Whether it’s going to the family farm or seeing the Plaza Lighting ceremony, we’ve found reasons to gather around the table, overeat and enjoy each other’s company. But in the same way pumpkin pie is a turkey day necessity, so is football. Food-coma naps [...]
Kansas coach Charlie Weis supported his players through thick and thin in his first year in Lawrence.

When offensive captain Tanner Hawkinson takes the field on Saturday, it will be his 47th career start for the Jayhawks, breaking Hessley Hempstead’s 1994 school record.
