Big 12 North #2 - Kansas


This is not your father’s Jayhawk team. Perhaps your grandfather's Jayhawk team. The last time a Jayhawk football team returned to the field after a one loss season was 1948, when they went 7-3 under Jules Sikes. Sikes followed George Sauer, who parlayed an 8-1-2 record in 1947 at KU into the HC job at Navy. (Sauer is in the College FB Hall of Fame, probably because he managed to have a winning record at Kansas AND Baylor). Even though Mangino has put his house up for sale, he returns for the 08 season. The Jayhawks have not won an outright conference championship since 1930, and these ladies are getting impatient.
