I'm not one to usually take a shot at any of my fellow AP voters, but the dude who covers Kansas for the Kansas City Star voted Kansas ahead of Baylor 48 hours after he watched Baylor beat the brakes off Kansas at Kansas. That's the vote that kept the Bears from No. 1 this week.

Huggins: "We've had guys who have led us. Guys who when somebody starts bitching in the locker room they tell them, 'Shut the hell up before I slap you.' That's the way it's supposed to be. Your upperclassmen are supposed to lead -- they're supposed to lead in a positive way."

Spent about 15 minutes chatting with new Marshall football coach Charles Huff and I have two scoops: 1) His Tudors order was b/e/c but he wants to expand and try more. 2) He is an old-school wrestling fan and plans to zipline into the Joan wearing Sting facepaint for the opener.
