Oh those cupcakes certainly did you big, dirty, sexy man!

From kusports.com
Mangino--"The cupcakes served their purpose"

It was laughed at, ridiculed and verbally beaten for weeks. Four games for Kansas University’s football team in the notorious nonconference schedule, against four tremendously inferior opponents: Central Michigan, Southeastern Louisiana, Toledo and Florida International.

All were in the cozy confines of Memorial Stadium, and none ever was in doubt.

Kansas outscored the pastries, 214-23.

So after KU beat Kansas State, 30-24, Saturday in Manhattan to start Big 12 Conference play, it was time to examine just what the September slate did to help the Jayhawks win their latest game on the road.

“I think it’s a key factor,” Mangino said Monday. “You have to reflect back a year ago. We were a 6-6 team, lost some tough games. There are several factors involved, and we addressed each and every factor head-on.

“One of the factors — it wasn’t the biggest factor — but one of the factors was confidence. We felt like being 4-0 in nonconference play developed confidence in our players for Big 12 competition.”

Certainly, KU’s players showed a sense of poise they didn’t have last year. When a pass from quarterback Todd Reesing thunked off Dexton Fields’ helmet and was intercepted by K-State’s Chris Carney with 8:52 remaining, it was just the sort of bad break — especially late in the game — that doomed the Jayhawks in 2006.

K-State ended up scoring to go up 24-21 with 7:32 to play. But just 65 seconds later, Kansas answered when Reesing found — who else? — Dexton Fields for a 30-yard redemption score to put Kansas back on top 27-24. It proved to be the winning score.

Would a 2-2 or 3-1 team have recovered like that? It’s hard to say. But a 4-0 team did. And now the Jayhawks are 5-0 heading into Saturday’s home game with Baylor.

“They do a good job of scheduling to help their program and help them come out of the hole, which is always good,” Baylor coach Guy Morriss said of the Jayhawks. “They took advantage of that.”

Besides the confidence aspect, Mangino felt September was helpful in terms of personnel. Players like safety Patrick Resby, cornerback Chris Harris, receiver Dezmon Briscoe and left guard Adrian Mayes proved their worth in September, and all had big games against Kansas State.

“It gave us a chance to look at who we have,” Mangino said. “Do we have people in the right spots, and what adjustments do we need to make when we get to conference play?”

I swear he s put on another 100 since 2001

[OklahomaTuba]

100??

Surely you jest!

How bout 1fity or a deuce.

[Landthief 1972]

You could fit 2 Jabbas under that shirt. The guy needs medical help.

I'm really surprised the university hasn't told him to do something or else. Maybe there are legalities associated with that sort of ultimatum but if not, they should force the issue. He's going to collapse one of these days.

Being that big can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure and being harpooned.

[EstablishedSooner1967]

I wish someone would put a side by side of Mangino form 2000 and 2007,

What does OSU have to do with Mangino? :confused:


:D

[GrapevineSooner]

I showed my co-worker two pics of Mangino and Rick Majerus.

He threw up in his mouth a little.

That ref isn't arguing with him

he's orbiting him

[Piware]

Did anyone else see the t-shirts some of the KU students were wearing that said "Our Coach Could Eat Your Coach". Yikes!

[Crucifax Autumn]

Heh!

He really does look like a big bloated tick.

[Leroy Lizard]

I'm really surprised the university hasn't told him to do something or else.

Or else what? Resign? And let someone else take over that could possibly lose more games? Right?

As long as his team continues to win, Mangino could grow to the size of Mt. McKinley for all they care.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Well, they can't fire him...He's the only thing in Kansas that's not flat and boring.

[Crucifax Autumn]

And remember whan he uses to look like Mario? Now he looks like King Koopa!

It looks like he's just going to devour the ref.

The mouth opens and it's worse than a black hole.

Granted, I think one of the best things we can have happen is for KU to go undefeated and play them in the Big 12 championship. And have Mizzou only lose to us and KU.

[Crucifax Autumn]

He looks like all 3 tenors in that shot.

One afternoon I stood in line behind Mangino in a quick stop in Norman.

I couldn't get over how friggin' wide he was.

He was purchasing 1 large size fountain drink and two candy bars. An afternoon snack I guess.

[Crucifax Autumn]

that was just 4th meal. I'm assuming it was around 10 a.m.

[ruf/nekdad]

Now that there is clever.

[NS5]

Be sympathetic my slender friends. The bigger you get, the shorter your arms
are. Get it!

[Jeopardude]

I was talking to a Norman restaurant owner the other day about football and Mangino came up. I asked if he ever came in his restaurant.

He said, "Mangino came to our lunch buffet once. It was a very terrible day for us." :D

[TexasEx4OU]

that was just his 4th Qtr. meal. His pre-game meal was at 10:00a.m.

Fixed...

[Dan Thompson]

Any one guess how heavy he is. I think 425 pounds.
