With the NFL and their regular officials the middle of a labor dispute, the referees brought in to work during the lockout struggled through the first three weeks. Weeks one and two had plenty of questionable moments, but the problems came to a head during week three. In the “Sunday Night Football” game between the [...]

[...]

When football coach Charlie Weis declared that senior quarterback Dayne Crist would play for the football team, many thought Crist would be the second-coming of former quarterback Todd Reesing. Some thought that he would be the missing piece to the team. Only problem is that the piece is still missing. After four games, the former [...]
DEKALB, ILL. – Kansas fans who were waiting for senior quarterback Dayne Crist to lead the Jayhawks to victory will have to show more patience.
