I'm trying out for linebacker, well maybe d-end

I wanted to wait to do a KU football post until I got to watch them play, good thing I waited.  They gave up an FBS record 604 rushing yards in a 66-24 loss to Georgia Tech, I couldn't do that on a video game.  I feel bad for the offense, knowing they have to score every time they get the ball.  I realize they were going up against a confusing triple option offense but still.  They were slow, out of position and couldn't tackle, great recipe for success.  They better regroup because they play Texas Tech next week, their quarterback, Seth Doege was 40-44 today, with 401 yards and 5 touchdowns.

I feel KU is heading in the right direction though.  Turner Gill had a good recruiting class in his first year, and I think quarterback Jordan Webb can be really good, he's only a sophomore.  They have shown a good running game this year and... ugh it's hard to come up with positives after a terrible loss.  The success in the future for KU will depend a lot on where they end up after conference realignment.  Right now playing eight conference games and Texas is tough, I consider Texas an Independent.  If KU ends up in the Big East they could compete, but that league may be dissolving as well.  There are so many unknowns at this point.

ROYALS!!!

The Royals are on a roll, 7 strait wins.  People say the hardest time to evaluate teams is in September, I don't care, any positive news about the Royals is great for me.  Everett Teaford pitch great tonight in his second career start, allowing one run in 6 innings.  Teaford is a 27 year old rookie who was called up in May to add lefty depth in the bullpen, he could be part of the rotation next year.  Moustakas has hit 3 home runs in his last four games and has moved his average up to .252.  Salvador Perez has continued hit with his average sitting at .322 way better then expected.  Hosmer has a shot at AL Rookie of the Year, he is batting .289 with 17 home runs and 71 RBI's.  Johnny Giavotella is struggling though, batting .219 with sub-par defense.  Unless he gets hot I don't see him on the opening day roster next year.
