Kansas’ football and basketball players got a talkin’ to yesterday after three altercations in the span of two days and years of ego tripping over each program’s success and arguing over who’s more popular with the ladies.

Hey, one of my all-time favorite coaches, former Iowa State men’s basketball coach Larry Eustachy, reportedly testified about the quality of women in Lawrence, telling a woman in Manhattan that she should go to KU because the women are “much hotter.”

This morning, we know the main characters of the story. The Kansas City Star reports that the two-day fight started Tuesday night with a brawl between Tyshawn Taylor, a guard on the basketball team, and Anthony Davis, a cornerback on the football team, over a woman. Taylor announced on his Facebook page that he dislocated his finger throwing a punch.

Nothing like announcing the feud to the world.

After a Wednesday morning showdown — in which the Star reported that a basketball players threw a football player down a flight of stairs — a peace agreement seemed to be brokered by athletic director Lew Perkins and football coach Mark Mangino (Bill Self was out of town). 

Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing reportedly told KSHB Channel 41: “When it comes down to it, we’re all one big family at the end of the day.”

One great big family worthy of Jerry Springer.
