Mark Mangino Disappointed Not to Be Playing in Food-Sponsored Bowl Game

It’s been a few weeks since Mark Mangino resigned from his position as head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks, but it’s not until now that the effects are affecting him. Mangino always looked forward to seeing what bowl game the Jayhawks would be playing in, hoping it was sponsored by a food-product that would be giving out free samples. Many of the 196 bowl games this season are sponsored by food products: The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, the Papajohns.com Bowl, and the Orange Bowl.

“I was never a big fan of the Orange Bowl” said Mangino while dining at a local KFC establishment. “First of all, our team was never good enough to make such a prestigious bowl game and second, oranges are way to healthy for my diet. The Papajohns.com Bowl was always my favorite because I love greasy pizza.” Mangino commented that when he first started coaching, he thought the food would come in a bowl like the name said.

Mangino is spending his holidays looking for a head coaching or assistant coaching job. He is scheduled to interview with the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin Cajuns because he likes Cajun food. Nebraska is also a possibility because he’s a fan of corn. Since he’s not a fan of oranges, Mangino is not interested in working for the Syracuse Orange.
