Whittemore still believes in Kansas By Jason King The Kansas City Star
In many ways Whittemore is Kansas' Little Engine That Could, the catalyst trying to chug the Jayhawks up a hill that many believe they'll never conquer.
At times Bill Whittemore has felt as wanted as a father-in-law on a honeymoon. But, somehow, he's persevered. That's why it almost seems fitting that Whittemore is the one calling signals for KU, a team for which no one has much hope.
"It'll take time, that's for sure," Whittemore says. He leans back in a chair, crosses his arms and flashes a self-assured smirk. "But don't worry. We'll get there eventually."
Suddenly, you almost can't help but believe him.
Reid named No.1 at outside linebacker By David Mitchell Insurance World
Lawrence Journal-World
Nick Reid has gone from red-shirt quarterback candidate to backup safety to starting linebacker in a matter of weeks.
The freshman from Derby, who changed positions twice during the preseason, was listed No.1 at outside linebacker on the football depth chart Kansas University released Tuesday.
"Nick Reid is out there playing nearly every snap," said coach Mark Mangino, who has nine freshmen on his two-deep list.
Reid has made the most of his playing time, making 10 tackles in three games. He was forced into duty during the season opener at Iowa State when sophomore starter Banks Floodman suffered a season-ending knee injury. Junior backup Glenn Robinson was suspended for that game for unspecified disciplinary reasons.
Mangino not done with fine-tuning By Ric Anderson
By Ric Anderson
The Topeka Capital-Journal
It has taken nine months and three football games,but Kansas coach Mark Mangino is beginning to believe the Jayhawks' pieces are in the right places.
Since Mangino came on board in December, KU's lineup has been a chessboard of position changes. If Mangino wasn't moving Royal Valley product Justin Henry from tight end to center and then to right guard, he was shuffling sophomore Leo Bookman from defensive back to wide receiver and making the reverse switch with redshirt freshman Greg Heaggans.
And while he hasn't completely finished his fine-tuning. Mangino said fans can expect to see less switching as the season progresses.
"I would anticipate there will be fewer of those kind of moves," Mangino said. "But I would never rule it out."
Bowling Green to face Kansas, familiar turf By Joel Hammond
BG News, student newspaper of Bowling Green State University
Heading into Saturday's game against the Kansas Jayhawks, the Bowling Green football team is facing a team they are quite familiar with.
Not because they have played KU before — they haven't; this is the first meeting between the two schools.
Familiar with the Jayhawks because, in their first year under new head coach Mark Mangino, the team is quite similar to the Falcons of a year ago. The record of this Jayhawk team isn't the same as BG's a year ago after three games, as they have struggled and enter the game at 1-2. The 2001 Falcons and 2002 Jayhawks have similar make-up on the field, though.
"Kansas is exactly like we were a year ago," Meyer said. "They do a multitude of things on offense and defense. They made a quarterback change last week, to an athletic (junior college) quarterback, who runs around and is a real tough player. Their tailback is a fast redshirt freshman, and they have probably the best kick returner we'll see this year."
Punter Ansel enjoys storybook season By Rick Plumlee
The Wichita Eagle
Kansas' Curtis Ansel is having a season that punters dream about. Not to mention their coaches.
The senior from Lakin has already nailed an 82-yarder, tying for the third longest in school history. He has put six punts inside the 20, including three in last week's victory over Southwest Missouri State.
"I wouldn't trade him for any punter in America right now," KU coach Mark Mangino said Tuesday.
