THE MORNING BREW Football in Kansas on the rise, McLemore off to a hot start
This past weekend was rough for football fans in Kansas: The Jayhawks lost to the Iowa State Cyclones in a blowout on Senior Day, Kansas State lost its chance at a perfect season and likely a trip to the National Championship game and the Chiefs continued their historically bad season with a 28-6 loss at home.
Still there is great reason for optimism, at least for the college football fans in Kansas.
In Lawrence, Charlie Weis' Jayhawks have seen drastic improvements from last season despite winning fewer games. With another year to assemble a team and get to know his players, Weis should be in a position to make Kansas relevant again in the Big 12.
Even this season, it felt like Kansas was less of a pushover and an easy win for many opponents. Walking to the game against Iowa State on Saturday night, a Cyclones fan told me he was nervous for the game and thought the Jayhawks could give them trouble. This is not something you would have heard a year ago.
In Manhattan, Bill Snyder has built an elite program that could find itself in position to
compete for a National Championship again in the near future. The Wildcats will be able to contend with Texas and Oklahoma to win Big 12 championships and recruit top talent away from the Sooners and Longhorns.
The Chiefs are still a mess, but college football in Kansas is on the rise, and should make football season more bearable in Kan-
This year's basketball season is off to a start very reminiscent of last year's.The offense has been sluggish at times, and turnovers have made layhawk fans uneasy in the first three games of the regular season.
MCLEMORE JAYHAWK MVP SO FAR
The Jayhawks are 2-1 with their loss coming against a strong Michigan State Spartans team in Atlanta at the Champions Classic, the same tournament where Kansas lost to Kentucky last year.
In the two victories for Kansas, fans at Allen Fieldhouse groaned as they watched sloppy play and limited half court offense for much of the first half of both games. But in the end, Kansas was able to pull away thanks in large part to red shirt freshman Ben McLemore.
McLemore scored 2.5 points for the Jayhawks with 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the victory over Chattanooga Thursday. McLemore showcased his explosive speed and leaping ability on several alley-oop dunks along with his shooting prowess as he was able to knock down open jump shots from range.
McLemore improved in each game as he scored nine points in the opener against Southeast Missouri State, and 14 against
Michigan State, before exploding for 25 points against Chattanooga.
On top of his scoring ability, McLemore has shown he is a multidimensional player, as he is averaging over seven rebounds and three assists per game. Expect McLemore to be the focal point of Bill Self's offense during end-of-game situations all season long.

Chiefs bury themselves again, lose to Bengals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It was almost like a funeral, night down to the fans wearing black.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Anerie silence descended over Arrowhead Stadium midway through the second half Sunday, when the Kansas City Chiefs were well on their way to their seventh straight defeat.
Cincinnati certainly played its part in casting the pall over the venue, stuffing the Chiefs' hept offense and shredding their
defense in a 28-6 victory that got the Bengals back into playoff contention while prolonging the misery in Kansas City at least one more week.
"We aren't babies. We know that when we aren't winning, fans are going to get mad," Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers said. "We've got to find a way to get this thing turned around."
They've been trying in vain for weeks.
Andy Dalton threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, A.J. Green caught
six passes for 91 yards and a score, and Ben]arvus Green-Ellis had 101 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals (5-5) won their second straight following their own four-game losing streak.
Mohamed Sanu also had a touchdown catch as the Bengals (5-5), suddenly back in the post-season hunt, prepare to play four straight against teams that began the day with losing records.
None of them is as bad as the Chiefs, though.
Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing for Kansas City (1-9).
but that was the only highlight for a team whose lone victory this year required a franchise-record 18-point comeback.
The Chiefs' once-raucous home was only about half-full most of the game, and a good portion of those who showed up were dressed in black — a grass roots effort organized by angry fans who were "mourning" another lost season in an attempt to pressure team ownership to make changes.
Once again, an airplane towed a banner calling for general manager Scott Pioli to be fired.
"Everyone in this building is frustrated. We don't want to go out and perform like that," said Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel, who was benched at halftime in favor of Brady Quinn. "We don't want to lose like that. We want to go out and compete and win games."
The Chiefs' performance on the field wasn't much different than the rest of the year, though, and now the injuries are piling up. Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe hurt his neck and right tackle Branden
Albert hurt his back, and coach Romeo Crennel said he's not sure of the status of either one. As if the Bengals weren't just fine when the Chiefs had their full complement of players.
"We knew this was going to be a grind," Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said, though it seemed more like a walk in the park to the scattered groups of fans watching from the stands.
"We wanted to jump on them early, and being aggressive was what we needed to do," Dalton said.
