Let me start off by commenting on the Super Bowl. Last night and even this morning, I am becoming more of a Rex Grossman supporter. I know I know, he's not the greatest QB ever but I honestly think that people in Chicago are expecting WAY to much from this guy. I mean, I heard people talk about how the Bears should've put in Griese last night. Even if they did, if Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes continued to run through the Bears defense like they were, it wouldn't have mattered at all. Peyton Manning wasn't pressured in anyway. I fully agree that Grossman played horrible but you cannot pin the game on him when your defense can't tackle anybody wearing a horseshoe on their helmet. A big let down for the 'monsters of the midway'. Now all we have to hear for the next 8 months is how the Cubs are underachieving and how we need a new QB.
Another let down this weekend was when the Aggies of Texas A&M came into the Allen Fieldhouse and pulled out a win, 69-66. I thought that KU had the game in the bag but they just couldn't pull away in the end. They allowed 2 three point plays on fouls in the final 2 minutes and then up 2 allowed their hot shooting guard to drain a 3 in the face of Brandon Rush with 25 seconds to go. I definitely give credit to the Aggies for hanging in and playing hard. The big guys for KU i.e. Julian Wright, & Brandon Rush were almost nonexistent as the game progressed. It felt like the freshman (from Chi town) Sherron Collins #4, was the only guy who came ready to play. He had 18 points in just 23 minutes. Definitely playing good and showing some life. Hopefully this loss will prepare us for the final run of the season but it just hurts that it had to come on our home court.
A big game this Wednesday as the up and coming Wildcats from K-State come to visit the PHOG! Jayhawks need a big win.
