Let the record be known: I'm not really a sports person. Too many numbers, too many facts, too much involvement on mu part. With that being said, I liked KUSports.com, the website for Kansas University sports. Appearance wise, it's very aesthetically pleasing. The navigation bar on the right is incredibly easy to use, listing each sport clearly. The layout of the site is very organized, and not at all challenging to find exactaly what you're looking for. Most importantly, as I'm sure on most sports web sites, there are plenty of places where fans (and non-fans) can discuss issues about the team. There is plenty of multimedia outlets, including podcasts and photo gallaries, that easily caters to a wide variety of visitors.
I would say the coolest part is at the bottom of the page, where the site has a featured post from a user. This must easily boost site traffic and interaction, being that any diehard Kansas fan would love to see their ID and blurb published on the front page.
The site is clearly aimed at Kansas University students, alum, fans, and locals of the city's campus. Still, it is possibly that anyone who reads the Lawrence Journal-World, owner of KUSports.com, LJW online, and it's print publication. Links to LJW Online are listed on KUSports.com, and vice versa. This is also another contributing factor to the professional look of the site. Actual journalists and photographers contribute and work for the website, enhancing its look over other sports websites on the net.
