A week after making his first appearance of the season, true freshman cornerback D.J. Beshears will start Saturday against Oklahoma, Mangino said Wednesday.

In replacing incumbent cornerback Daymond Patterson, Beshears, a 5-foot-9, 175-pound Denton, Texas, native, finished with five tackles against the Buffaloes and played with a tenacity that left the team’s coaching staff impressed.

Not sure what to make of this. It's one of those things that is hard to understand because one side of me wants to think, "Oh good, Behears has some potential and is really pushing to get this spot." The other side of me remembers that I said the same thing about Patterson last year and look at him now.

Is this fix permanant?
What happens to Patterson now? (Please no Anthony Webb)

Update: From Jayhawkslant

Prior to the Colorado game, true freshman wide receiver Chris Omigie had replaced Isiah Barfield on the depth chart. Omigie is now listed as the second string wide receiver behind Dezmon Brsicoe. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said Omigie is close to burning his redshirt and seeing time on the field.

Warinner said in the right situation they could use him.

Thoughts on this? I'm always a fan of the best players playing no matter what, and if McDougald is seeing more time on D then another playmaker on offense is welcomed by me, dude has got size.

I know many have probably seen this but I'm looking for some thoughts.

Which time would you rather have?

I know 7 for me is the choice. All day to tailgate and a rare night game at Memorial would mean a rowdy crowd. Peope want to make little jabs about people leaving during games but in a huge game like this there is no doubt the place will be packed and loud.

What has to happen to get the 7 pm game?

It's between our game and Texas vs. Missouri. Is it all about the Red River Shootout outcome or do KU and Misery's outcomes matter as well?

Either way, I'm pumped for having the 2 prime spots as options.

Cool piece from "The Newell Post" on KUSports. Agree with his top 10.

So as if this guy hasn't been milking this enough and whining about not getting coverage or interviews, now he comes out and goes to a cultural issue in his sports column.

I don't blame anyone for not wanting to read this article because it really isn't good and he, yet again, sheds bad light on KU athletics when we should be moving on from this. But I had to post it here because it kind of pisses me off that the editor of KU's hometown paper is so ignorant about this subject and still chose to write about it and put it out there for outsiders to judge.

I was happy when the LJWorld replaced Chuck Woodling with a "bigger name" but now I'm not so sure that was such a good thing.

Tim Griffin has us 4th behind the Big 3 of the South.

Yet another column defending Greinke as the Cy Young, this time from Jeff Passan. I don't see how he can't get it.

Tim Griffin remembers the Big 12 North. Nice little piece.
