Ladies and Gentlemen: Morning Brew List Mania
Last week, my friend and boss, Matt Erickson, mentioned how Kansas City Star columnist Joe Posnanski used to make list columns every couple weeks in his first year on the job. I had no idea. So I looked some up in the archives. I liked them.
And it got me to thinking. I should do one. And second, you readers are probably smarter and cleverer than I am. So, send a list to morningbrew@kansan.com if you have a cool idea. If it's the best one of the week, The Morning Brew will publish it.
Now, in honor of Posnanski,
here is the first-ever Morning Brew
Three goals for KU football against Texas
List Mania.
2. Have Mark Mangino talk about three letters after the game, the B . . . C . . . S
1. Not give up 52 points in the first half

Three shows that are still better to watch than early-season NBA
Interlude: So get this. While searching for TV shows on Google, I stumbled across an old show called "The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer." It was on UPN 10 years ago and was a comedy about a black British man who became Abe Lincoln's butler. It made fun of slavery. It was definitely not better than early season NBA.
Four things George W. Bush will do until Barack Obama takes over
2. Golf
1. Nap
4. Count down the days until Garrison Keillor no longer calls him the Current Occupant.
1. If Bush naps, plays golf and just follows his advisers the next two months, will it be any different than the last eight years?
3. Let Dick Cheney do everything.
Questions
2. Wouldn't it be nice if somehow Angel Goodrich's knee healed?
3. Whatever happened to Free Coffee Mondays at McDonalds?
4. How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work?
5. Can Tyrel Reed shoot like he did last week every game?
6. If T.I. could give you whatever you like, what would you like?

KICK THE KANSAN: RESULTS
The Kick the Kansan season is winding down. Don't forget to send in your picks to KicktheKansan@kansan.com.
There aren't many things more exciting than a three-way tie. Well, ok, that may be an exaggeration.
But this past weekend, Kick the Kansan found itself with a three-way tie at the top.
Justin Anderson, Laurel,
Neb. senior, Dan Holmes,
Olathe senior, and Max Wescoe,
San Diego junior, shared
the Week 10 Kick the Kansan
crown. Anderson, a Nebraska
native, correctly predicted
that Kansas would fall to Nebraska, while Holmes and Wescoe looked smart in picking Utah to stay unbeaten against TCU. Kansan Design Chief Drew Bergman paced The Kansan Staff by finishing 6-4. Of course, Bergman looked foolish in picking Notre Dame to beat Boston College. As we head into Week 11 of Kick the Kansan, there's also a three-way tie for first at the top of the staff
standings. Bergman, Kansan basketball reporter Case Keefer and Associate Sports Editor Andrew Wiebe are knotted up at 68-32, while Kansan football writer B.J. Rains and Managing Editor Dani Hurst are bringing up the rear at 51-49.
