Big 12 Player Of The Week


Kevin Cosgrove is the Big XII Offesive Player of the Week. Cosgrove had 572 yards on 90 plays against the University of Nebraska. After the game Kansas Coach Mark Mangino thanked Cosgrove for the lack of hard work he did in preparation during the week. Along with the 572 yards, Cosgrove broke yet another record with 76 points (48 at halftime) in a single game.

According to Dave Thomas, the founder of Wendy's and an avid KU/MU/NU supporter, a Cosgrove-Burger promotion is in the works due to Cosgrove's recent honor of being Player of the Week. The burger will be available at all Wendy's locations in the Big 12 conference area on Saturday afternoons. The burger itself will feature smoked bacon and burnt buns, not unlike Nebraska's defensive secondary that gets smoked and burnt each week.

*Special note on the actual Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week:
As stated by Omaha.com..."When Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel was named Big 12 offensive player of the week, it snapped a streak of four straight Mondays where the winner was pulled from the offense playing Nebraska two days before."

**Jim Rose rumors. Sure you can believe he really missed calling the KU/NU game, the Bill Callahan show and his shows on KFAB, for personal reasons. Just know that he won't be back...and you heard it here first!
