To hear Mizzou football coach Gary Pinkel talk about his team's homecoming game, one might think the Tigers were preparing for a New Year's Day bowl. It's the most important game on our schedule every year," Pitkel said Monday during the Big 12 teleconference. "We all understand the importance and magnitude of this game." That importance isn't undermined by the fact that both teams are不露 in league play. "I don't think that matters at all," Pinkel said. "I think it makes the game that much more important. They're rebuilding. We're building, but this games stands out on our schedule more than any other game we'll play. It always will, regardless of whether the program is built or building." Kansas tailback needs to step up to take pressure off of Whittenmore By Ric Anderson Topeka Capital-Journal To keep Bill Whittemore's body from becoming even more black and blue, Kansas needs to add some Green to the mix. A shade of Clark Green, to be exact. Kansas coach Mark Mangino acknowledged Tuesday that Whittemore, KU's leading rusher, was showing the effects of his team-high 129 carries and that the Jayhawks want more production from Green, a red-shirt freshman tailback, and other ballcarriers. "I'm not going to lie to you, Bill's banged up a little bit," Mangino said. "He's sore. He's been going since Aug. 9 and he's been getting after it pretty good. That's why ... we've got to get the tailback run game going. We've just got to. Because in the long run, Bill can help us as a passer. That’s his thing." Mangino retains positive attitude despite low rating in Big 12 play By Jason King The Kansas City Star They've been beaten like pinatas and humiliated everywhere from Lawrence to Las Vegas. Heck, the Kansas football team even lost to Baylor. Still, after each and every defeat, the Jayhawks have found there's a place they can always take comfort—a place where they won't be belittled. Their own locker room. There are no dents in the doors, no overturned trash cans or soda machines. Despite his squad's 2-6 record, head coach Mark Mangino has stayed as cheery as Mr. Rogers as he tries to rebuild a program now regarded as the Big 12's worst. Save last month's loss to Bowling Green, and Mangino hasn't thrown any barbs toward his players, much less chairs or clipboards. He knows his cliche-ridden, "We-tried-our-hardest" speeches — both to the team and to the media — may shock the KU partisans who expect him to be harder on the Jayhawks. Missouri's Abron still recovering from knee injury; shaky as starter Bv Corv Matteson "It's probably a game-time decision," Abron said. The Columbia Missourian "It's probably a game-time decision," Abron said. He partially tore his left posterior collateral ligament at Texas Tech. Missouri's depth chart lists Zack Abron as the No.1 tailback for Saturday's homecoming game against Kansas. That's not what he said. He injured the knee on a second-quarter draw play for 14 yards, landing hard after the tackle. "My knee felt a little tight," Abron said. "I was trying to stretch it out. I told one of the members on the training staff that my knee felt a little tight and it didn't feel right." kansan.com The student newspaper of the University of Kansas get in touch with KU Try the Iced Morrocan!
