KU'S FOOTBALL TEAM REACHES A MILESTONE
Mark Mangino has truly reached a landmark, and we are not talking about critical mass. If he had, there would have been an evacuation order for most of the metropolitan Lawrence, Kansas area. However, Mangino has already come close to this several times, and no one besides Raimond Pendleton was seriously injured.
The landmark we're discussing is Mangino's greatest accomplishment as head coach: making a Kansas football team capable of beating up the Kansas basketball team.
A source said several people witnessed a skirmish between members of the KU football team and basketball team. The identities of the other players involved were not known as of Tuesday night.
KU basketball player Tyshawn Taylor suffered a dislocated left thumb in the incident, and will be out three to four weeks during the injury. The fight was a two-stager, and started at around 6 p.m., and then again at 10:30 p.m. because you finish the drill like a champion, son. The second stage of the fight involved around 20 people milling around menacingly in the parking lot of a dormitory, further proof that if where there is one determined idiot, there are at least 20 dumber people who will follow.
If only Todd Reesing and his amazing American flag jacket had been there, none of this would have happened.
Taylor, Mr. Dislocated Left Thumb, also left the following messages on his Facebook account:
"I got a dislocated finger ..from throwing a punch ..so don’t let the news paper gas yall up aite," Taylor wrote.
Minutes earlier, around midnight, he wrote: "real (racial slur)s do real things .. point plankn."
His earlier posts indicate there may have been escalating tension.
"keep my name out ya’ mouth for you get smacked in it," he wrote at 11:12 a.m. Tuesday, and 30 minutes later he posted, "never get outta character .. I’m always a G about it."
About 4 p.m., Taylor posted, "(racial slur)s be muggin me ..you know I’m mugging back."
The irony? We left these same updates on our facebook account just minutes before. QUIT BITING OUR THUG STYLE, BASKETBALL MAN. In summary, Kansas' football program is going to win the Big 12 this year.
UPDATE: And again this morning. The drill, it seems, is ongoing.

This article was hard to read before the jump. Why? Because Axe ads were covering it up and not going away when clicked. Just FYI.
Also. Hee hee hee, Mark Mangino is fat. There’s nothing you can eat that’s like beef tongue.

Mangino may be more fat than Weis (sp?) but he looks way cooler with the shades and jacket. Weis looks like a fat retarded lesbian at times with the tucked in polo (FUPA!) and buzz cut.
Cal plays Nike U this weekend. Just FYI

On second thought I should not have said (typed) the above statement about Weis. I know he has a daughter with special needs so I feel like a prick for saying that about him. Sorry.

If you’re a basketball player why on earth do you pick a fight with the football team? Okay so you beat the shit out of that pussy QB, but then you get home and find the offensive line would like to exchange “words” with you. No way can you win that, even with the other point guards backing you up.

These quotes from Taylor’s facebook are f-ing great. Any of them are worthy of a sign at College GameDay….assuming KU ever gets one. Aite?

The only winner in this is Southern Miss football, who is quietly rooting on the Jayhawk basketball team.

“point plankn”
What is this supposed to mean? My ability to read poor typing and/or ebonics is failing me. Is it:
- Point Blank
- Point Plankton
- Point Plinko
- Point Plan, k?
HELP ME UNDERSTAND!!!

Maybe I’m a touch optimistic, but I expect my friends to be able to get laid without my having to fight anyone.
Favorite picture (Brett Ballard looking anxiously for someone of greater authority to lend him a hand.)
Moving pictures of basketball players getting in a white van.

- - Jayhawks hoops fans cannot be happy about this. They obviously have a very stupid team. Although Philadelphia’s own Morris twins are probably as big as anyone on the football team.

Even better than Brett Ballard was Brennan Bechard driving the getaway van.

Yes, but I figured even a Brett Ballard reference was pushing it.

Nothing involving Brett Ballard is pushing it…if only Boschee was around.

You can either recruit from the heartland and hope for another Danny and the Miracles, or you can recruit in Philly and win titles.

Mangino is tapping the player’s chest at the end of the video to test for ripeness before ingesting….mmmmmm

FWIW, all of Taylor’s posts are rap lyrics, not things he came up with himself. Except the part about him dislocating his thumb (anybody else stunned that a kid from Jersey City doesn’t know how to throw a punch?), or course.

Tailgate Shogun, that is BY FAR the funniest post I have EVER seen. I had just read it when the front desk buzzed me to advise that my next appointment had arrived. I couldn’t go get him for a couple of minutes because I was laughing so much. Well done, Man!

The only way the KU basketball team can win this is if ron artest has some elgibility left

Man o manochevitz, did you guys read some of the comments? I had no idea KU and MIZZU hated each other with
the white hot hate. Glad we don’t do that kinda crap in the essseeeeeceeeee.

Fortunately for the KU football team, they were in Kansas. I can tell you that the price of muggin is death in the Piney Woods section of Mississippi. As in “motherfucker was mean-mugging me. I HAD to kill him. Man, I hate these pine trees.” The price of mean mugging also moves up with proximity to any Double Quick in a river county.
