Anyone have an idea where I could find the border war documentary that was done by Metro Sports in 2008? Tried googling it but not much came up besides the trailer.

Does Mizzou have a rival now? Is there an SEC team that could become even close to what KU used to be for them? Could OU be that?

I'd love to have a big tall DE creating havoc.

Okay we are at the halfway point of the week and there are two more days of coaches being on the road.

Here are things I have tracked down and other tidbits I am hearing.

The staff was scheduled to meet Eriq Gilyard at his home in Florida today. I believe Leipold and Simpson were two of the coaches scheduled to be there. Gilyard told me he would announce on Dec. 17.

They have been showing interest and a lot of contact with Cornell OL Hunter Tourzad but I really think he is going to be a tough get. Ianello has met with him but he is a May grad. I think by the time January rolls around and some schools missed on their OL targets everybody is going to be all over him.

From what I can tell Leipold went from meeting Gilyard to see Mike Smith who is committed. Smith said he will visit this weekend.

I heard Jim Zebrowski has been flying all over to see 2023 QB recruits and by the end of the early period he will have visited the schools of their top QB targets for 2023. I believe a couple of the stops were in Illinois, Colorado, and California.

And I have a new name I am tracking. A source who covers Ohio State told me a coach from KU met with Craig Young a LB who went in the portal. He played in all 12 games for Ohio State and had 15 tackles, 1 INT and a forced fumble. This person felt Young would have competed to be the in the LB rotation at Ohio State.

I posted this morning Sevion Morrison will take a visit. There is part of me that says if could possibly get him they pass on Hassan Hall and not wait for what he had to say. He still has two visits left and my guess if they can get a commitment from one of them, they take the first one.

GCCC OL Isaiah Adams still has not told me where he will take a visit this weekend and said it was narrowed down to Illinois and Liberty.

This is what I came up with today. If I get any more this evening I will be back to report.

If you have any questions fire away.

* Users aren't allowed to bring in their own paraphernalia, sterile needles and paraphernalia is supplied
* The dope you buy on the street can be tested for fentanyl or god knows what
* Less dirty needles on the street as these are properly disposed of
* Users have access to treatment programs and counseling if desired
* Medics on site

They've had these in Europe and elsewhere for years. Overdoses alone are straining the NYC health care system and costs it $50MM/year. This is a smart, fiscally conservative program as the cost of these centers will result in millions saved annually.

Award given to best offensive line in college football.

Can Scott Fuchs take this line to the next level and get his name back on this list?

Will ever be national coach of the year while at Kansas?

Want to gauge how optimistic y'all are.

Take away Ochai, Braun, and Lightfoot (who was 3 for 3); and we were 9 for 28 from the field.

Took a PWO spot in Lincoln

CHRISTIAN BRAUN:

Q: Can you now start looking forward to Saturday?

A: Oh yeah. Yeah, I was looking forward to it before to be real honest with you, but I'm excited. I know all the guys are excited.

Q: What is it about this game that brings that out in you?

A: I mean, just growing up in it and seeing it firsthand? It's just Missouri, that's what I'm excited for. The rivalry is a lot bigger than me and my family. We watched this game growing up and seeing how intense the rivalry really is. So yeah it's big for my family, but I'm just excited to play with Kansas across my chest and get a win.

Q: Was it hard to not look ahead?

A: Yeah. I mean, obviously, there's people camping, you walk through the field out to practice, there's people already camping for the game, so that was exciting. But, we had to focus on this game we knew that, but I think the first thing everybody said when we got in the tunnel was who we got next.

OCHAI AGBAJI:

Q: Was it hard to not look ahead to Saturday? I mean, that's kind of a big game compared to this one.

A: A little bit. Yeah. It's just a big week, coming off the St John's win. We were coming back here, we were going to play in front of T-Mobile crowds, going to be fun. And then we obviously had Saturday's game, but never looked past the game. That's when you under underestimate your opponent.

Q: What does Saturday's game mean to you?

A: A lot. I didn't grow up, but you know, a KU Missouri fan. Because I had moved here from Milwaukee, so I've known the rivalry. I know the border war, so it should be a really fun game. That's all I got to say.

Q: You say it means a lot to you.

A: Oh. I mean, yeah, it means a lot to me because growing up, being on the Missouri side, I kind of get their perspective on KU. So now being at KU, I just know they both hate each other, so.

Q: Do you get a sense of what it means to other people, whether it's alums or former players or just the fans?

A: Yeah. We had a Sherron Collins and Jamari Traylor, just in the locker room. And they were talking about how much it means to them. And I know it means a lot to the alumni, to the whole program, to both universities. So it's a big game.

BILL SELF:

Q: Was there any concern they'd look ahead to Saturday?

A: Yeah, I think so. I think this was a trap game or whatever, but yeah. And we haven't played great over here as you guys know in this particular game. So I talked to him about that, but I didn't think it was a trap game, but it was a game in which the guys are... Monday morning we, we left to come over here. Guys showed up at noon, I guess, to lift. And there was well over a hundred camping groups already, which means over 2000 students are already waiting there since Monday morning to go to the game. And that number will go to one 150 or 200. And so we're telling them how important this game is, but they're thinking about what's getting ready to happen on Saturday. I think they handled it OK. But they're excited for Saturday. I'm sure Missou is as well.

Q: What's it going to be like over there?

A: What's it going to be like? Well, I would assume it's going to be pretty good. I would assume that there won't be a lot of empty seats. It's the best game on our schedule. And you talk about Kentucky or Baylor, Texas, or this one. This is the best game on our schedule. And at least from a fan participation and from a player participation... We haven't played them in nine years. Back when we did play them it was the best game on our schedule.

Q: Do you remember coming off the floor of that night?

A: In Lawrence?

Q: Yeah.

A: Oh yeah. Yeah. Well, I don't remember everything but I was thinking where's Neil Jones. I hope he interviews me. I wasn't thinking of it like that but it was probably the most emotional home game that I've ever been a part of. There was pressure on us to win that game and we didn't handle it very well. Then when the lid came off, we played pretty well down the stretch. But that was college basketball at its best, the OU game at home. There was three overtimes, but I don't know if there's another game like those two, those two were the best games.

The wife and I will be in Vegas this weekend. Staying at Mandalay Bay. What are the best places to watch the mu game?

It’s all but likely we won’t play a ranked team until conference play. To be fair - we are usually playing a top 10 team in the Champions Classic.

But good f’ng god can we get somebody worth a damn to play? This non-con is awful. Don’t get me wrong - I love watching KU hoops. But I can only take so many of these games against teams I don’t care about where we coast to a 20 point lead.

It would be nice to see just how we compare against other top teams instead of sleep walk through a bunch of lower tier teams from the most desolate spots in Texas.

Down 24-14 at the half to James Madison.


yikes

Oklahoma beat #14 Florida last week, KState beat WSU. Iowa State is up to #17, Tech is solid and of course the league had 3 top 10 teams. The Big 12 is good every year but it appears to be as strong as ever

With all that is happening with UT and the NIL stuff, you have to assume that other big time programs will follow. My thought is you could see a situation where players in some circumstances could be taking a pay cut by going to the nfl.

Jaren Kanak de commits from Clemson. Headed to OU? Or do we have a chance?

Saw a video of someone that was saying this could should have offers. Looks like a stud someone just could go after?

Thoughts?
