Organizations
Tae Kwon Do
club
BY Jennifer Torline
editor@kansan.com
For members of the KU Tae Kwon
Do club, a typical meeting consists
of kicking and fighting with each
other.
Its a welcoming environment,
said Jacob Thibodeau, a Lawrence
senior who is a nontraditional stu-
dent and the instructor of the club.
We greet each other by kicking each
other in the head.
According to the World Tae Kwon
Do Federations Web site, Tae Kwon
Do is a type of Korean martial art
that teaches both fighting and dis-
cipline.
The Tae Kwon Do club started at
the University of Kansas in the late
1970s and has about 20 members.
Members meet for class at the
Student Recreation Fitness Center
three times a week on Sundays,
Mondays and Wednesdays. They
practice sets of exercises, spar with
one another and work on testing
to and help members reach higher
skill levels.
Different skill levels are shown
by the color of belt the martial artist
wears. A white belt signifies a begin-
ner while a black belt signifies the
highest level.
The workouts are challeng-
ing, said Miriam Maples, Lawrence
senior and club president. But if
you push yourself, then you can
make it through.
Members gain Tae Kwon Do skills
beyond the workouts. Thibodeau
said members tried to follow the five
tenets of Tae Kwon Do: courtesy,
integrity, perseverance, self-control
and indomitable spirit.
Hopefully they take these to class
and their professors and into their
lives, Thibodeau said.
In addition to weekly practic-
es, members attend belt testings
in Kansas City, Kan., every other
month and participate in tourna-
ments throughout the year in Kansas
City, Topeka and Wichita.
Everyone has their own reasons
for joining, whether its to get a
workout, to have fun, or to learn self-
defense, Maples said.
Thibodeau said Tae Kwon Do
also gave students an opportunity to
relieve stress and build character.
When you kick each other in
the head, you have to have trust,
Thibodeau said. I like the bond that
Ive created with everyone.
Students at all skill levels can join
the organization. Students interested
in joining can attend a club meeting
from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays or
Wednesdays at the recreation center.

odd news
Southeasts dry weather
benefts pecan harvesters
ALBANY, Ga. The record-long
drought gripping the Southeast
isnt all bad news: Its meant nearly
perfect weather for growing pecans
in Georgia.
The state is on pace to be the na-
tions top pecan producer this year,
with shellers predicting a harvest of
more than 125 million pounds, said
pecan horticulturist Lenny Wells of
the University of Georgias agricul-
ture extension.
Georgia was the nations third-
leading pecan producer last year.
The nations two other top produc-
ers New Mexico and Texas are
not expected to grow nearly as
much, Wells said.
New Mexicos crop is predicted
to be about 80 million pounds, and
Texas is expected to harvest 73 mil-
lion pounds, Wells said.
He also said Texas had heavy rains
this year, which encouraged disease
in pecan crops.
This year, Georgia had a spring
freeze that destroyed a few orchards
close to Augusta, but the drought
combined with irrigated orchards
and some August and September
rains have helped the pecan crop.
The nation produced almost 189
million pounds of pecans in 2006 in
the Pecan Belt a 15-state growing
region located in the southeastern
and southwestern United States. The
pecan harvest is expected to begin
in late November and will last about
six weeks.
odd news
Chinese use 2008 Olympics
to create childrens names
BEIJING The upcoming Beijing
Olympics is more than just a point of
pride for China its such an impor-
tant part of the national conscious-
ness that almost 3,500 children
have been named for the event, a
newspaper reported Sunday.
Many of the 3,491 people
with the name, Aoyun,meaning
Olympics, were born around the
year 2000, when Beijing was bidding
to play host to the 2008 Summer
Games, the Beijing Daily reported,
citing information from Chinas
national identity card database.
The majority of people named
Aoyun are male, the newspaper said.
Only six live in Beijing. The report
didnt say where the others live.
Names related to the Olympics
dont just stop with Olympics.More
than 4,000 Chinese people share
their names with the Beijing Games
mascots, the Five Friendlies.
The names are Bei Bei (880 peo-
ple), Jing Jing (1,240), Huan Huan
(1,063), Ying Ying (624) and Ni Ni
(642). When put together, the phrase
translates to Beijing welcomes you!
The Chinese have increasingly
turned to unique names as a way to
express a childs individuality.
In a country with a population
of 1.3 billion, 87 percent share the
same 129 family names. Thats why
5,598 people have the same name
as NBA player Yao Ming and 18,462
share a moniker with star hurdler Liu
Xiang, according to the Beijing Daily
report.
Parents have turned to unusual
combinations of letters, numbers
and symbols when choosing their
childs name, Li Yuming, deputy
director of the National Language
Commission, told the Xinhua News
Agency in an August interview.
At least one couple wanted to
call their child 1A,Yuming said,
while others use the e-mail address
symbol (at), which in Chinese is pro-
nounced Aita,meaning love him.

In a world where iPods and CDs
are the most common way to lis-
ten to music, some are looking to
the past for more creative ways to
hear their music. Brett Chloupek,
Harvard, Neb., graduate student, is
one of several students who don
iPods on campus, but his passion for
music lies in his vinyl record collec-
tion. Vinyl records have grown in
popularity in Lawrence over the past
few years.
Chloupek, who began collect-
ing vinyl records 10 years ago, has
almost 300 records in his collection
to date. He said his dad was the per-
son who got him into it.
He had a really big collection
when I was younger, and that got me
interested in them, Chloupek said.
Chloupek said his record collec-
tion was influ-
enced heavily by
his father.
I have a very
eccentric taste,
but older coun-
try and classical
vinyls are some
of my favorites,
he said.
C h l o u p e k
said he had a big
music collection
on his comput-
er, but he said he preferred vinyls
to digital music. Chloupek said he
visited various record and antique
stores on Massachusetts Street, vari-
ous garage sales and even the small
collection at Good Will, located at
2200 W. 31st St.
Joe Fox, Leavenworth sopho-
more, is also an avid vinyl record
collector. He said he began collecting
while he was in eighth grade when
he bought his first record player for
$15. He said he had always shopped
for vinyls in smaller thrift stores.
Thrift stores are where I go just
to see what they have, Fox said.
They really have good stuff there.
Fox said that he typically found
records for as cheap as 50 cents
and that he once found the original
Shaft movie soundtrack for a low
price.
Tim Dodd, assistant manager
of Half-Price Books, 1519 W. 23rd
St., said his store sold vinyl records
and that sales had been steady. He
said while he thought the popularity
of vinyls had never gone away, he
believed they were starting to make
a bigger jump in popularity over
the past five to 10 years because of
peoples personal preferences.
Depends on how you hear
things, Dodd said. People say
records are warmer than CDs that
are made of metal. There is a nos-
talgic sort of feeling about records,
similar to old books.
Ryan Nessmith, Lansing sopho-
more, began
collecting vinyl
records four
years ago when
he learned some
of his favorite
punk bands had
releases available
only on vinyls. He
said that since he
began collecting,
he had gained
80 LPs and 50
7-inch records,
and that proven durability was the
reason he thought many people col-
lected vinyl.
There are tests proven in the
1980s that vinyl has a far longer
sound shelf life than CDs will ever
have, Nessmith said.
He said packaging of a vinyl
record were also more appealing to
music lovers.
Dodd said there were vari-
ous kinds of customers who came
to the store, including those who
browsed for any title and those who
are diehard fans looking for specific
albums.
Chloupek said he noticed similar
people when he went shopping for
albums.
Once, I was in an old thrift
shop and this guy kept watching me
as I was browsing through an aisle
looking for an album, he said. He
kept staring over at me as I looked,
and he finally came up to me after a
while and told me he always looked
through the
section I had
been looking
at because he
bought certain
records to re-
sell at his own
stores.
K e l l y
Corcoran, a store
clerk at Love
Garden Sounds,
located at 936 1/2
Mass achus et t s
St., said vinyl buyers could purchase
albums for prices between 50 cents
and $65. He said that most albums
were in the $5 to $6 range, but that
once in a while some records could
cost up to $1,000. Love Garden
Sounds is one of the few stores that
specializes in the selling of vinyl
records. Corcoran said that they sold
well because of what they had to
offer.
Its just cooler than a CD, he
said. They offer a better format and
more of a format and art. I know I
wouldnt want to have all my music
just on my computer. Theres more
to it than an MP3.
F o x
said there was
something more
unique about
a vinyl records
compared with
CDs.

Vinyls are way
more tough
when it comes
to durability. A
CD messes up
quicker, Fox
said. And there is something cool
about saying you have that record
when you hear it as opposed to a
CD.

Homes still lie in rubble.
Staircases lead to nowhere, as the
houses around them are destroyed.
Federal Emergency Management
Agency trailers are still parked
where houses used to be. These
images are still vivid in Gretchen
Wielands mind.
Wieland, Sterling, Ill., senior,
and journalism and political sci-
ence major, spent six days in June
rebuilding houses in New Orleans
two years after Hurricane
Katrina. Her experiences during
those six summer days led her
to form an organization called
Project: Katrina Hope to raise
awareness and money for rebuild-
ing in New Orleans. Wieland
wants to raise $2,500 for the cause,
and she plans to return to New
Orleans in December to begin
filming a documentary about the
volunteer work in the area. She
plans to finish the film in March
and June.
I woke up one morning, and
I was like, Im going to make a
documentary, she said.
Wieland said that while much of
New Orleans was still devastated
and the media coverage had been
mostly negative, her documentary
would focus on the positives of
volunteers who are working to
give victims hope. Wieland said
that many of the volunteers there
had little experience in rebuilding
houses, but that they were still
committed to helping.
I really saw so many posi-
tives, she said. The residents are
so grateful for the volunteers. I
want to tell their stories.
To help with the project,
Wieland has assistance from stu-
dents in Illinois and current and
former University of Kansas stu-
dents. Crissy Del Percio, a May
graduate from Leawood, is co-
supervisor of Project: Katrina
Hope and helps with the planning
and consulting work. She said the
documentary was a way to show
that people do care.
If we get 10 people to say, I
want to help rebuild, or 100 peo-
ple to donate money, weve made a
difference, she said.
Shannon Mortimer, May 2007
graduate from Hoffman Estates,
Ill., is news coordinator for the
project. She will conduct inter-
views and help with the films pro-
duction in March. Mortimer said
she had never volunteered or been
to New Orleans before but was
looking forward to learning more
about the city and its people.
From what I hear, every volun-
teer that goes there has amazing
stories and experiences, Mortimer
said. I think something like this
will really change a person. There
is nothing more special than being
able to give back.
Wieland said that in the coming
weeks the organization would be
selling T-shirts on its Web site and
around campus. She said those
interested in making a donation
or helping with the project should
go to http://projectkatrinahope.
com.

Policy for evacuation based on
political correctness, not logic
Natural disasters are inevitable, but continually
rebuilding vulnerable cities smacks of stupidity
E
ver since Hurricane
Katrina decimated
New Orleans in 2005,
the crisis has been insepara-
bly tied to race. New Orleans
is more than two-thirds black,
while the nation as a whole is
less than one-seventh black. The
enormity of the event and the
perceived failure of government
response has led to criticism
such as that by Kanye West, who
famously declared on live televi-
sion, George Bush doesnt care
about black people.
Expanding the question be-
yond personalities and racial
groups, we can ask, Do gov-
ernment offcials care about
New Orleans residents? In the
fnal analysis, elected leaders
have been forced into policies
which harm the people of New
Orleans by the fear of appearing
racially insensitive.
When a destroyed city is over-
whelmingly white, there is little
variation in the response. The
Love Canal neighborhood of
Niagara Falls, N.Y., was evacu-
ated and demolished for fear
of toxic waste contamination
which has not been conclusive-
ly proven. Instead of waiting for
confrmation, the federal gov-
ernment spent nearly $400 mil-
lion to clean a questionably
contaminated site.
The mostly-Caucasian Times
Beach, Mo., was evacuated,
purchased and destroyed in a
move than some health experts
now question as unnecessary.
After spending $37 million on a
project now called a mistake by
former offcials, the site is now
a state park commemorating
Route 66.
A city in northern Pennsyl-
vania called Centralia has been
sitting atop an underground
coal fre for more than 40 years.
In the mid-1980s the predomi-
nantly white city was evacuated
and property was purchased un-
der imminent domain laws.
It seems safe to say that, if
you are white and your city is
threatened by contamination
or destruction (or even threat-
ened by threatening), you will
be forced to move. New Or-
leans, however, has made a
point of pride of demanding
the federal government spend
taxpayer money to allow the
rebuilding of a waterfront town
that is more than 50 percent be-
low sea level.
If this seems like a recipe for
disaster, it is. Two weeks ago
New Orleans experienced heavy
rainfall that led to fooding in
many neighborhoods. But as
long as water continues to roll
downhill (which, as of press
time this morning, was still the
case), New Orleans will contin-
ue to food.
How many times must New
Orleans be fooded before its
no longer rebuilt? Instead of
rebuilding, the city must be re-
placed, either physically (having
residents move to safer areas)
or functionally (designing a city
that can withstand the laws of
nature).
But again, practicality has
met its match in the form of ra-
cial consideration. While Love
Canal, Times Beach and Cen-
tralia were all predominantly
white areas, New Orleans (and
especially the lowest region)
has mostly black residents. This
takes government policy from
the realm of disaster response
and makes it a de facto racial
response. This is the apparent
logic behind Kanye Wests criti-
cism, and this is the reason that
the unfortunate people of New
Orleans are being allowed to set
themselves up for further trag-
edy.
A color-blind response would
be evacuation, like what hap-
pened in previous cases. But
because policy cannot be di-
vorced from race, the easiest
way to avoid charges of racism
is to promote solutions that
disproportionately hurt a single
minority group. In the old days
that would be called racism,
but these days thats just called
compassion.

Lawrence full of talented musicians
A
recent column titled,
Made up names
alone do not make
the band posed the question.
Is it good to support something
that is just plain bad? Id like
to delve a little further into that
issue.
First off, there are indeed
many sub-par musicians in
Lawrence. I should know; as a
former member of KJHKs Live
Events staff, I spent fve hours,
three years in a row wading
through complete crap to fnd
eight talented groups to compete
in KJHKs local music competi-
tion. Many of these bands were
awful; vocalists crying like pre-
pubescents and dancing in ba-
nana outfts, threatening to dev-
astate your auditory system. For
every one of those bands, there
was at least one local talent that
I was thrilled to support.
Lawrence has been the home
to many talented groups, includ-
ing the Anniversary, Ad Astra Per
Aspera, Ghosty, Danny Pound
Band, the Embarrassments, The
Get Up Kids (technically from
Kansas City) and Kelly Hunt.
Even the drummer from Flam-
ing Lips lives here (or at least he
did), so if youre generous the
Flaming Lips might qualify as
semi-local (and if youre being
super generous, you could even
include Charlie Parker). These
bands are all frst-rate, not just
in my opinion, but in the opin-
ion of national music critics like
Pitchfork Media and the College
Music Journal.
I think its fair to assume that
these bands prospered because
of the immense support they re-
ceived from the Lawrence com-
munity. I also think that local
music shouldnt necessarily be
designated a genre so much as
it should be a call to the artist
community to lend its support.
Calling these bands local
doesnt mean they all sound the
same; it means that Lawrence
is proud to be such an artistic
community.
I fear that people misunder-
stand what it means to sup-
port local music. No, I do not
fnancially support every band
in Douglas County by purchas-
ing every three-song EP they
record in their garage. My idea
of support is to stand behind
people who want to pursue their
dreams, whether it means I give
a dollar to someone playing on
the street, call a radio station
to request a song or applaud an
opening band.
If people think that know-
ing three guitar chords qualifes
them to lead a band, I say, Go
for it! Think about itfor every
Picasso, there are a million so-
called artists attempting to sell
their fnger paintings. For every
Michael Jordan, there are a mil-
lion mediocre basketball players
attempting to dunk with their
tongues wagging. And for every
Keith Moon, there are a mil-
lion drummers with no sense of
rhythm. There is nothing wrong
with that. Music lovers should
be open to anyone with a desire
to create music, because even-
tually they will get that gem.
As Freddie Mercury once said,
Talent will out, my dear!
And consider this. Many be-
loved rock idols supported each
other locally as they devel-
oped their music styles playing
in coffee houses and bars. Be-
fore he was a Beatle, John Len-
non played in a skiffe band in
small pubs. If no one had sup-
ported him at the local level, he
may not have met Paul McCart-
ney and George Harrison and
the Beatles might never have
existed. Robert Johnson, the
Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan
certainly struggled before they
became legends. Local support
was necessary for these talents
to fourish.
Just as no one should listen
to local music simply because
it is local, no one should listen
to The Who and Coltrane sim-
ply because they are legends.
Whether you start listening to
a different radio station, bor-
row some of your friends CDs,
scour the Internet for new music
reviews or attend more concerts
(with local as well as national
acts), you should make an ef-
fort to discover new things. You
should support music in general
because it is an important part
of contemporary culture and al-
ways make an effort to expand
your tastes.

L
awrences music scene
is alive and well.
Its something Ive heard a lot:
Local music sucks. And Fri-
days article, Made up names
alone do not make the band
continued to fan the unfortu-
nate fame against all things
Lawrence, at least musically.
As someone who works to pro-
mote Lawrences unique crop of
talented musicians and its pow-
erhouse media outlets, I have to
say, I disagree.
In 2005, The New York
Times Seth Sherwood wrote
about spending 36 Hours in
Lawrence, Kansas. He sug-
gested that the proper Saturday
night be spent with the wealth
of infuential local music pour-
ing out of any given venue.
It may only be rock n roll,
but Ghosty, the Appleseed Cast,
the New Amsterdams and other
young bands are playing it with
such virtuosity that Lawrence is
now perhaps the most vital mu-
sic scene between Chicago and
Denver, Sherwood wrote. So
who are these bands, you ask?
A nostalgic tour a few years
back and a brief search on Law-
rence.com yields answers. In
the 1990s, Lawrence welcomed
musical fame from rock and roll
frontrunner The Get Up Kids,
and they enjoyed the success
of hundreds of thousands of
album sales and tour appear-
ances with Weezer and Green
Day. The Anniversary, a former
band whose members now fnd
themselves active in countless
other local projects, lists touring
with Dashboard Confessional
and Ben Kweller as achieve-
ments. Another local outft, The
Belles, found huge success in
Europe, including music videos
featured on MTV Italy. Their
single Omerta can be heard
on an episode of Dawsons
Creek, and Disarmed was
featured on an episode of One
Tree Hill.
While recording their album
Grow Up or Sleep In, Ghosty
enjoyed a surprise visit from
Wayne Coyne of the Flaming
Lips. The result was a guest vo-
cal appearance by Coyne, and
Ghosty returned the favor by as-
sisting on the Lips A Change
at Christmas (Say It Aint So)
track. Theyve been featured in
Entertainment Weekly, and you
can catch them playing in the
area regularly. Doris Henson
toured with Billy Corgan of the
Smashing Pumpkins. Other stel-
lar local bands include White
Whale, Minus Story, Split Lip
Rayfeld, Kill Creek, the Esoter-
ic, Ad Astra Per Aspera, White
Flight and countless others this
letter is too short to contain.
And I havent even touched the
local hip hop scene.
To say that, the problem
with supporting local music
is that, quite simply, most of it
is awful is a gross oversight
of what Lawrence has. Yes, it
takes time and dedication to sift
through the menagerie of self-
proclaimed musicians Lawrence
harbors, but its not impossible,
and the benefts are rewarding.
Luckily, there are outlets to help
you. Lawrence.com features a
current local show listing and
an impressive database of mp3s
and bios, and 90.7 KJHK hosts a
radio program, Plow the Fields
(Saturdays 4 to 6 p.m.), devoted
entirely to local music.
You can have your Stravin-
sky and Coltrane with a side of
Ghosty and White Whale, too.

Kansas had dropped 76 points on Nebraska,
and I had my column.
Nebraska fans probably would have loved
it, especially those waving Kevin Cosgroves
noose in the air. I was going to declare that
I literally could have stepped in at defensive
coordinator and allowed 76 points or less,
referencing my extensive background in EA
Sports NCAA College Football.
Then Cosgrove, after a long, long delay
after the game, stepped out from the visitors
locker room, misty-eyed and quiet. He held
his lips as stiff as he could, but the corners of
his mouth quivered and turned down. There
wasnt much to say, and from the looks of the
lump in his throat, he wasnt able to say much
anyway.
Im sick about it, Cosgrove said. Just sick
about it.
Im not going to offer excuses or explana-
tions. Theres nowhere to begin, and nothing
you can say to spin 11 touchdowns. I could
fill the front page with criticism, but theres
enough of that out there.
So much, in fact, that I wonder if its too
much.
Its pretty clear Cosgrove has two games left
as a Cornhusker three if youre extremely
optimistic. Im not sure theres anyone like that
left out there.
From the first loss against USC, Cosgrove
has been lambasted, criticized, insulted and
tossed to the side. Even before the sixth loss,
when Nebraskas defense hit historic lows
across the board, the surest thing about this
football team was that Cosgrove was a goner.
Whats the point in carrying it on?
Negativity is addictive. And Nebraska fans,
encouraged by the media, are bastardizing
their defensive coordinator, it would appear,
just for the fun of it.
Pretty sick. Especially from those who
consider themselves the greatest fans in the
nation.
Cosgrove has failed miserably this season.
The defense has gone downhill. Theres no
way he could ever stay at Nebraska, not even
with three straight shutouts.
shroyer@kansan.com
To say Kansas made a statement with its
76-39 victory against Nebraska would be an
understatement.
According to ABCs broadcast team during
the Texas-Oklahoma State game, Cowboys fans
gasped when the Kansas score appeared on the
JumboTron in Boone Pickens Stadium. Teams just
arent supposed to touch the 70s in November.
Nothing short of a 37-point beatdown would
have lived up to the hype of homecoming, com-
plete with a pregame fly-over, sky divers and
a hippie dancing in the front row of the west
bleachers. In the end, Nebraskas 36-year domi-
nance over Kansas was a distant memory.
But, make no mistake, Saturdays blowout
came against a deeply flawed Nebraska team,
which lost five consecutive games.
The Cornhuskers are still under the direc-
tion of lame duck coach Bill Callahan, who
is incapable of inspiring greatness out of his
team. I dont think theres a single player on
his roster willing to lay it all on the line for
him at this point in the season.
Nebraskas offense was led by quarterback
Joe Ganz, who made his first collegiate start.
By the second quarter, it was apparent that
Callahan had abandoned his running game
and Ganzs inexperience came to the fore-
front with four ensuing interceptions.
Nebraskas defense (formerly known as the
Blackshirts) again proved to be softer than a
Tempur-Pedic mattress. Ranked dead last in
the NCAA in rushing defense, Nebraska actu-
ally improved its season average by holding
Kansas to 218 yards on the ground. By the end
of the third quarter, with Kansas leading 69-31,
Nebraska interim athletic director and three-
time National Champion coach Tom Osborne
had already placed an order for a custom-made
casket to rest in when his time came.
Nevertheless, Kansas dominance was
downright scary. Offensively, the Jayhawks
took the fight out of the Cornhuskers. After
a three-and-out on its first drive, Kansas
had only three other drives that failed to net
points. Two were a result of Kansas running
out the clock at the end of each half, and the
third ended with a missed 51-yard field goal
attempt.
Although Anthony Webb continued to be a
non-factor returning punts, the Kansas offense
didnt need him, stringing together five drives
of at least 60 yards for touchdowns. For the
second straight game, Brandon McAnderson
couldnt be stopped. And Todd Reesing went
Tom Brady on the Pinkshirts, throwing a
school-record six touchdown passes com-
pared with just 11 incompletions.
Kansas 76 points were the most ever sur-
rendered by a Nebraska team (although that
record could fall again as long as Callahan is
coach) and the list of offensive records went on
from there for Kansas.
Defensively, it looked initially that Kansas
secondary had been exposed. Ganz threw for
266 yards and burned All-American Aqib Talib
twice for touchdowns in the first half. But the
front four turned up the heat on Ganz, and the
secondary tightened up, allowing only 139 yards
in the second half, when Nebraska running back
Marlon Lucky was in the backfield mostly for
show. Kudos to defensive coordinator Bill Young
for making the necessary adjustments.
In fact, kudos to the entire Kansas foot-
ball team. When youre down to your final
three games of the season and your biggest
concerns are your punt return and punting
game, things couldnt be much better.
The Jayhawks are starting to make a believer
out of me and thats saying something.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers visited the
Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday, and the game
was an absolute blowout. Theres nothing
unusual about that statement.
What was strange about Saturdays game
was that the Jayhawks were the ones doing
the dominating.
For the better part of the last half-cen-
tury, Nebraska pushed Kansas around, win-
ning 37 of the teams last 38 match-ups.
Saturday, the No. 5 Jayhawks played the role
of Big 12 bully, turning the tables and rout-
ing the Cornhuskers, 76-39.
With the victory, Kansas moved into
fifth in The Associated Press and Coaches
polls and fourth in the BCS standings while
securing its first ever 5-0 start in confer-
ence play and first 9-0 start since 1908. The
Jayhawks 76 points set a school record for
the most scored in a conference game and
easily surpassed the teams previous high
of 40 points against Nebraska (4-6, 1-5 Big
12). Kansas actually passed that mark by
halftime, scoring 48 points before the end of
the second quarter.
Nebraska has a good tradition, and
they always play hard, senior wide receiver
Marcus Henry said. So to look up and see
that score on the scoreboard was pretty
amazing.
The Jayhawk offense looked impressive
the entire game, but the defense suffered
through several rough stretches early in
the game. Nebraska, which had relied on
its strong running game all season, threw
Kansas a change-up by going to the air early
and often. In the first half alone, Nebraska
junior quarterback Joe Ganz threw for 266
yards and two touchdowns, leading two
solid scoring drives in the first 12 minutes
of play.
They threw the ball a lot, Kansas coach
Mark Mangino said. We did not anticipate
them throwing the ball as much as they did
because they had not done that all year. We
were caught a little bit off-guard.
By the opening minutes of the second
quarter, it was clear that high-powered
offense would be the theme of Saturdays
game. The teams combined for 35 points
in the first quarter, and neither showed any
sign of slowing down early in the second
quarter. Every time Kansas looked primed
to pull away and stretch its lead, Nebraska
used its most potent weapon, senior wide
receiver Maurice Purify, to crawl back into
the game.
Trailing 28-14 early in the second quar-
ter, Ganz connected with Purify, who was
streaking past Kansas junior cornerback
Kendrick Harper, for a 60-yard gain down
the middle of the field. After the long pass,
the Kansas coaches adjusted the defensive
secondary to keep junior cornerback Aqib
Talib on Purify at all times. The challeng-
ing match-up did not faze Purify. Two plays
after the 60-yard pass, Ganz lofted the ball
into the air to Purify in the corner of the end
zone. Purify, at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds,
muscled his way through Talib and to the
ball to put six points on the scoreboard.
With 9:44 to play in the first half, Nebraska
and Kansas were tangled in a 28-21 shoot-
out.
From that point on, Kansas patched up its
imperfections and performed like the unde-
feated powerhouse the way it has all season.
Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing
led the Jayhawks on a four-play, 61-yard
drive that lasted only one minute and seven
seconds to extend his teams lead to 14
points. The defense stiffened and allowed
just 15 yards on the next two Nebraska
drives combined and held the team dormant
long enough for the offense to score three
more touchdowns before halftime.
After yielding four touchdowns on the
Cornhuskers first nine drives, the Jayhawk
defense made adjustments in the third quar-
ter, intercepting three passes and recover-
ing a fumble. Sophomore safeties Darrell
Stuckey and Justin Thornton had momen-
tum-killing interceptions in the second half
that set the offense up with prime field posi-
tion, and Nebraska scored only one touch-
down in the games final 25 minutes. By that
time, the reserves were on the field, and the
game was all but over.
We went right back to our fundamentals
and focused on our responsibilities, junior
linebacker Mike Rivera said. We tried to
keep it simple, just reading our progressions
and dropping into our spots. We came in at
halftime and talked about that and got some

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Green Bay Packers tight end Donald Lee runs for a 48-yard gain as he is chased by Kansas City
Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard during the second quarter on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. The Pack-
ers defeated the Chiefs 33-22, only its third ever victory against Kansas City.
Chiefs cheesed NEbRASkA
(continued from 1b)
But there are positives, too, as
much as no one wants to admit it.
Cosgrove has taken the situation
in stride. He could have thrown
people under the bus. He could
have quit trying.
He could have resigned mid-
season, like so many people have
been requesting. Its an easy out,
albeit a cop out.
Look at Texas Tech. Its defen-
sive coordinator, Lyle Setencich,
resigned one day after a 49-45
loss to Oklahoma State. Tech has
struggled this year more than in
most seasons, and the defense is
pressing on after its coach walked
away and left the players alone in
a season of turmoil.
Why people would want
Cosgrove to do the same is beyond
me. The right thing to do is to fin-
ish the job, to stand by his players.
Quitting when things get tough is
a terrible life lesson to teach the
young men in your care. And it
isnt just about winning games.
Even if it were, what would
Cosgroves departure do for win-
ning? There wont be any other
reputable coordinator willing
to come in and finish the job.
To suggest that cutting a coach
from a staff would improve its
performance is the kind of thing
that comes from the mouths of
those who dont really know what
theyre talking about.
And maybe I could have
stepped in on game day and held
Kansas to 76 points or less. Theres
no way to ever know. But could
I have led practices, or worked
with individual players to improve
their performance or recruited
worth anything? Could I have
devoted the time and effort in
game preparation, or mentored
young men, or kept my cool when
everyone with a mouth tried to
tear me down?
No. Neither could you. Thats
not a criticism, either. Its the
truth.
So Cosgrove has one home
game remaining next weeekend,
when the fans are sure to be hos-
tile towards him. When he walks
off the field, it would be nice to
think the fans would at least show
him appreciation for trying.
Thats what the greatest fans
in college football would do. Well
see if they live up to their billing.

Nebraska defensive coordinator
Kevin Cosgrove stripped the NU
defensive starters of its blackshirts
two weeks ago.
The black jerseys were a sacred
tradition for the Nebraska football
teamand worn by the eleven starters
everyday at practice. They accom-
panied the Cornhuskers during five
national championships from 1970
to 1997. Cosgrove said he took the
privilege away, thinking the defense
would earn themback.
But after a 76-39 loss to Kansas,
the Nebraska defense has a better
chance at solving global starvation
than getting the coveted practice jer-
seys returned. Nebraska head coach
Bill Callahan was bombarded with
questions from reporters asking how
he would repair the defense.
If I knew the answers to all those
questions, I wouldnt be answering
this one, Callahan said. Its just
been very difficult for a lot of rea-
sons. Im not the type of person or
coach to ever sit up here and give
an excuse and Im not going to start
right now.
The Jayhawks 76 points were the
most scored on the Cornhuskers in
Nebraskas history. Nebraska also sur-
rendered 572 total yards to Kansas
and allowed it to score a touchdown
on 10 straight possessions.
The performance of the defense
was particularly frustrating to the
Cornhusker offense. Led by junior
quarterback Joe Ganzs 405 yards and
four touchdowns in his first career
start, Nebraska attacked the Kansas
defense like no other team had this
season. Senior wide receiver Maurice
Purify said it was hard to accept that
39 points wasnt enough.
Im not saying you cant worry
about the defense, but we have our
job to do, he said. Our job is just as
hard as the defenses job, and we cant
do both of them.
Purify wasnt the only Cornhusker
letting out his negative emotions.
The score was 62-31 late in the third
quarter when Kansas running back
Brandon McAnderson pushed for-
ward for one of his teams 12 success-
ful third-down conversions.
Nebraska defensive lineman
Kevin Dixon exited the field yelling
at teammates and flailing his arms
after the play. Senior safety Bryan
Wilson said the incident represented
the defenses feelings in a game where
it totally collapsed.
Its so far out there, its such a
stretch, it has never happened to
guys on this team, Wilson said. So
we kind of didnt know what to do
about it.
EverythingtheKansasoffensetried
on Nebraska worked. The secondary
did nothing to prevent Jayhawk soph-
omore quarterback Todd Reesing
fromthrowing six touchdown passes.
The defensive line was dominated all
day as McAnderson rushed for four
touchdowns.
Were trying to do everything we
can; theres no other options referring
to coaching changes and things of
the nature, Callahan said. We are
going to do the best we can to finish
this season with this staff.
When asked whether the men-
tion of coaching changes meant he
and Cosgroves relationship had dete-
riorated because of the poor defense,
Callahan refused to comment.
Few Nebraska fans remained in
Memorial Stadiumafter the blowout.
But the ones who stayed took notice
when Nebraska athletic director Tom
Osbourne, who led the Cornhuskers
to three national championships as a
coach, walked by.
They greeted Osbourne with
screams of Help us, Tom. After
giving up the most points ever in
Nebraska history, its going to take
more than Osbourne to get the start-
ing defense its blackshirts back.

THE WEEKEND WRAP-UP
things corrected.
Fortunately for the Jayhawk
defense, the offense kept the team
in the game during the first half by
scoring three first quarter touch-
downs and 48 first-half points. The
Nebraska defense, which entered
Saturday as the nations worst run-
stopping unit, stood helpless against
an energetic and creative Kansas
offense. Kansas gained 23 yards on
an end-around run by Henry and
11 yards on a flea-flicker pass to
freshman wide receiver Dezmon
Briscoe.
Reesing executed offensive
coordinator Ed Warinners cre-
ative schemes with near perfec-
tion Saturday and finished with the
most impressive statistical line of
his career. The quarterback record-
ed 354 yards on 30-of-41 passing
and set a new Kansas single-game
record with six touchdown passes.
Briscoe caught three touchdowns,
and Henry gained 101 yards on six
receptions.
We have a lot of different things
we can do on offense, Reesing said.
Were not really limited by one
thing so, depending on what the
defense is going to do, were going
to pull out whatever we have to.
They were moving the ball and we
needed to counteract that and move
the ball too.
Using a mix of daring deep passes
and standard off-tackle runs, the
Jayhawks engineered impressive
drives throughout the game and
put together one of the finest offen-
sive performances in the programs
history. The Jayhawks scored the
third most points in a single game
in school history, and at one point,
they scored touchdowns on 10 con-
secutive drives.
We just said, Lets keep running
the offense; lets just see if we can
keep rolling with our offense and
run our system and let the kids con-
tinue to make plays, Mangino said.
I didnt think wed score 76 points,
but by the time we got to the middle
of the third quarter, I knew we were
going to score a lot of points.
The Jayhawk run game also
showed little room for improve-
ment, topping 200 rushing yards for
the third time in the last four games.
Senior running back Brandon
McAnderson piled up 119 yards and
four touchdowns and sophomore
running back Jake Sharp added
44 yards and a touchdown. Most
importantly, the Kansas offense
did not turn the ball over, forcing
Nebraska to start drives from an
average position of its own 27-yard
line.
We arent beating ourselves,
McAnderson said. In the past, it
had been one of our huge problems.
This year we have a different men-
tality, and were more mature.
Nebraska entered the game in a
tailspin and left Lawrence still spin-
ning. The Cornhuskers extended
their losing streak to five games and
fell into a tie for last place in the Big
12 North standings. To add insult
to injury, Kansas 76-point outburst
marked the most points Nebraska
has ever allowed in a single game.
Despite Nebraskas status as one
of the most disappointing teams in
the nation, Kansas decisive victory
was impressive because the team
did exactly what it needed to do:
stay undefeated and make a positive
impression on pollsters and media
around the nation.
A decade ago, Nebraska was the
team routinely scoring more than
50 points and rolling to 9-0 starts. In
2007, Kansas is that team.

Senior tight end Derek fine runs the ball down the feld during Kansas victory over Nebraska
Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The KU football teamhasnt been 9-0 since 1908.
The game was over when
The Kansas defense held
Nebraska to two straight three-
and-outs in the third quarter.
Until the middle of the third
quarter, the game had been an
ofensive free-for-all. Nebraska
scored on its frst possession of
the second half to pull within
17 points, but Kansas stopped
the team dead in their tracks on
its next two possessions. Dur-
ing this stretch, Kansas opened
up a 69-31 lead.
Game to rememberTodd
Reesing. The Kansas sopho-
more quarterback put together
an unreal stat line against
Nebraska. He set a single-game
school record with six passing
touchdowns, threw for 354
yards and displayed pinpoint
accuracy by completing 77.5
percent of his passes. Dont be
surprised if his name is men-
tioned in the Heisman talk in
the coming weeks.
Game to forget Nebraska
defensive coordinator Kevin
Cosgrove. Saturday afternoon
was as painful for Cosgrove as
it was pleasant for Reesing and
the Jayhawks. With the coach-
ing stafs job security already
in question and the Nebraska
defense last in the nation in run
defense, a 76-39 drubbing was
not the sort of boost Cosgroves
career needed.
Stat of the game10. At one
point, Kansas put together 10
consecutive touchdown drives.
After punting on the frst pos-
session of the game, the Jay-
hawks scored a touchdown on
every single drive until a missed
feld goal late in the third
quarter. Five minutes after the
missed feld goal, Kansas scored
again for its 11th touchdown in
13 drives.
Asher Fusco
KANSAS, NOTKANSASSTATE
It was a rough day all around for
Kansas State. The Wildcats suffered
an embarrassing loss at the hands of
the Iowa State Cyclones and received
several boos several hundred miles
south in Memorial Stadium. The
first round of unrest came when
one of the pregame skydivers land-
ed near midfield sporting a silver
and purple parachute. About two
quarters later, referee Randy Christal
made a shameful slip-up, announc-
ing a Kansas timeout as a timeout
taken by Kansas State. At that point,
the crowd showered Christal with
an unfriendly serenade of boos until
he turned his microphone on and
announced, Correction correc-
tion. Kansas.
RECORD-BREAKING
ATTENDANCE
The numbers on the scoreboard
werent the only big figures involved
in Saturdays game. The announced
attendance of 51,910 set an all-time
Memorial Stadium record, breaking
the mark set at last years Kansas
State game. The announced atten-
dance at Memorial Stadium has
topped 40,000 in each game this
season most likely a biproduct of
the Jayhawks 9-0 start.
HOlDINGONTO THE BAll
Sophomore quarterback Todd
Reesings 30-of-41 passing perfor-
mance was his most accurate of the
season. Of course, it helps when
the receivers catch the ball. Kansas
receivers dropped just one pass
against Nebraska, a drastic improve-
ment from the groups performance
in recent weeks. After the game,
coach Mark Mangino and Reesing
both credited the receiving corps
for its steady effort. Eight Jayhawks
made at least one catch, and three
gained more than 50 receiving
yards.
STuFFING THE RuN
There wasnt much defense to
speak of in the 76-39 game, but the
Kansas run defense fared well. The
Jayhawks gave up just 89 yards, 67
of which came in the fourth quar-
ter when the game was far out of
the Cornhuskers reach. Nebraska
junior running back Marlon Lucky,
who entered the contest ranked third
in the Big 12 Conference in rush-
ing yards, mustered only 15 yards
on eight carries. Freshman running
back Roy Helu paced Nebraska with
56 rushing yards on nine carries.
Junior linebacker Mike Rivera was
the most crucial cog in the Kansas
run defense, making a team-high
seven tackles and forcing a fumble.
TOuCHDOwNTODDREESING
Reesing made some large-scale
improvements to his impressive
resume Saturday.
In addition to
setting the sin-
gle-game school
passing touch-
down record (6),
Reesing set a new
Kansas single-
season pass-
ing touchdown
record (23). His 26 career touch-
down passes are fourth in school
history, and his 2,543 passing yards
rank 11th on the all-time school
list. Reesing is now ranked 16th in
the nation in passing efficiency. The
Austin, Texas, native also garnered
some praise from teammates and
coaches. Mangino said the quar-
terback had the chance to be the
best quarterback he had ever been
associated with in his entire coach-
ing career, and senior wide receiv-
er Marcus Henry said he thought
Reesing should contend for the
Heisman trophy this season.
RENAISSANCE MAN
Versatile sophomore receiver/
quarterback Kerry Meier enjoyed
what might have been his best all-
around game of the season last
Saturday. Meier
had a career-high
four receptions
for 42 yards,
scored his first
career receiving
touchdown, car-
ried the ball once
for five yards
and even played
quarterback in the fourth quarter.
Because the game was already out
of hand, Meier did not attempt any
passes while playing quarterback.
Meier is the first Kansas player to
earn at least one rushing, one receiv-
ing and one passing touchdown in a
season since Garfield Taylor accom-
plished the feat in 1981.
THE NEBRASKA BluES
Saturday afternoon was ugly in a
few different ways for the once-proud
Nebraska Cornhuskers. The loss was
just Nebraskas second in the past
39 games of the series, and Kansas
gained more yards and scored more
points than any Nebraska opponent
in the 117-year, 1,179-game history
of the program. The Cornhuskers
current five-game losing streak is
their longest since 1958, and they
are now tied for 10th in the Big 12
Conference standings, ahead of only
Baylor. Junior quarterback Joe Ganz
rolled up 405 passing yards in the
first start of his career, but struggled
mightily in the second half. Overall,
Ganz completed just 50 percent of
his passes and threw four intercep-
tions.
NOT-SO-SPECIAl TEAMS
Kansas special teams were a
mixed bag against Nebraska, to say
the least. Senior punter Kyle Tucker
nearly had his first and only punt
blocked, barely getting it off in time
but booting the
ball sky-high
and just 22
yards down-
field. Nebraska
took over at the
Kansas 46-yard
line and used the
short field to its
advantage, scor-
ing a touchdown about four minutes
later. Kansas kicker Scott Webb set a
single-game school record by mak-
ing 10 point-after-TDs, but missed
one point-after attempt and his
only field goal attempt. Junior wide
receiver Marcus Herford enjoyed an
outstanding effort returning kickoffs.
He recorded two 49-yard returns
and averaged 33.8 yards per return
overall. Herford entered the game
ranked first in the Big 12 in yards per
kick return.

The opening minutes were a
struggle, but a 19-4 run during 10
minutes of the first half sparked
Kansas to an 82-48 exhibition vic-
tory against Pittsburg State Sunday
night in Allen Fieldhouse.
I thought offensively we did
a good job of sharing the ball.
Defensively we had great energy, but
we are going to have to get a little
better on one-on-one defense, said
head coach Bonnie Henrickson.
Pittsburg State forward Larissa
Richards caused match-up prob-
lems for Kansas on both ends of
the court early. The freshman had
four points and five blocks in the
first half.
Why we couldnt figure out a
shot fake might be necessary after
her third block, I dont really under-
stand, Henrickson said.
Sophomore Porscha Weddington
came in and limited Richards effect
on the game, which then allowed
fellow sophomore Danielle McCray
to take over.
McCray finished with a game-
high 20 points, also adding seven
rebounds, four assists and two
steals.
Like Henrickson, though,
McCray recognizes that her team
must improve defensively.
We need to focus on our
defense, especially getting over to
help, McCray said. That was a big
problem tonight.
The Jayhawks went into half-
time with an 11-point lead despite
shooting just 30 percent from the
field. But they came out on fire in
the second half, scoring the first
nine points.
Sophomore Sade Morris chipped
in with 15 points, Weddington tal-
lied 8 and senior Taylor McIntosh
pulled down a game-high 11
rebounds.
Also getting into the action was
freshman Nicollette Smith, who
scored nine points, six of which
came from two three-pointers.
She is a good player, but we
have to be better on how we get her
the ball, Henrickson said about
Smith.
Henrickson said Kansas would
have plenty to work on before its
second and final exhibition game
with Emporia State on Thursday
night.
Emporia State is ranked No. 3 in
the nation in Division II.

Morningstar takes redshirt;
Self agrees with decision
Brady Morningstar will have
to wait another season to see
whether he can make a diference
for the Jayhawks.
Morningstar, a sophomore
guard, decided to take a redshirt
this season. Hell be able to play
again next year and have three
years of eligibility remaining.
This is a good play for him,
Kansas coach Bill Self said in a press
release. I think hell be a better
player as a ffth-year senior.
Morningstar was the only player
who did not enter last Thursdays
exhibition victory against Pittsburg
State. Last season, he averaged 2.1
points while playing in 16 games.
Self said Morningstar had
considered taking a redshirt for a
while because he would not have
had much playing time this season.
Guards Sherron Collins, Russell
Robinson, Mario Chalmers, Bran-
don Rush, Tyrel Reed and Rodrick
Stewart were all ahead of Morning-
star in the rotation.
It was the right decision for
me, Morningstar said. Im looking
forward to working as hard as I can
to contribute to this program.

Jayhawks tame Gorillas
BY ANDREW WiEBE

From the time players first
pick up a ball, coaches empha-
size the importance of making
layups and taking advantage of
open shots.
During the first half of yester-
day afternoons season opener
against Pittsburg State, Kansas
players seemed to have forgot-
ten that simple lesson.
The Jayhawks missed nine
times in the paint in the first
half, including on a variety of
uncontested layups. Normally
reliable players like senior
forward Taylor McIntosh and
junior forward Marija Zinic
shot a combined 1-for-8 from
the field as Kansas struggled to
push its lead into double digits.
We have got to make high-
percentage shots, and weve got
to get to the offensive glass,
coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Kansas accomplished the lat-
ter but couldnt capitalize on
second chances. Despite out-
rebounding the Gorillas 33
to 13 in the first half, includ-
ing 15 offensive rebounds, the
Jayhawks didnt take advantage
of their rebounding margin as
the team shot 32 percent from
the field.
Well, a lot of those rebounds
for us came off missed shots,
Henrickson said. We some-
times played catch with our-
selves when we would miss
three of four shots.
Sophomore guard Danielle
McCray said the teams strug-
gles finishing in the first half
were a result of rushed shots.
Kansas had plen-
ty of reasons to be rushed,
with 6-foot-3 freshman for-
ward Larissa Richards provid-
ing protection around the rim
for Pittsburg State. Richards
blocked five shots in the open-
ing period and helped limit
Kansas to only 10 points in the
paint.
Henrickson said she was
unhappy with her teams inabil-
ity to adjust to Richards defen-
sive presence in the first half,
especially players coming off
the bench.
Kansas made the necessary
adjustments after halftime and
shot 54 percent from the field
while limiting Richards to two
blocks and nearly doubling its
offensive output.
We kind of made her look
like an All-American, McCray
said. She had some good blocks
and coach just told us to pump
fake because she was going for
everything.

The Kansas swimming and div-
ing team capped a busy weekend
in the water with a victory against
N e b r a s k a -
Omaha Saturday,
just 48 hours
after losing to
the Arkansas
Lady Razorbacks
in Robinson
Natatorium.
On a day when
the football team
could not be stopped by Nebraska,
the swimming team was equally
impressive, winning all of the meets
events and rolling to a 153-67 victo-
ry over Nebraska-Omaha. A Kansas
swimmer took first in every race and
the teams overall dual meet record
this season moves to 2-2.
It was our first dual meet in the
morning, swimming coach Clark
Campbell said, noting that the Big 12
Championships and other big races
late in the season begin early in the
day. Being able to swim fast in the
morning is a crucial part of our plan
for the season.
Junior Ashley Ledigh recorded
a pair of victories in the 50-yard
freestyle and the 50-yard butterfly
while sophomore Emily Lanteigne
won the 100-yard freestyle and was a
member of the winning team for the
200-yard freestyle relay.
The 86-point victory against
Nebraska-Omaha came just two
days after a one point defeat to the
Arkansas Lady Razorbacks by a
score of 150.5-149.5.
Thursday night featured many
close races and lead changes in the
team scores throughout the compe-
tition. In the end, Arkansas pulled
out the victory, despite great efforts
by Jayhawk swimmers and divers.
Freshman Erin Mertz tied for
first place in the three-meter div-
ing event and the 800-yard freestyle
relay team of sophomores Ashley
Robinson and Emily Lanteigne,
junior Maria Mayrovich, and senior
Terri Schramka claimed a victory in
the competition.
The meet could have gone either
way, Campbell said. For where
we are and what we are trying to
accomplish this year, we are right on
schedule.
Mayrovich continued her impres-
sive season on Thursday, setting
another pool record, this time in the
100-yard freestyle race. On Oct. 26,
Mayrovich broke the previous record
for the 200-yard freestyle for a swim-
mer in Robinson Natatorium.
Maria is really starting off the
year about as good as you can,
Campbell said. She is not only
improving herself, but she is also
raising the bar for the rest of the
team.
The Jayhawks travel to Springfield,
Mo., for their next dual competition
against Drury University at 1 p.m.
on Saturday.

In their last game of the regular
season, the Jayhawks played the best
they have this year.
Kansas wrapped up its regular
season with a 2-1 victory against No.
18 Missouri Friday. The victory was
the third straight for the Jayhawks.
Although it was Senior Day, one
freshman Jayhawk outshined the rest
on Friday night. Freshman defender
Katie Williams put two goals in the
net, just minutes apart, after Missouri
had taken a 1-0 lead. The Jayhawk
players and fans alike were ecstatic,
and the atmosphere at the game
was the best possible conclusion to
a rocky season the Jayhawks won
only one game out of their first 10.
Williams first goal came during
the 71st minute when she headed
the ball on a corner kick received
from sophomore forward Monica
Dolinsky. As the ball hit the net,
shouts of joy erupted from the field
and the bleachers. Less then four
minutes later, Williams did exactly
the same thing with a corner kick
from the other side by sophomore
forward Shannon McCabe.
A strong finish
After the team overcame a los-
ing streak at the beginning of the
season, Kansas final record reached
7-9-4 overall and 5-2-3 in the Big 12.
Texas victory against Colorado this
weekend put the Jayhawks into third
place in the conference standings.
This season marks the Jayhawks
highest ranking since they entered
the Big 12 Tournament ranked No.
1 in 2004.
seniors honored
Kansas five seniors were honored
in a ceremony after the game. After
their families escorted them to the
middle of the field, Kelsey Archuleta,
Nicole Cauzillo, Colleen Quinn, Afton
Sauer and Emily Strinden were greet-
ed with flowers from their coaches
and pictures with their teammates.
Up next
Next up for the Jayhawks is the
Big 12 Tournament in San Antonio,
Texas. Their first game will be on
Wednesday against Oklahoma State
at 7:30 p.m.

Kansas coach Ray Bechard had
a few extra words of motivation for
his team before Saturdays game
against No. 18 Oklahoma. The
Kansas basketball team had beat-
en Pittsburg State Thursday, the
womens soccer team had defeated
Missouri Friday, and the football
team had rolled over Nebraska
earlier Saturday.
I told them it was time for
them to hold up their end of the
bargain, Bechard said.
After Kansas 3-2 (30-26, 28-
30, 20-30, 30-27, 15-10) come-
from-behind upset against No. 18
Oklahoma, one thing was clear:
Bechards team listened.
Playing in front of 1,089 fans
at the Horejsi Family Athletics
Center, Kansas snapped a six-
match losing streak by defeating
a ranked opponent for the first
time since Sept. 7, 2006 a 3-0
victory against No. 16 Brigham
Young. Kansas hadnt beaten a
ranked conference opponent since
defeating No. 20 Kansas State on
Nov. 5, 2005.
The kids were so happy in the
locker room, and thats what its
all about. They needed an oppor-
tunity to celebrate, Bechard said.
Theyve been working extremely
hard, and we havent been get-
ting the results we wanted lately
until tonight.
Kansas improved to 11-14 and
4-11 in the Big 12, while Oklahoma
fell to 18-7 and 10-5 in the Big 12.
the comebAck

Trailing two games to one,
and behind 20-15 in game four,
it looked like Kansas might be on
its way to its seventh straight loss.
But Kansas showed some grit and
went on an 11-6 run, and senior
middle blocker Natalie Uhart, who
finished with 14 kills, served up an
ace to tie the game at 26-26. Uhart
added a kill on the next point to
give Kansas a 27-26 lead, and after
two Oklahoma errors, junior mid-
dle blocker Savannah Noyes closed
out game four with a kill.
I think we wanted to win so
bad it hurt, and we got it done,
Uhart said.
After the dramatic game-four
win, Kansas still had to finish off
game five. With the game tied at 9-
9, Kansas won three straight points
on kills from senior right side
Emily Brown, Noyes, and fresh-
man outside hitter Jenna Kaiser to
take a 12-9 lead. Kansas cruised
from there to take a 15-10 game
five win.
Kaiser, who finished with a
team-high 18 kills, said the team
badly needed a victory.
It felt so good, because weve
been working so hard on every-
thing, Kaiser said.
In addition to the Uharts 14
kills and Kaisers 18 kills, freshman
outside hitter Karina Garlington
had 12 kills and senior middle
blocker Caitlin Mahoney had 11,
giving Kansas four players with
double-digit kills. Brown added 38
assists and 15 digs, while sopho-
more Katie Martincich had her
team-leading 12th double-double
of the season with 23 assists and
16 digs.
You look back at this, and its
just a blur of teamwork and six
people working together to make
it happen, so were thrilled about
that, Bechard said.
And whenever Kansas needed
a play, somebody was there to
step up.
Whats nice about that, though,
is theres not just one person on the
team that gets plays done, Uhart
said. Everybody is contributing
and doing their job and working
their butt off.
Kansas appeared poised to take
a two games to zero lead early
in the middle of game two. But
Kansas let a 15-11 lead slip away
and dropped game two 30-28.
Oklahoma dominated game three
30-20.
We came out flat in game
three, but lets give Oklahoma a
little credit, Bechard said.
