(1) Kansas 84, California 69 -- Sherron Collins, 17 points. Marcus Morris, 14 points. Tyshawn Taylor, 13 points. Xavier Henry, 12 points. Cole Aldrich, 10 points. You can't play the Jayhawks and focus on shutting down, say, Cole Aldrich without having four other guys step in and make you pay. Kansas has a plethora of offensive weapons (a la Carolina last year), which will make them the toughest team to beat in March.

Are Turnovers a Problem for this Team? Maybe...

Undefeated season here we come! As Bensa said, We're All Thinking It. However, the thoughts might be getting a little cloudy as the season progresses and a few flaws start to show themselves during games. Not to mention, Texas looking like a dynamite team so far this season. Anyway, one of those flaws that has bothered me up to this point in the season is turnovers. Being a fan means that I often get an idea stuck in my head and won't let go of it until I see proof that my idea is stupid. So is my fear of the turnover irrational right now?

Earlier this week, we took a look at what the teams in the Big 12 North have accomplished so far this season. Today, it's time to take a look at the South division. We all know about Texas, how about the other schools?

Big 12 Snapshot: North Edition

A few more games and then the season really begins for this year's Jayhawks. Kansas has had their way with the non-conference schedule up to this point, though Michigan and Tennessee are hoping to change that. Following the Tennessee game, it is full steam ahead into Big 12 play. Since I'm bored and it's a Sunday night, seems like a good time to get a snapshot of the Big 12 up to this point in the season.

Hey Bill- Schedule Someone (Good) Please!

As Jayhawk fans are glued to various blogs, message boards, and other news sources waiting for Lew to make his big hire, the basketball team (yes, KU has a basketball team) is rolling along steamrolling inferior programs at home. The Jayhawks have played a couple of good programs, Memphis (neutral) and on the road at UCLA. However, the majority of the teams we are seeing aren't giving us much of a glimpse as to how this team will handle the good teams in the Big 12 and NCAA tournament. Why is Coach Self filling the schedule with creampuffs? Lets compare the super weak schedule to that of North Carolina and Kentucky, two other teams who have a realistic goal of cutting down the nets as One Shining Moment is played by CBS.
For the comparison of this year's schedule, I took the first 15 games for the three teams. Looked up their opponents final ranking in 2009 according to KenPom. Results after the jump.

One day a GM Manifesto will be released with a list of some of Moore's more ridiculous moves and at the bottom it will read "Do not try this at home." I think he may actually be toying with the theory of fielding a replacement level team just to see if all our WAR estimates were right.
Even outsiders who aren't on the "automatically hate on GMDM" bandwagon are weighing in...

OT- AMC Theaters ban outside food and drink
Posted this more because I always assumed outside food and drink has always been banned at movie theaters.
Do you normally take your own food and drink to theaters without hiding it?

Q: If the boxing higher-ups had any sense whatsoever they would give us Pacman/Mayweather in six months. I would stop everything to have a fight night party for this event. I have not paid for a boxing event since Holyfield/Lewis in 1999 but I would spend at least $300-$500 to see this. What is the holdup?
-- Seth Johnson, Middletown, N.Y.SG: It's going to be disappointing. Just warning you now. Floyd Mayweather Jr. could never in a million years trade punches with Manny Pacquiao. He will be on his bicycle for 12 rounds. There is no way that, at this point in his life, Mayweather wants any part of Pacquiao, a concrete-headed, indefatigable freak of nature who can finish with either hand from every angle. If Mayweather gets in the ring, he'll end up doing more laps than Steve Prefontaine did for the University of Oregon. Just keep your guard up when you're spending that $64.95.
Simmons isn't known as a boxing guy, but this made me laugh.
