Border Showdown becomes team's cgoble@kansan.com BY CLARK GOBLE AUSTIN, Texas — Seniors Justin Thornton and Todd Reeing both said they thought Saturday was the first time they had been flat-out beaten this season. Coach Mark Mangino told the team after its 51-20 loss to Texas to shift its focus to this week's game against Missouri even quicker than most weeks. Mangino said his focus would shift as soon as he walked out of the postgame press conference. Thornton said the team wouldn't dwell on the loss. "We're not going to really spend too much time on this game at all," Thornton said. "We're going to go straight to Missouri because that's our biggest task and most important thing we have going right now." Former Kansas coach Don Fambrough, "We're not going to really spend too much time on this game at all." known for his riveting pregame speeches given before the Missouri game every year, was pacing the sidelines all last week during practice. Mangino even asked Equipment Manager Jeff Himes whether Fambrough knew that the team was playing Texas on Saturday and not Missouri. "He has his Missouri game face on a week early," Mangino said. "And you can tell when you're getting ready to play Missouri. He's got his hands behind his back and he walks around the field about 90 miles an hour. When he talks, he talks so fast, you don't know what the heck he's saving." Thornton said that the team could salvage some of its season with a victory against its border rival. "This is a lot more than a regular Big 12 season game; it's bigger than a regular conference game for us," Thornton said. "Right now, it's the most important game of our season. Every week up to this has been the most important game, but this is our last chance to pick up a win and become bowl eligible." Reesing said that people would bring up last year's thrilling comeback victory but that the team wouldn't reminisce too much. "For us, it's a chance to end the streak we've been on and get bowl eligible," Reesing said. "We'd like nothing better than to beat Missouri."
