THE MORNING BREW College football kicks off
This past weekend was the start of everyone's favorite season: college football. The warm, sunny days
of taliating are back. The cheering of the fans, the whistle blows by the refs and the screaming from the coaches fill football stadiums around the nation. Although our Jayhawks had the week off, we were not disappointed at all by the games that were played.
Of course the biggest story heading into the weekend was the half-game suspension of Johnny Manziel. Only a half-game suspension? Yes, you read that correctly. The NCAA is full of idiots who can't make up their minds. If you're going to suspend him, do it for at least one game, or don't do it at all. When he was able to play again in the second half, he helped ignite Texas A&M to a 52-31 win over Rice, who played a pretty good game. Manziel loves getting attention and during the game he did some taunts, for example, rubbing his
fingers together to gesture money and also air-writing his autograph. Some people like him and some don't. I belong with the dislike crowd. I never have been a fan of his and never will be. After watching all of the football games, I don't think Manziel was the biggest story of Saturday.
Did anyone watch the game between Clemson and Georgia? No, eight versus No, five, respectively. That game was a blast to watch and was a great way to kick
off the college football season. Clemson ended up beating Georgia 38-35, and although they are both ranked top 10, the Clemson fans still decided to rush the field. Why would they do that? That's very unusual and wasn't necessary at all. Who cares what the fans do, right? Let them have their fun. If you haven't seen the introduction of Clemson's football players into the stadium, you need to go watch it. It is very chilling and deserves some recognition.
emming into football. There will always be upsets in college football. That's what makes the game great. There were two upsets in the top 25. No. 19 Boise State was crushed by Washington 38-6. Also, number 25 Oregon State just barely lost to Eastern Washington 49-46. Tough losses for both teams. Although this next upset didn't happen in the top 25, we must stand up and apllaud Kansas State for losing to North Dakota State 24 -21. You know what the best part about that is?
Kansas State lost at home. I have a
feeling that locker room after the game wasn't in the best of moods.
feeling thatocker rounds into the game wasn't in the best of moods. With the first week of college football over, we are starting to see how each team plays. I'm excited for the Jayhawks' season to start and it will take time, but just go with it. Who knows, maybe our Hawks can turn it around this year.

Big 12 teams suffer two losses to lower-division opponents
Nationwide, there were eight FCS teams that beat FBS opponents. That was twice as many upsets as the opening week of 2012.
NO SCHEDULED EVENTS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Big 12 is 0-2 against the Missouri Valley Conference, and it took a late touchdown by West Virginia to avoid another opening-weekend loss to an FCS team.
"It will grab your attention. Luckily, we were able to get tested and be able to overcome that," said
That's the story of the opening week of the season, is who gets beat by somebody they shouldn't," Texas coach Mack Brown said Monday. "There's always a couple, and this year there were a lot more than that."
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, whose team escaped with a 24-17 win over William & Mary. "At the end of the year, it really doesn't matter what the score was. It's about getting the wins."
But that's not supposed to happen to a league like the Big 12, which going into this season was 103-3 against non-FBS teams. The conference in its 18th season almost matched that loss total in one weekend.
Defending co-Big 12 champion Kansas State failed to do against two-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State, then Iowa State lost to Northern Iowa. (Baylor beat Wofford 69-3 in its FCS match).
The only other FBS leagues with
two losses to lower the teams to the American Athletic Conference (former Big East) and Sun Belt. The Sun Belt losers were South Alabama, in its first season as a full-fledged FBS team, and Georgia State, a team still making that transition.
Not exactly the company the Big 12 wants to be in when the goal is break the SEC's string of seven consecutive national championships.
"It's all about the final product
and how we finish the year, not how we start the year," Holgorsen said. "There's going to be a lot of positive things happen in the Big 12, there's going to be a lot of great games to be played, and at the end of the year, we'll see how we stack up."
Big 12 teams have three more games against FCS teams this week, including Kansas playing South Dakota in its season opener. Texas Tech plays coach Kliff Kingsbury's home debut against
Stephen F. Austin, and TCU hosts Southeastern Louisiana.
West Virginia goes to Oklahoma for the first game this season that counts in the Big 12 standings. The Sooners and Texas don't play any FCS opponents this year.
"There's always talk in the first week or the second week about who's the best conference," Brown said. "I think you need to look at the end of the season at the body of work."
