Dear Mr Mangino,
I'd like to apologize for taking the players side. I think a temper is important for people to have. I remember the good ole days.... The Orange Bowl in 2007... The best four year run in our 100 year history... things that may never happen again.
We had always been a basketball school and I foolishly thought that we could catch lighting in a bottle. I thought any coach could do what you did.

Taken for Kansas' website:
Kansas football suffered a 59-7 set back at the hands of in-state rival Kansas State at Memorial Stadium here Thursday evening.
A set back? Really?

Its a basketball school and I'm assuming they are ok with losing at football.

Just in case you missed it, Duke is ranked #1 in the preseason polls and got Doc Rivers kid to sign with them.Interesting thing in regards to that...I read an article about the recruiting process and Doc said he goes on a golf trip with Roy Williams every year.How fucking pathetic is it that the head coach of the university of North Carolina can't land a kid who you are personal friends with their family?Good god K is the shit.

And he recruited him while he was coaching in the world championships. I may be wrong, but I don't think unc was on his list. I think it was ku, duke, Florida, and uk. Could be wrong. The greatest 5 months of sports are just around the corner. I'm gonna need to buy new sweat pants after my enraged college basktball loving erection rips through every pair I own. Pre season final four. Michigan state, duke, Kansas, and... Wait for it...Kansas state.

Part of the story was how Roy went to Doc's house in a suit for a visit and Doc couldnt stop laughing because it was his golf buddy acting all official.Of course Carolina never had a chance.It's become a school where your sole basis of recruits is people who can't believe they got into North Carolina to play ball.The only thing keeping that school in the top 10 nationally is because Jordan went there.Living off that prestige gets you a certain type of player whos not hardcore.Roys turned it into what Kansas used to be.
My only prediction right now besides Duke winning back to back is this is the year the luster starts to fade on Jay Wright.He's done so little with so much the last 5 years its going to catch up to him if he shits the bed again this year.I have zero faith in him.

Austin was the #1 prospect on Rivals... How huge is that? Did you see the other Plumlee signed as well? Another near 7' white boy at center... They also landed Tyler Adams out of Brandon, Mississippi.. my grandmothers hometown. He was being recruited by Georgetown and Miss State.. he made the right choice. I do think he's a bit short at center though (6' 8")

You act like #1 recruits are a huge deal. All they turn out to be are one and doners. Granted Josh Selby is a #1 recruit for Kansas this year, but I'd much rather have a group of guys like the Morris twins, Cole Aldrich, Mario chalmers, Nolan, Singler...guys that love the college game for what it is, not the next step the NBA. I hate the one year of college rules. It is ruining recruiting. They are eliminating the July recruiting period because of this exact reason. Let the18 year old go play for pay. If he is undrafted, too bad.

I think Austin stays a couple of years don't you?
After seeing Coach K do some of his best work the last 3 years.. .would you admit now that only John Wooden is better?

Didnt Duke just have a bunch of #1 recruits stay on when they could have entered the draft and ended up winning a national title?Duke gets #'1's that K knows arent shit birds and can mold into his image.The only two who werent that I regret Duke recruiting were Luol Deng and Maggete.
K is the greatest coach of all time.Its harder to win now then it was during Woodens era when half the country wasnt recruiting blacks.

I just can't compare the two eras and say that. I can say that K is the best coach in the modern day. I can say that not only does coach K get the most out of his college talent, but he can get the most out of his pro talent. I can say that he will be spoken of favorably after all is said and done. Only a true K hater would not give him the credit he deserves.
