Mark Mangino, Man Of Mystery

Mark Mangino is feeling the heat today. Why? Because a group of players met with Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins Monday night to discuss Mangino’s treatment of players. Now Mangino is making vague, ominous comments:

↵↵Mangino said he has not lost his team. “Not one bit,” Mangino said Tuesday at his weekly media gathering. “I may have lost some people around here, but it’s not players.”

↵Asked what he meant, Mangino said, “Take it for what it’s worth. You decipher it and see.”

↵↵Basically, it means that Perkins is the one initiating the discussions; interviews with players have failed to yield anyone willing to say Mangino is treating players any differently this year than in past years. Mangino’s self-serving diagnosis of the situation might also be right: This could have a lot do with the fact that Kansas is 1-5, and not 5-1. Mangino’s always been a gangster, ya feel me?
