Mangino puts football back on the map at Kansas


Mangino puts football back on the map at Kansas - The Bonus - SI.com:

"Not long after he was hired at the University of Kansas, Mark Mangino experienced something that gave him a clear indication of his status in the community. Mangino was shopping with his wife when an older woman approached and asked if he was the new football coach. Mangino replied he was and then waited for some words of encouragement.

'Well, I want to tell you that if you do really good, I'll buy football season tickets,' the woman said. 'I've had basketball tickets now for 40 years. But if you do good, I'll buy football season tickets too.'"
