Team elects team captains

Secret ballot, O votes for O captain, D for D captain
Operum selected for D captain.
"Too close to call", so Hawkinson and Crist named O co-captains.
(Anyone really surprised that Crist voted for LT Hawkinson to be team captain? )
4th captain -- Special Teams -- to be chosen every week in the fall based upon performance prior week.

Choosing captains now instead of August surprised players, but Weis & Co hope for team leadership to extend beyond the field to help stem problems KU has had (NB: TTBOMK only with Gill's players -- another indictment of Gill's term).

LJW: Peer pressure: Weis names captains early, hoping to stem off-field woes

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. - Mark Twain, "Innocents Abroad"
