Per the incomparable Deadspin (which, to quote EDSBS, is like crediting the water company for the glass of water you just drank), it's Kansas' college football preview.

It's written by Ryan Patton of Kansas Football--It's Business Time, which would be a great blog if it weren't run by Al-Qaeda.

Keeping with the "know thy enemies" mantra, it's definitely worth a read, but I'll pull out some, shall we say, interesting portions:

Yet in just his [Mangino's] sixth season he managed to notch a BCS victory. Kansas now has exactly the same amount of BCS wins as: Nebraska, Florida State, Tennessee and Michigan. They have now exceeded the number of BCS wins by Frank Beamer and his football sized goiter. They also have more than that booger munching team from the east (Methzouri, for the lay person), who has never seen a BCS game (or Final Four). But I digress.

He calls Mizzou "Methzouri" throughout the piece, despite the fact that many different sources have proven that factually inaccurate. Also, "booger munching" should be hyphenated. But I digress...

Offensively they have to replace their tackles (Collins and Rodriguez), their TE (Fine), a WR (Henry) and a RB (McAnderson). The latter two are very replaceable. I have my doubts for the others, but I’m under the impression that while the newbies may not be quite as good as their predecessors we shouldn’t expect a huge plummet either.

Really? "Very replaceable?" Last time I checked, McAnderson was the third-leading rusher in the conference last season. Interesting.

Oh, but here's the true bit of genius:

Almost Sure Wins (6): FIU, Louisiana Tech, Sam Houston St., @ Iowa State, Colorado, KSU
Almost Sure Losses (1): @ Oklahoma
Almost Sure Toss-ups (5): @ South Florida, Texas Tech, @ Nebraska, Texas, Methzouri (@ Arrowhead)

A reminder that Kansas beat Colorado 19-14 last season, and Kansas figures to be worse while Colorado figures to be better. Calling it an "almost sure win" is absurd.

I don't have a problem with calling South Florida a "toss-up," but to call Texas Tech (which would have been the second-best team they played last season), Texas (which would have been the second-best team they played last season) and Mizzou (to which Kansas lost in a game that was much more decisive than the score indicates) "toss-ups" is one of the most asinine things I've ever read.

All aboard the ROFLcopter.
