Transplanted Tiger wants fan support
This is my first year as a Kansas Jayhawk, having attended the University of Missouri in Columbia for the last five years. I cannot deny that I am amazed at the success of the Kansas football team this season. However, one thing is undeniable: This team is for real. The only thing that remains "unreal" is fan support for the team.
Take this past Saturday. By previous standards, a homecoming crowd of 43,000 looks pretty good. However, this team was different — undefeated and ranked in the nation's top 10. There was no excuse for the fact that this game was not a sellout. Admittedly, the Nebraska game sold out a month in advance, but I think it is safe to say that much of the red in the crowd will not be in support of the Jahwhaws.
I confess that I never expected to be a true fan of Kansas, having deep roots as a Missouri Tiger. However, I now find myself behind this team all the way. I hope the rest of the Jayhawk supporters will do the same.
Also, where is the noise in Kansas Memorial Stadium? As embarrassed as I am of Missouri football, I can attest to hearing crowds at Columbia's Faurot Field that were louder than what I heard cheering for Kansas on Saturday. This is from a Tiger team that did not win a single home game last year and self-destructed this year against Bowling Green.

NHL's Canadiens fire top personnel
The Associated Press
MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens have four more firings than they have victories this season.
Club president Ronald Carey cleared out his top hockey personnel in a broad swoop on Tuesday, axing general manager Serge Savard and assigning coach Jacques Demers to an unspecified front-office job.
"I had to make changes because I didn't like what I saw," said Corey, whose team has a 0-4 start after missing the playoffs last spring for the first time in 25 years. "Now I'll have to work in a short period of time. It's tough to do in a couple of days, but for sure, I have some people in mind."
Assistant coaches Steve Shutt, Jacques Laperriere and Charles Thiffault will operate the team until new management is in place.
Assistant general manager Andre Boudrias and professional scout Carol Vadnais also were released so that the new general manager could hire his own top aides.
Corey gave no indication of who his new general manager or coach will be but specified both would need to be bilingual in Montreal's mostly French-speaking market.
The early betting is on Pierre Gauthier, assistant to Jack Ferreira, general manager of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks and former scouting director for the Quebec Nordiques.
Gauthier, 42, is considered one of hockey's brightest managerial prospects, and he also is French-Canadian.
Fereira told the Montreal Gazette that Gauthier would be the perfect choice to succeed Savard.
Corey said he considered swinging the axe last May, but was persuaded to wait and see how the team fared with players obtained in late-season trades.
"He's bilingual, and Montreal's his home town," Ferreira said. "He wouldn't be intimidated."
"People say it's too early, but it's not just these four games," Corey said. "Since we won the Cup in 1993, the team has gone down. I had to make a decision."
Corey denied speculation that the changes were ordered by the Canadians' owners, the Molson Companies, who have invested about $200 million in a new 21,361-seat arena due to open in March.
"Sure, when you go into a new building, you want to win, but we have that pressure every year," Corey said.
Savard, a former Canadiens defenseman hired by Corey in 1983, was among the NHL's senior general managers. He built a team that won Stanley Cups in 1986 and 1993 and reached the finals in 1989.
Savard was unavailable for comment.
Even those closest to the team were shocked that Corey would make a move so early in the season, although fans have been calling for change since last spring.
"I never saw it coming," he said. "I always dreamed of coaching the Canadiens, and I got my chance."
Demers, who coached the Canadiens to their 1993 Stanley Cup in his first year with the team, was surprised by the moves.

Fans had been upset by last season's trades of crowd favorites John LeClair, Eric DesJardins and team captain Kirk Muller.
