The Kansas Jayhawks have a six game win streak, their longest since 1995. They are one of only 6 teams in Division I still undefeated, ranked 15th in the AP poll, and dating back to last season they've won 9 of their last 10 games. The man behind this strong start and the revival of a struggling program - Mark Mangino. A couple of interesting facts about Coach Mangino, he is one of only five Division I coaches to have never played college football (Cutcliffe has been canned, but Charlie Weiss has been hired at ND, he never played), and for some reason he didn't graduate from college until he was 30 years old. Maybe he was emulating John Blutarsky, I'm not really sure. Last week, his team beat Baylor so badly, one of the opposing assistant coaches took a leak on a bar following the game. Clearly, Mangino's success needs to be celebrated, so Coach Mangino, you are the subject of our Clips of the week.
While we are on the subject, here's the clip of Mangino going completely insane on a player earlier this season, and here's a rant from a few years ago that actually got him fined. As the man behind these great clips, here's hoping the coach avoids this new breakfast item, we want him around for a long time.
Kansas plays Colorado this weekend, watch out Ralphie, Mangino is gunning for you.
