flat and gave up in the first quarter after a few penalties didn't go their way. What was the result? Another uninspired and embarrassing four quarters of play that brought back many memories of the old Terry Allen regime.
Turner Gill stands by and watches
Look, former coach Mark Mangino might not have been the nicest or fittest guy to represent our University (if you're wondering what I mean, see YouTube clip titled "Coach Mark Mangino explodes"), but I think it's safe to say in seven years at the helm of the football program, Mangino's teams laved hard and
here at Kansas. Kansas is no different than the middle-of-the-road programs they just lost to by a combined 114-14 score, and perhaps is probably a more attractive program with its close proximity to Kansas City.
It's one thing to watch a young team develop during their growing pains, it's another to have to watch a team that has not improved.
never gave up. In his first year as coach, his team finished 2-10 (0-8), the following year they were 6-7 (2-4) and made The Tangerine Bowl.
Who's to say Gill can't do the same in his second year at Kansas? I'm not, but at the same time, I am not holding my breath on this one. Even in Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's one year as football coach, his record (5-2-1) was better than Gill's will be.
It's wrong after only six games to say that Gill should be ran out of town. Afterall, he is a football coach playing with somebody else's players in a system that doesn't fit their characteristics. Gill should still be able to scheme around their weaknesses, however, and supply a game plan that can, at
the very least, keep them in ball games especially ones where the only thing at stake is pride within your own state. That seemed to fade on Thursday night.In the end, that really is the only expectation Gill had in his first season.I guess Saturday during homecoming we will see if this Kansas team finally wakes up out of the recent coma they've fallen into.Like I said earlier, I'm not willing to hold my breath on this one.

AWARENESS
Events to address domestic violence
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
"Everyone should know this information," she said.

The week's events focus on the various aspects of domestic violence ranging from awareness to prevention and violence within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to definitions of masculinity. All events are free to the public.
"The lecture series was created to demonstrate to people that this can happen to anybody," Pavicie said.
She said Mackey was the perfect example showing that it can happen to anyone. Mackey was a feminist, a law student and fought against violence against women. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one out of four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
To encourage people to stand up against domestic violence and support its victims, this week is domestic violence awareness week.
In the summer of 2008, Jana Mackey, a graduate student from Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in an act of domestic violence. Meredith Pavicic, president of the Commission on the Status of Women and a junior from Leawood, said the week's events were planned around the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series, which was established after Mackey's death. This week will focus on teaching students the various ways in which they can be affected by domestic violence.
She said a major problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about domestic violence. She said people have preconceived ideas about domestic violence victims
"This can happen to anyone," Pavicic said. "It affects so many people."
