KU catches a pass, gets striped from the side, ball bounces straight up to LTech defender who muffs it and it gets caught by KU #80. Is that two turnovers?

Like the Royals promo says, “The other team had to fly in on a jet; you just have to get to the K.”

… which kinda pisses me off, when “Just getting to the K” involves a 3.5-hour drive and $80 of gas. At least, that’s from here in Omaha. How about you?

I coached against Mangino's son.

He went to Washburn. I think he was a catcher. Mangino came to the game and went off on the umpires. It was slightly embarrassing because he was making a fool of himself. He then proceeded to drop his nachos on his shirt. I felt really bad for the guy.

I did manage to say hello and that I thought he’d done a good job with his program before he left though. Didn’t say much. Said thanks.

bravo!

I agree! He’s been refocusing lately on his fastball. When you work off of that, you get great results when you have decent stuff. He does have one of the best curves in the AL though when it’s on.

Check his swing, but the ball clearly hit the bat. The ump must be blind; it deflected at least 30 degrees.
