a pair of games at home the week after the Jayhawks played three games in three days after traveling to the Bahamas. While that kind of workload is a lot by ...

Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman calls Lance Leipold's turnaround at Kansas 'unbelievable'

Smack dab in the middle of a coaching career that began in 1984 and is alive and well today at the University of Arkansas, Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman spent one season coaching the offensive line at Kansas. The Jayhawks went 3-8 that season, Terry Allen’s last in charge of the program, and Pittman left after the season. But he was in and around Lawrence long enough to understand the challenges that Kansas ...
