In the summer of 2015, before Kansas Coach David Beaty even coached his first game at Memorial Stadium, I made the point that KU Football seems to ignore, let alone celebrate, its past successes. While minor in comparison to recruiting and coaching competency, the bland, lifeless atmosphere and lack of celebration of the program and its history contributes to the hapless feeling around Jayhawk football.
At the time, I actually reached out to the athletic department and a source who chose to remain nameless informed me that the department was aware of and taking this issue seriously.
