Audio excerpts from coach Mark Mangino's comments from the Sept. 22 Big 12 coaches teleconference (MP3 files):
Opening statement: "... I thought all three phases of the game came together..."
On the Missouri-Kansas rivalry: "We have to go into that game with a good record..."
On opening Big 12 Conference play with a rivalry game: "Maybe eventually this will get back toward the end of the year..."
On compensating players with more than scholarships: "I would like to see the kids get some type of stipend..."
On MU quarterback Brad Smith: "I don't think anybody has stopped him."
On worrying about Bill Whittemore doing too much: "He makes plays and we don't want to harness that..."
On Kansas compared to other teams in the conference: "We're further ahead than we were last year at this time..."
On if he expected KU's passing attack to be this strong: "I knew that our receiving corps was maturing..."
On Charles Gordon rarely calling for fair catches on punts: "He'll learn to do that."
On if, after last year, he's happily surprised to be 3-1 after the non-conference part of the schedule: "I'm pleased that we're 3-1, but I think we've got a long, long way to go."
