Jayhawks Roll

The Kansas Jayhawks continued to stake their claim as the best team in the nation last night with an 85-55 drumming of Oklahoma. The Jayhawks led 20-4 to start the game and really never looked back. Tough start to Big 12 play for the Sooners, getting upset by KSU on their court and then blown away by the Jayhawks...they'll have to pick up the pieces quickly to salvage the season.

You have to wonder if the KU players were tired of hearing about K-State and Mizzou's big wins on Saturday...and if they sent a message to both with one win. First, they made the Wildcats big first win look not near as big. Second, those Tigers that felt the momentum building for their matchup with Kansas on Saturday have to feel a little less excited about the prospects of facing this Jayhawk squad. But as impressed as I was with Kansas, there was something more impressive...

Monica, a 32 year old soccer mom with twins and a football coach husband finished the eliminator in two minutes flat last night. Why is this big? Besides the fact that she beat every other female competitor and clinched a spot in the finals? She broke the record for any gender! Monica beat every male that has competed thus far on American Gladiators. This and 200 pound Hellga flying through the air like Dumbo without the ears were definitely the highlights of the show...

Later today, The State of the Blog Report including an update on our January goals and plans for the future.
