"If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother."
Bo Jackson, former NFL running back
sports trivia of the day
Kansas Football has never finished higher than fourth in the Big 12 North during the league's 11 year history.
Q: When did former KU quarterback Bill Whittemore make his debut as a Jayhawk?
A: Aug. 31, 2002 at Iowa State in the season opener, the same day coach Mark Mangino debuted. Whittemore showed promise for the future when he came off the bench for an ineffective Zach Dyer, but Kansas lost 45-3.
