&ldquo;Jason, it&rsquo;s only going to be awkward if you&rsquo;re not sure Blaine Gabbert is the one,&rdquo; Dr. Brian Anthony Homer reminded me Thursday during our weekly therapy session. &ldquo;If you believe in your heart what you told me last week, things will be fine on Saturday.&rdquo;</p><p>Dr. B.A. Homer, Kansas City&rsquo;s leading sports therapist, spent the majority of our meeting reassuring me that I could handle seeing Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing again. The undefeated and 22nd-ranked Jayhawks take on Duke Saturday morning, and I&rsquo;m covering the game.</p><p>&ldquo;Jason, just be strong and act like it&rsquo;s no big deal when you see him, no matter how many touchdown passes he throws,&rdquo; B.A. Homer advised. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s playing Duke. It&rsquo;s not like he&rsquo;s going to light up a Big Ten powerhouse like Illinois.&rdquo;</p><p>I know, Doc. It&rsquo;s just going to be so awkward seeing him again. The last time I saw him, he was awesome. He threw for 375 yards and four touchdowns at Arrowhead Stadium. He hit Kerry Meier for the game-winner that beat Mizzou.</p><p>&ldquo;But you never committed your heart to Reesing. You liked Reesing and Chase Daniel last season. It just depended on the game. You flirted with many quarterbacks last year. If I remember, last season you were really into Nate Davis.&rdquo;</p><p>Come on, Doc. That&rsquo;s gross. Nate was Ball State family. He was like a little brother to me. The thing with Reesing was different.</p><p>&ldquo;Oh, Jason, the truth is Todd Reesing isn&rsquo;t your kind of quarterback. He doesn&rsquo;t have the kind of body you like in a quarterback. You never liked Doug Flutie. You don&rsquo;t like short, mobile quarterbacks. You fall in love with tall, sturdy, drop-back QBs who can hang in the pocket. Reesing was nothing more than a fling, a QB to pass the time while you waited on someone like Gabbert.&rdquo;</p><p>I know. I know. But it&rsquo;s still going to be awkward. And what am I going to write after the game? What if Reesing has a great game and the Jayhawks look better than Mizzou? If I write a positive column, will Blaine think I&rsquo;m cheating?</p><p>&ldquo;Just write about Mangino. He&rsquo;s clearly the best coach in the Big 12 North, maybe in the whole conference. I&rsquo;ve been trying to hook you up with a BBW for years.&rdquo;</p><p>A BBW? Did you just call Mark Mangino a BBW?</p><p>&ldquo;Yes, he&rsquo;s a Big Big Winner. He&rsquo;s won a BCS bowl game. Gary Pinkel has never even played in a BCS game. BBWs need lovin&rsquo; too, Jason.&rdquo;</p><p>I guess I could write about Mangino. He&rsquo;s exceeded everyone&rsquo;s expectations.</p><p>&ldquo;But don&rsquo;t be afraid to praise Reesing. You don&rsquo;t want Blaine Gabbert to think you&rsquo;re easy. Make him jealous. You went all gaga two weeks ago, and Gabbert looked rattled last week against Bowling Green. You have to be unpredictable early in a relationship. You can&rsquo;t wear your feelings on your sleeve. Learn from your mistakes with Jeff George. You spoiled him. Gave him too much attention early.</p><p>Doc, why would you bring up Jeff? You know how painful this has been, ending that relationship, moving on from a 30-year football love affair. We agreed not to talk about Jeff!</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry. I just don&rsquo;t want you to repeat the same mistakes. You rush into these relationships with these young quarterbacks and you never take the blinders off and see the flaws.&rdquo;</p><p>I wasn&rsquo;t aware Jeff had any flaws. He just got too old. And are you trying to insinuate Blaine Gabbert is flawed?
