…so they can get arrested. And have sex scandals.

Turner Gill is in for a DOOZY of a downfall…

“Coach Gill really indoctrinates us with the fact that if you really believe in something and you’re going to commit yourself whole-heartedly to it, good things will happen. You’re going to hit speed bumps along the way, but he’s there to guide us. He’s there very much as a father figure and a mentor to us. And that’s not typical for Div. I coaches. For a guy who has his own family. He has a daughter in college and a daughter in high school. He has his own family to take care of and he calls us his sons. When he says it, he means it. It’s powerful. It means a lot to us. And we’re willing to go out and lay it on the line for him.”

- Senior right tackle, Brad Thorson

I believe in Coach Gill. I have no confidence on how this season plays out, or whether he succeeds at all here at KU. But if I need to choose a guy to back, why not pick a good guy? The positive guy? The guy who makes you gag from cornball instead of sliminess or snakeskin oil?

Heck, sweaty July days like today are PERFECT for this kind of quote. Today – this exact moment – I have no doubt that KU will go 11-1. No doubt they’ll win a BCS bowl game. And, of course, all of our senior class will advance on to noble careers in medicine, legislature or the priesthood.

Will I feel different by Sept. 1? Of course. But shut it. I’m going to enjoy the silliness while I can.
