Some may accuse me of being a fair-weather Kansas Jayhawks football fan, throwing them under the bus when they’re struggling, and wrapping himself in crimson and blue when they’re on top. There may be some truth to that. In prior seasons, the Hawks oftentimes struggled to play .500 ball; the reality was that they had little chance against a lot of teams. This year has obviously been different; their early success has resulted in more exposure, which means us east coasters can see them more often, which stokes the fires of fandom. Whatever.
This article from the Lawrence Journal-World details just what records were broken in the Jayhawk’s 76-39 mauling of Nebraska yesterday:
• Kansas never has scored more points in a conference game.
• Nebraska never has allowed more points in ANY game.
• The 115 combined points are the most ever in a contest involving KU.
• Quarterback Todd Reesing’s six touchdown passes are a school record.
• Brandon McAnderson’s four touchdown runs tie a school record.
• Even when the Huskers were a national power a generation ago, they never put more than 70 on the lowly Jayhawks. KU was almost there in the third quarter Saturday.
Add to that over 1000 yards in combined total offense by both teams, and it was definitely a game for the ages.

Ken,
You have no idea how crazy Lawrence has been lately with the success of the football team!
Now, I’ll readily admit that I’m a “band-wagoner” when it comes to KU football, but it’s just to much fun to see the ol’ Alma Mater succeed in more than one sport to worry about that.
Glad to see you got to catch the game out east. We were lucky enough to have the cable company turn on HD feed of the game free of charge. It was great to see Memorial Stadium in it’s true High Def glory
