KU assistant John Cooper
One of ISU's 'dirty 30'
There will probably be some dirty thoughts running through KU assistant football coach John Coonor's mind tomorrow.
Kansas hosts Iowa State at 1:30 p.m. in Memorial Stadium and Cooper will oppose his old college coach for the first time. Memories should be plentiful.
Cooper and 29 others formed Iowa State's "dirty thirty" in 1059, ISU coach Clay Stapleton's second year in the Big Eight.
"He installed a real rough program and all but 30 players quit," Cooper recalled. "We went out to play Denver University early in the season and everyone out there said we were too small to play. "It was raining hard but we still won, 28-12."
Named by equipment man
"When we came off the field our equipment manager yelled, 'Here comes the dirty thirty'. The name just stuck after that and we went on to have a 7-3 season."
Cooper said one of the keys to their success was pride.
"We always worked hard, and we were proud that we were part of the 30 men who had not quit," be said.
"Pride can do great things."
That is something Cooper and the rest of head Coach Pepper Rodger's staff is trying to build at KU. After a series of early season defeats, the Jayhawks could easily have hung their heads and given up, but Rodgers' staff has kept the boys thinking of winning and nothing else.
"Our goal is to win the Big Eight championship," Cooper said, "and we have to win every game to do it. That includes Iowa State."
Just another game
"It's really just another game to me but if we lose I'll probably get quite a ribbing," he said.

Iowa State's offense features one of the finest flankers KU will face this year in Tom Eusch who has caught 13 passes for 216 yards and one touchdown. He is dangerous with the quick kick, aver-
The KU defense lagged slightly last week when it allowed Oklahoma State 15 points in the first quarter, but held with renewed determination for the rest of the game. The early points were all the Cowboys could score.
The defenders appear ready for another strong effort Saturday.
"We have worked hard this week," said Cooper, who coaches the defensive backs. "I think the team will play a real fine game."
