I’m absolutely frightened as to what my linking this could do to the Google results for a search for my name, but…well, what the hell. My cousin, Brian Ford, has written a detailed profile of me. As you might expect, it’s totally fascinating. I have to say, though — I’m actually only 31 years old (Brian says I’m 32). Aside from this minor error, the piece is 100% accurate. Visit site »

KU is now ranked 15th in both polls, and 13th in the BCS standings — ahead of USC, Flordia, and Missouri.

Now, I don’t for one minute believe that my Jayhawks are better than the Trojans or the Gators — at least not yet. But it’s still exciting, nonetheless. If you do the math, this means Kansas truly has a chance to play for the national title this year, if they run the table.

Now again — I don’t necessarily expect them to run the table. The next two weeks are going to be tough road games, and they’d also have to beat Mizzou at Arrowhead and the Big XII South champ (probably Oklahoma) in the championship game. So, let’s not get too excited just yet — but I’ll be damned if the dearth of football prowess at KU for the last 15+ years doesn’t make this more fun than going to the Final Four (year after year after year).
