        Maybe this was all inevitable, Kansas State&amp;rsquo;s emergence as the only team capable of seizing control of the embarrassingly mediocre Big 12 North.

        Let me translate the sign and one-win distraction stunt that&amp;rsquo;s hanging inside the Arrowhead Stadium practice facility: &amp;ldquo;Losers question our qualifications to fix this franchise. Winners do what we tell them to do to avoid getting fined, cut or losing access to our self-promoting, unenlightening off-the-record conversations. And in keeping with our tight-lipped approach on talking about in-house matters, we have no comment on Larry Johnson.&amp;rdquo;

    <description><![CDATA[

  
    
      
        Based on Mark Mangino&amp;rsquo;s logic, Lew Perkins can consider firing the Kansas football coach at the end of the season. Mangino&amp;rsquo;s decision to bench Todd Reesing late in the Jayhawks&amp;rsquo; loss to Texas Tech signals that the 12-1 season of 2007 and the Orange Bowl victory mean nothing in 2009. Not to Mangino, the Janet &amp;ldquo;What Have You Done For Me Lately?&amp;rdquo; Jackson of college football coaches.

        There&amp;rsquo;s no way I release Larry Johnson. No way. He&amp;rsquo;s Scott Pioli&amp;rsquo;s and Todd Haley&amp;rsquo;s most valuable player.

        Dear Todd Haley: I want you to succeed. You strike me as a good person, someone who has earned the opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL.

        LAWRENCE | At least on the University of Kansas campus, order has been restored. The Oklahoma Sooners pretty much ended the festering rivalry between the Kansas football and basketball players. After the Sooners&amp;rsquo; 35-13 thumping of the Jayhawks on Saturday, it&amp;rsquo;s rather clear which high-profile Kansas team gets first dibs with the ladies and can claim rulership of Jayhawker Towers.

    <description><![CDATA[

  
    
      
        Let me first apologize to Rush Limbaugh. Last week in explaining why NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needed to put an end to Limbaugh&#39;s latest publicity stunt, I incorrectly attributed racially insensitive quotes to Limbaugh. It was unfair. What really irritates me is that I certainly didn&#39;t need the quotes to make my point.

        It was weird and sad, Kansas City&#39;s 26-20 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Chiefs wore throwback Dallas Texans uniforms in tribute to their AFL heritage.

        COLUMBIA | Blame it on Missouri&#39;s ill-conceived and inconsistent running game. The Tigers&#39; inability to run the football placed too big a burden on injured sophomore quarterback Blaine Gabbert and eventually contributed to the Tigers blowing a 12-point advantage in 3 fourth-quarter minutes.

        Thanks to sixth-year quarterback Grant Gregory (and a PAT block by Emmanuel Lamur), the Kansas State Wildcats control the Big 12 North. It&amp;rsquo;s true. The Wildcats own sole possession of first place. Their thrilling 24-23 Farmageddon victory over Iowa State at Arrowhead Stadium gave them a leg up on idle North heavyweights Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.

        There&amp;rsquo;s a huge difference between ego and confidence. Self-importance (ego) prevents a person from seeing the value in others. Self-confidence empowers a person to seek out the value in others.
