When did KU play its first football season? n is now workbooks rhap- Rhap- This is His suave maule, you thrase, umped hard- kuathletics.com Tribune THE MORNING BREW Jayhawks could have best athletic program Summer break is fast approaching, along with all its warm, pleasant connotations: beaches, cookouts, baseball and good times with friends. But if you are a Kansas fan, student or alum, summertime might just be the preface to an altogether awesome sports year, and not the climax. After Sunday's heroes in softball, baseball and track, it struck me that athletic director Sheahon Zenger has a solid plan for each and every KU sport and that he is executing that plan to near perfection. Zenger will be counting down the days for summer to end so he can watch his hard work pay off in the fall. Just a few short years after KU Athletics (sans men's basketball) looked grim and former Athletic Director Lew Perkins' ticket-scandal sent him packing, Zenger has instilled a winning culture throughout all programs, and the entire scope of KU Athletics looks bright heading into 2013-2014 year. When Zenger took over on Jan. 3, 2011, Kansas had basketball going strong like it usually does, but was middling in the majority of its other sports and terrible in the rest. Now, it's smooth sailing throughout the entire department. Let's start with the obvious. The men's basketball team just wrapped up its ninthstraight Big 12 Championship and made its 24th consecutive NCAA tournament appearance. I don't foresee too much to fret about, especially with Bill Self locked in for 10 years. The women's basketball team seems to have found its niche, having made back to back Sweet Sixteens. Maybe Zenger is able to get more out of coach Bonnie Henrickson than Lew Perkins ever could? Maybe it's a by-product of something else? Who knows? But it's working. Women's track & field is making mincemeat of its competition. The Jayhawks are poised to win a national championship. That'll go nicely with Diamond Dixon's Olympic gold. The men's track and cross country teams have shown incremental progress in the past few years. The cross country team was ranked several times this year. After sweeping Baylor over the weekend, the baseball team is 12-9 in the Big 12, and 30-18 overall, thoroughly exceeding expectations. It will look to make the College World Series in the coming weeks. The softball team took down top-ranked Oklahoma, handing them their fourth loss on the season. It was the first time in school history that the softball team beat the No.1-ranked team in the country. The hiring of Charlie Weis was risky, but it has paid early dividends. Although the football team didn't see progress in the victories and losses column, they were clearly more competitive throughout the twelve-game season last year. If Weis had a better quarterback and defense, Kansas could have made a push for six wins. This fall, they should have both. A bowl game isn't entirely out of the question. Women's soccer recorded a 3.46 GPA, and seven other sports eclipsed the 3.0 mark. women are student-athletes (with emphasis on the student), so grades and graduation rate are also measuring sticks for Zenger. Let's remember that these men and Kansas is climbing out of its recent athletic lull very quickly. If the football team can consistently make bowl games in the next five years, Jayhawks will be able to honestly say they support one of the best athletic departments in the United States. The football team posted its highest GPA in a fall semester (2.83) since the school started keeping track of it in 1986. Rock Chalk.
