Growing up in India, Dr. Neeli
Bendapudi was in love with the Uni-versity o Kansas. For three yearswhile her ather worked on his doc-torate here, Bendapudi and the resto her amily heard stories rom herathers time at the University. Yearslater, Bendapudi completed her owndoctorate here and is now 31 daysinto her tenure as dean o the busi-ness school.
Bendapudi was hired aer Wil-liam Furest resigned last year in themidst o questions about how theschool was using student course ees.She returned to Kansas aer teach-ing at Ohio State and serving as ex-ecutive vice president and chie cus-tomer service ocer o HuntingtonNational Bank.
Business is the most popular ma-jor or Kansas students, with morethan 1,025 declared majors and745 minors. Bendapudi is excitedto maintain the popularity o thebusiness school and also expand itsknowledge base out to non-businessstudents.
Bendapudi said a business minoror students is a perect addition toany major.
You could be an optometrist, aveterinarian, an engineer, but whereare you going to work? Youre goingto work in a business o some kind,Bendapudi said. Having a soundunderstanding o how businessworks makes you more eective inwhatever your core area is.
Te main goal Bendapudi wantsto ocus on as dean is promoting andhelping students fnd jobs aer theirtime at the University. In the currentjob market, it is not enough to attend
class and get good grades, she said,so students must have the initiativeto get internships and be proactivewith their utures.
Its a tough economy, but theresalways room or the best prepared,Bendapudi said. So I want my stu-dents to be the best prepared in theclassroom and eventually the board-room.
Because business is such a popularmajor, not only at the University butalso at colleges across the country,there is a lot o criticism about it be-ing a major where students can slacko. Te New York imes publishedan article in April reporting how
business students nationwide dontgraduate with all o the skills neededto survive in the job market.
Patrick Mahoney, a senior romOverland Park, fnds his business ed-ucation to be appropriately challeng-ing. Aer switching his major rompolitical science to business threesemesters ago, Mahoney eels moreprepared to graduate this spring.
In the business school its a di-erent way o thinking. You have tothink more analytically and all your
classes tie together, Mahoney said.You use everything rom one classin another class.
Business students at the Universityhave to learn the undamentals o allareas o business, something employ-ers fnd i ncredibly useul.
For the past two years, BrianJones, the senior director o humanresources or American Eagle, hiredstudents rom the KU business schoolto intern or the company. Jones saidhis company had such a great expe-rience with these students that theyoered a ew ull time positions aergraduation.
Te olks we have ound in thebusiness school have been very team-work oriented, very collaborative,and high levels o integrity, Jones
said.With the current state o Wall
Street and major fnancial institu-tions, studying fnance or businessmight seem daunting to students.Te very people who are supposed tobe experts on business and the econ-omy are the ones who made mistakesleading to the current recession.
Bendapudi says having more di-versity on Wall Street and in fnancialinstitutions could prevent problemslike this. Students rom the same
big business schools are consistentlyrecruited to run the economy, buthaving more down to earth Midwest
students with the same business un-damentals adds more variety to theindustry.
Bendapudi ound that her busi-
ness degree rom the University wasable to match up with those rombetter-known business schools, andthat the University prepared her withmoree experience.
I think the opportunity at KU isthat we are large enough that a stu-dent can really go out and get thewhole breadth, but that we are reallysmall enough that we can tailor tothat student, Bendapudi said. Butthe student has to take ownership othat.

was compromised.he driver o the truck was initially
unconscious, but eventually came to,according to oumi.
He started opening his eyes andspeaking, saying he was really sorry,oumi said. here was deinitely astrong smell, I asked him how much hehad to drink and he said Not much.
And some local high school stu-dents witnessed the wreck, accordingto oumi.

After implementing a cooperativepublic transportation system, Lawrenceand the University of Kansas have beenrecognized by the Federal Transit Ad-ministration for the largest increase inridership among urban transit provid-ers in the state.
The collaboration between Universityand city transit services led to morethan 1 million total riders throughoutLawrence in 2010, according to the
Federal Transit Administration.The city of Lawrence increased itsridership from 549,186 riders in 2009to 670,756 in 2010 a 22 percentincrease.
Ridership on University Park and
Ride buses increased nearly 12 percent,from 424,539 riders in 2009, to 475,007in 2010.
The award was presented to the citylast week at the annual meeting of theKansas Public Transit Association inManhattan.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director ofUniversity Parking and Transit, saidthat University and Lawrence transitofficials began to jointly coordinatenew bus routes about three years ago.The groups plan was launched in an
effort to improve accessibility andefficiency of the public transportationsystem in Lawrence for both riders andtransit providers.
It just didnt make a whole lot of
sense one bus following another
down the street, Kaiser said. Whatweve done is to try to take a look at thecity as a whole.
Kaiser said that the improved transitsystem provides several benefits tothe Lawrence community, including amore environmentally friendly servicethat reduces traffic congestion and useof fossil fuels.
Robert Nugent, public transitadministrator of Lawrence, said thecomprehensive transit system providesconvenience for community members,including University students.
Anybody can ride transit just aboutany time of the year, Nugent said.Weve restructured our service so KUstudents could not just use the service
on the 160 days that theyre in session,
but so that they can use it many moredays.As a result of city and University
cooperation, all University of Kansasstudents are welcome to ride city busroutes by showing a student ID card.Conversely, all Lawrence citizens witha city bus pass can ride University busroutes.
For more information, call KU onWheels at (785) 864-4644 or visit www.lawrencetransit.org for Lawrence,and www.kuonwheels.ku.edu for theUniversity.

Te latest role to grab is attetio is

Craword becomes te proessioal ad

"It was a good story, a eel-good

Duvall kows good scripts. his resume
reads like a Top 100 Movies list rom te

Tere's bee o real strategy to is role

Oe tig did't eel rigt about te

tougt is caracter was a little too

he sould kow ater more ta 50
years o workig i TV ad flm. Despite

Home crowd support is key to victoryThe pageantry of Kansas foot-
ball is alive and well on game day.
Crowds of Jayhawk fans exude
the same mass excitement, wear-
ing common crimson and bluewith a fervent sense of pride. In
Lawrence, you will undoubtedly
find the streets of the student
ghetto succumbed by fans, the
competitive nature of recreational
drinking games simulating foot-
ball players resolve, and the Rock
Chalk chant echoing up and
down the hill by students, staff
and alumni alike.
But really, the point of poetry
is this; on game day, morale is at
a peak and the whole town comes
together to celebrate the game,
regardless the spread predictions.
Lets be honest. Its no secretthat basketball is our shining
star in the realm of national col-
legiate sports, but to be a diehard
Jayhawk means supporting foot-
ball, soccer, tennis, volleyball,
rowing, baseball, softball or what-
ever other athletic event is being
played, no matter the predictions.
Despite the distressing Sports
Illustrated forecast of our teams
season, its still important to show
up and support the players who
put their bodies, limbs and heads
on the line for you. Home crowd
support is a key intangible in any
football game. A raucus homecrowd can will our team to vic-
tory and prove naysayers wrong.
The University is consistently
lauded for our school spirit and
we should back that up with fan-
fare galore.
And if we want our team to
climb from the bottom of the hill,
lets help coach Turner Gill show
future recruits that we have their
backs. Lets show them we will
create a comfortable atmosphere
that will support the team win or
lose (but more if they win).
They say that when you win,
you silence all the doubters,
so lets look on the bright side.
Jayhawk football was predicted
to go 1-11 in our conference, so
if that or anything better occurs,
we should cheer like its the damn
BCS championship.
Cheer like theres no tomorrow.

Last Sunday, bars, restaurants andliquor stores were invited to Fake ID101 training put on by the police and
re departments, the county prosecu-tor and Alcoholic Beverage Control.Te 154 attendees learned what to lookor when trying to discern a ake roma real ID.
A real ID has markings that appearunder a black light, holograms, over-lapping print, a ghost picture and mi-croprinting, as well as a magnetic stripthat carries inormation about the IDholder. Rob Ne, neighborhood re-source ocer or the Lawrence PoliceDepartment, said that ake IDs willofen lack one or more o these ele-ments.
At the local liquor store Cork andBarrel, employees look at acial ea-tures, like the eyebrows and nose, todetermine i a license is legitimate.Tey also have a book with inorma-tion on IDs rom other states, as stu-dents requently use IDs rom placesother than Kansas.
Te all semester brings new studentsand a new batch o ake IDs, said Corkand Barrel general manager BrendanDowdle. Using or having a ake ID can
carry heavy penalties.I violators are caught, police o-
cers can decide to take ake IDs and/or write citations or them. Tey willgenerally cite the violation, which isknown as unlawul use o a drivers li-cense, said Ne. Te perpetrator thenhas to go to municipal court wherethey can be charged $300 to $1000 andace six months in jail.
But or many students, ake IDs havebeen and will likely continue to be apart o the college experience.
Chad Davis, a senior rom Olathe,said he had two ake IDs during hisreshman and sophomore years that hesuccessully used to go out with olderriends in Lawrence bars. One o theIDs was conscated by a police ocerin Manhattan when he noticed Daviswas taller than 5 eel 6 inches tall, theheight listed on his ID. Getting caughtdidnt aze Davis.
You knew where to and where notto go, said Davis, who continued touse his second ake until turning 21.

Governor Brownback has beenunder intense scrutiny lately or hisadministrations decisions regardingbudget cuts. wo Lawrence psycholo-gists have teamed up to protest the
Governors eorts to deund manystatewide social programs, such asSocial and Rehabilitation Services
and Planned Parenthood.amara Werth and Crystal McCo-
mas ormed the group Kansans Unit-
ed in Voice and Spirit afer many oKansas social programs were cut ordeunded. Te group aims to protectthese programs and the citizens thatare aected by the legislation citi-zens who Werth said have been lef
stranded, vulnerable and desperate.We want Kansans who are con-
cerned and are upset and are discour-aged by what is happening to theirstate to come together and be thatgreater voice and make a statementthat we care about what happens to
our state and our society, Werth said.Since his election to oce in
November 2010, the Brownback
adminstration has closed SRS ocesacross the state, cut public educationand Planned Parenthood unds,
and made many other cuts in orderto reduce the state budget. Tecontroversial decision to close the SRSoces led Lawrence and several othercities across Kansas to begin undingthe agencies on their own.
Now, the group says, they are plan-ning a rally to protest that administra-tions decisions. Kansans United andtheir supporters are planning to pro-test Sept. 16 at the Capitol building inopeka.
Werth said she has seen enthusiasm
ranging rom state-unded organi-zations to concerned citizens, andexpects hundreds to show up at the
Capitol building in two weeks .We wanted it to be a statewide rally
and to invite people rom all over
Kansas because its very clear that allo Kansas Republican, Democrats,Independent, whatever the politicalaliation are concerned aboutwhat is happening in Kansas, Werthsaid.
Kansans are encouraged to attendthe rally on Sept. 16 at the opekastatehouse at 10 a.m. Anyone interest-ed in partcipating in Kansans Unitedor the protest rally can visit the groupon their Facebook page, or visit www.kansansunited.org .

Bust a move with the dance department
Dance at the University o Kan-sas isnt just or dance majors. he
department o dance and an arrayo student organizations provide
opportunities to learn everythingrom ballroom to hip hop and mas-
ter Dance Dance Revolution.We have something or every-
one, said Michelle Hener Hayes,
chair o the department o dance.We serve the University at large.
here are students who just want todance as part o their experience at
the University and they have neverhad the opportunity to dance be-
ore and they have zero dance ex-perience. We have beginning leveldance courses.
Students can also receive credit
or dancing outside o the dancedepartment. he department ohealth, sport and exercise science
oers a basic skill in Dance DanceRevolution class. Last year, that
class inspired several students to
create a club around the game, the
KU Dance Dance Revolution club.Rebecca Cannon, a senior rom
opeka and the clubs treasurer, saidthe group has about 15 membersthat come to play every Wednesday
night on the irst loor o the Kan-san Union. Players o all skill levels
are welcome to come and dance toany o the 1,500 songs the club has
accumulated.I dont like dance, Cannon said.
Im just a an o rhythm games. Itsmore o a challenge aspect.
For more traditional dancers,
ballroom dance is taught in severaldierent clubs and organizations,
including KU DanceSport, which issponsored by Recreation Services.
DanceSport oers students theopportunity to learn the cha-cha,
salsa, and jive, among many otherdances, rom a proessional instruc-tor. Members can come or un or
train or collegiate ballroom dance
competitions, said Guide Runga-mornchai, DanceSports presidentand a senior rom Bangkok.
Hal o them already have ex-
perience and would want to com-pete, the other hal just want tolearn ballroom, Rungamornchai
said Our club oers both socialdancing and competition.
Competition is also a crucialpart o KU Jeevas mission. Jeeva
is a South Asian dance club thatuses together styles rom India
with western styles, like hip hop,said Deep Singh, a senior rom
Gardner and the teams captain.Jeeva won KUs Best Dance
Crew twice in the past three
years and plans on competing atthe national level this year. he
team is also moving beyond com-petitions by teaching their dances
to students and aculty. hey areoering a ree session on uesdayat 9:30 p.m. at the Ambler Student
Recreation Center.Singh hopes the sessions add to
the Universitys already-diverse
dance scene.Dancing is like speaking a lan-guage, Singh said. Just because
you know one style doesnt meanyou can know and understand themall. he only way to appreciate any
style is to try it.

ransparency and availabil-
ity: Tat was the ocus or student
senate members at the Legislative
raining Seminar on Wednesday,
the rst meeting o the academic
year.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost or
student success, welcomed mem-
bers with a detailed history o the
102-year-old legacy o Student Sen-
ate at the Universi-
ty and thanked thestaf or accepting
their positions.
You have a
voice that is di-
erent than anyone
else, Roney said.
Dont let things
go on without your
involvement.
In her introduction, Roney said one
o the reasons she loves the Univer-
sity is because o the engaged stu-
dent leaders that shape a big part o
what the school is.
Look at how worn the brass
handles are on the doors to theUnion and be reminded o how
many people, how many senators,
have walked through those doors,
Roney said.
Executive Secretary Alek Joyce,
a sophomore rom Lawrence ma-
joring in political science and jour-
nalism, said the remainder o the
training session was to inorm and
reresh senators on the duties o be-
ing a senator.
Tey were
elected with agood idea o
whats going on,
but this should
just work out all
o the little de-
tails, Joyce said.
S e n a t o r s
learned about
basic bill writing, parlimentary
procedures and lobbying, as well as
each others positions.
Tere will be a lot o sharing o
contact inormation today, Joyce
said. We want to make sure every-
one knows who to go to or what.
Various executive staf membersstressed throughout the training
session the importance o being
transparent and available to the
University and its students. Roney
reiterated that being successul
senators meant being active with
constituents and knowledgeable
about them. She encouraged sena-
tors to ofer opinions, ask questions
and to be involved with University
proceedings.
Vice President Gabe Bliss, a ju-
nior rom Olathe majoring in civilengineering, wants to change the
current image o student senate
rom merely a unding entity to an
organization that is seen as hav-
ing the ability to make an impact
on campus and in the surrounding
community.
We want to get things done ast
with student input, Bliss said. o
be efective we need to make chang-
es that stay as changes.

The conerence realignmentstory acinates me. Its a bigheadache, but its interest-
ing to read the rumors o whatschools are going where or whatschools are talking to whichconerence.
When exas A&M announcedits desire to withdraw rom theBig 12, it was a nice coincidencebecause Chancellor BernadetteGray-Little paid a visit to theKansan newsroom to talk to cam-pus media on Tursday.
I asked her about the rumorssurrounding the Kansas Boardo Regents requiring Kansas andKansas State to remain attached ithe two were to move conerences,to which, she responded that therumors arent true and that Kansasand Kansas State could be in di-
erent conerences. Te Board oRegents doesnt have a law or a
piece o paper saying the two needto remain attached.
She did say that it would be inthe best interest o Kansas to re-main a member o the Big 12 withKansas State.
Finally, theres truth.Im over the talk o exas A&M
and the Southeastern Conerence.While the SEC hasnt extended anoer, I assume it eventually will
add exas A&M as the 13th teamand will add a 14th team rom theAtlantic Coast Conerence. Mis-
souri has also been rumored to bethat 14th school.
Immediately aer the an-nouncement, Brigham Young wassaid to be in talks with the Big 12about joining the conerence. BYUle the Mountain West to jointhe West Coast Conerence, but isindependent or ootball.
Tose talks may be nullied iOklahoma, Oklahoma State, exasand exas ech fee to what wouldbe called the Pac-16.
Tis is not what Kansas wantsto hear.
Tat leaves the Big 12 with Kan-sas, Missouri, Kansas State, Baylorand Iowa State.
I the Big 12 does indeed old,and our 16-team superconerenc-es come to lie, it would be in Kan-sas best interest to ditch Kansas
State. Tis will make Kansas Stateupset, but Kansas needs to look
aer itsel rst.Aer Gray-Little talked with
members o the Kansan, I sentout a tweet that was retweetedby members o national mediaoutlets.
While Missouri has beenrumored to be a possible memberor the SEC, I think Kansas is amore attractive school. It isnt aootball powerhouse like the resto the SEC, but it wins in basket-ball and competes year in and yearout.
Ive always thought that KansasState was the reason Kansas wasntbeing looked at by the SEC or theBig en, and now that Gray-Littledebunked the myth, I would thinkKansas phones would start ring-ing more.

No conference bind for Kansas, K-State
One year ago, Kale Pickstarted at quarterback in theopening game o Kansas2011 ootball season. On Sat-urday Kale Pick will be play-ing, not at quarterback, butat a position that he had
never played beore late lastseason wide receiver.
His good riend Jordan Webbtook the starting job in his place.Pick could have sulked; he didnt.He could have held a grudgeagainst Webb; he didnt. Instead heworked hard to switch positionsand did so seamlessly.
Kale has really emerged, andhes hungry or it, oensive
coordinator Chuck Long said.He went rom quarterback
to receiver and didnt evenmiss a beat. Some guyssulk or a while and saywoe is me, I want to be aquarterback, but he took
to it right away and itsshown out there.
On a team that
has so many young players in such
heavy competition or playingtime, this relationship provides atemplate or how to carry onesel asa teammate, and how important itis to have a team-rst mentality.
I think it set an example orthis team. I know oensively ithas, Long said. Its not beingselsh, its being hey, Im goingto help this team. Tose guyshave kept the same relation-ships as quarterback and nowthey have the same one as
receiver.Te two ormer competitors
remain good riends, and thestruggle o last season has onlybrought them together.
Were both big time competi-tors, we both like to compete and Ithink that brought us even closer,Pick said. Going through whatwe all went through last year, weboth went through some adver-sity, so, weve both been throughthat, were both competitors, andwe have similar personalities, so Ithink thats why were so close.
Te Pick-Webb relationship willbe key on the eld Saturday, as theJayhawks try to avenge one o themost embarrassing moments inprogram history, the 6-3 loss to
Pick, Webb will work togetherMike [email protected]

McNeese State returns only eight starters
rom last years squad that fnished second
in the Southland Conerence, yet enter the
season ranked 20th in the Football Champi-
onship Subdivision rankings. Coach Matt Vi-
ator has led the Cowboys to winning seasons
in each o the past fve years, and has never
fnished below second in the conerence dur-
ing that stretch, while winning three titles.
The Cowboys are more talented than the
North Dakota State team that spoiled Turner
Gills debut last season. Even so, the talent
levels o the two teams are nowhere near
equal and Kansas should win the home
opener or the frst time under Gill.

Last season McNeese aced o against two teams rom BCS conerences, Missouri and
LSU, and lost both games. The Cowboys got throttled at Missouri, losing 50-6, and lost
by a much more manageable margin against LSU, alling 32-10. This is one o the best
chances McNeese may have in awhile at knocking o a team rom a BCS conerence, as

The Cowboys return our starters on
oense, including Southland conerence
Newcomer o the year Andre Anderson.
The Cowboys return their top three rush-
ers rom last season, including two who
put up more than 150 yards in a single
game, so expect a solid rush attack to
help take the pressure o sophomore
quarterback Cody Stroud, who has only
two career starts under his belt at the college level. The oense took a blow when
All-SLC OG Miguel Gauthreaux went down with a let leg injury in camp.
The Cowboys have a blitz-happy de-
ense. They return our starters on de-
ense. They will be led by frst team All-
Southland Conerence and All-Louisiana
senior deensive end Desmund Lighten
and All-SLC junior deensive back Mal-
colm Bronson. Lighten has 168 career
tackles and Bronson led the team with
fve interceptions. The Cowboys base
ormation is a 4-2-5, which has one more
deensive back than a traditional deensive ront. The ormation has become more
popular as a base deense as more and more schools are switching to the spread
oense.

A young oense that looks much improved
in the basics returns to the ootball feld.
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb is more
comortable in his second year as a starter and
word out o practice is that hes controlling the
tempo better. Kansas will be running the ball
much more this season, behind sophomore
running back James Sims. Darrian Miller and
ellow backup reshman Brandon Bourbon will
also see multiple carries as the game wears on. The oensive line will need to remain steady
blocking or the run and going up against a McNeese State team that loves to blitz.
Turner Gill likes to talk about his
teams speed and the Jayhawks have
certainly added more quickness to a
deense that was requently torched last
year. Junior deensive end Toben Opurum,
a converted running back, brings some
speed to a deensive line that would not
otherwise be considered too ast. Fresh-
man saety Bradley McDougald and ju-nior saety Keeston Terry are both converted
receivers and playmakers that should help the deense out. Senior Steven Johnson
will lead the linebackers and the rest o the deense, as hes the teams top return-
ing tackler.

Failure is not an option or Kansas in
Week One against an Football Champi-
onship Series opponent. Ater suering a
loss to North Dakota State in the season
opener one year ago, the Jayhawks will
not be taking McNeese State lightly. With
a tough schedule ahead o them, games
in which the Jayhawks are avored will be
rare. Coach Turner Gill needs to win this
one to ensure that his second season will
be better than the irst.

lot o hype to the
position that will
be key to the Jay-
hawks this year.
Playing behind
sophomore running
back James Sims as the backup, Miller
will have plenty o carries, as he hopes to
ind a role as the perect complement to
Sims. No one has seen Miller play outside
o the coaching sta, so his talents re-
main a mystery, but that will all change
on Saturday when the coaches unveil
what Miller can do.

A new punter andkicker highlight the
changes at special
teams or Kansas.
Freshman kicker Alex
Mueller will make his
debut or Kansas on
Saturday. He was frst-
team all-state in Texas
and was ranked as the fth best kicker in the
nation by rivals. Sophomore punter Ron Do-
herty brings an even bigger leg than Mueller
and is competing or kicko duties this year.
Junior wide receiver D.J. Beshears will be
back returning kickos this year and senior
wide receiver Daymond Patterson will once
again be returning punts.

that comes
a whole new

Gills team cannot look like they

will no longer be deemed accept-

The weakest group o starters or the Jayhawks, on paper, have been questioned
the entire oseason or their abilities. With McNeese State running a pro-style attack,
there will be many runs up the middle and at the deensive line. The Jayhawks start two
juniors and two sophomores who, or the most part, have little game experience. Junior
deensive end Toben Opurum will be the key to the group, as his superior athleticismrom his running back days could carry over to wreak havoc in the Cowboys backfeld.
The Jayhawks take care o their
business and put away McNeese
State. I the team can avoid the
little mistakes that made them look
clueless at times last year, they can
restore some aith to a an base thatsat through a long and rough season
last year.

Iam a sports junkie. If itsa competition of athletic
prowess, I will watch it, learn
about it, and discuss it (except for
cricket, Im still trying to figure
that one out). Last weekend I
found myself watching some of the
Track and Field World Champion-
ships. It got me pumped for the
2012 summer Olympics in Lon-
don, but bummed because it would
still be another two years before I
get to watch my favorite Olympics,
the winter games.If I could achieve any athletic
feat, of course Id want a cham-
pionship ring. And it would be
awesome to have my name etched
onto the Stanley Cup.
But to win an Olympic medal,
especially gold, would be some-
thing I could carry with me. To
know that at one time I was better
than everyone IN THE WORLD,
even if it was at something ex-
tremely specialized.
I cant explain exactly why Iprefer the winter games to the
summer. Maybe it was watching
Tommy Moe win the downhill
gold at the 94 games, maybe it was
hearing stories of the 1980 Miracle
on Ice game growing up, but for
some reason I do.
Specifically, I have two favorite
parts of the winter games.
The first is curling. What otherOlympic sport can you watch
and say to yourself, Hey, I can
do that? Curling is a sport for
the out-of-shape. I know it takes
skill, but it is the real life version
of the movie BASEketball, a sport
where 40-year-olds with bad
backs and knees can compete
with guys half their age who are
all roided up. As pathetic as it
sounds, I think I would even play
a curling video game. I fell in love
with curling during the 2002 SaltLake games. I was in sixth grade,
home with the flu, and I spent my
days watching curling. It was much
better than school.
The other thing that puts the
winter games over the summer
games is the hockey tournament.
As fun as it is watching the best
players in the NBA dominate every
game in the summer Olympics, itsalways more compelling to root for
the underdog. And in hockey, the
USA is just that.
Canada has Crosby, Russia has
Ovechkin, but the US has some-
thing better than one of the top
two players in hockey we have
heart. And in 2010, we showed it
by taking the Canadian team to
overtime on the back of outstand-
ing goaltending by Ryan Miller.
In the end, Canada won, but I had
never seen more interest in hockeythan after that tournament.
But what really makes the
Olympics special is that they only
happen every four years, so I have
to wait as the anticipation builds.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) With
most o the Super Bowl champi-
ons marquee players on the side-
line, outside linebacker Vic Sooto
likely sealed up his roster spot in
the Green Bay Packers 20-19 vic-
tory over the Kansas City Chies inhursday nights preseason inale.
Sooto, an undrated ree agent
out o BYU who ended up in
Green Bay ater his wie chose
among multiple NFL oers,
returned an interception 33 yards
or a touchdown. He had 1 sacks
and a orced umble.
Packers deensive lineman How-
ard Green, a 340-pounder, gave
the Chies a s care when he landed
directly on top o starting quarter-
back Matt Cassel.Aaron Rodgers played just one
series or the Packers, throwing
an 8-yard touchdown pass to tight
end om Crabtree.
he Chies pulled Cassel ater
the big hit but kept many o their
starters in the game into the ourth
quarter. Kicker Ryan Succop
missed a 56-yard attempt at the
end o the game or Kansas City
(0-4).
Meanwhile, several Packers
veterans didnt suit up and thenight belonged to Sooto.
Sooto, who recently said he came
to the Packers ater his wie chose
among oers rom Green Bay, Ari-
zona and Miami, already seemed
likely to make the roster with a
surprising perormance in t raining
camp. hursdays game might have
been all he needed and then
some.
With the Chies acing t hird-and-6 on their irst p ossession,
Sooto shed his block and sacked
Cassel. He made another big
play with the Chies driving on
their second possession, orcing a
umble by Jamaal Charles.
Sooto made his biggest play in
the third quarter, dropping into
coverage and picking o a pass by
yler Palko and rumbling into the
end zone to give Green Bay a 20-
16 lead. Sooto then did a Lam-
beau Leap into the stands.
It probably wont be his last.
Meanwhile, pass protection has
been an issue or the Packers in the
preseason, and hursday broughtmore o the same this time rom
the backups.
With the Packers oense
backed up near its own end zone
ater a holding penalty on Ray
Dominguez, center Nick Mc-
Donald snapped a ball over the
head o backup quarterback Matt
Flynn. He got the ball back but was
tackled by deensive lineman Allen
Bailey or a saety.
Although Cassel let the game
ater he took the hard hit rom
Green, Kansas City continued to
play its oensive starters. Both
their irst-hal touchdown drives
came against Packers backups.he Chies went out o their
way to get their irst-team oense
one last tuneup, even trying a
ake punt and onside kick in the
irst hal. he ake punt worked,
continuing a drive that ended with
Cassel throwing a 10-yard touch-
down to Dexter McCluster.
With time running out in the
irst hal, Palko threw a 2-yard
pass to Dwayne Bowe on 4th
down. he call was upheld on a
replay review.
While the Chies played most o
their ront-line players, the Pack-
ers rested plenty o players hurs-
day. Cornerback Charles Wood-son, saety Nick Collins, linebacker
A.J. Hawk, outside linebacker Clay
Matthews, tight end Jermichael
Finley and wide receivers Donald
Driver, Jordy Nelson and James
Jones were among the Packers who
did not play.
College Football
North Dakota State. A loss thatboth players played a role in.
When a play breaks down andWebb is orced to scramble, the
chemistry between the two mightmake the dierence between a sack,a ball thrown away, and a 5-, 10-,or 15-yard completion to keep thedrive alive.
We think a lot alike, Pick said.Were usually on the same pagewhen Im running a route. I theyrein a certain coverage, I break aroute o, and he has that eeling tothrow the ball right beore I break.It just helps our timing and helpsour style o play.
Pick and Webbs situation is aamiliar one, as odd Reesing andKerry Meier went through an eerilysimilar situation in 2007.
Te relationship between Reesing
and Meier launched Kansas to newheights, winning the schools rstOrange Bowl and setting numer-ous oensive records. When a playwould break down, and it oen did
with Reesing, Meier would nd ahole in the deense and Reesingwould get him the ball.
Long said that Kansas receiv-ers coach David Beaty made thecomparison o Pick to Meier as welland that he thinks its a good one.Beaty was at Kansas when Meierrst made the transition to receiverrom quarterback. Once againBeaty gets to watch this unselshtransition rst-hand.Its like hav-ing a quarterback at that position,Beaty said.

Van Chew made a diving 4-yardtouchdown catch in the le at atthe goal line on the rst series oovertime, and Syracuse rallied pastWake Forest 36-29 on Tursdaynight in the season-opener or bothteams.
Te Demon Deacons got the ballone last time, but the Syracuse de-ense held or one o the ew timeson the night and orced a ourth-
down incompletion rom the 19rom ed Stachitas to Chris Givensin the right corner o the end zone.
Kevyn Scott appeared to securethe victory or Syracuse when hemade a diving interception over themiddle at the Wake Forest 32 withjust over 5 minutes remaining andthe game tied at 29-all. But RossKrautman, who had made a school-record 16 straight eld goals, hadhis 32-yard attempt blocked by KyleWilber with just under 3 minutes togo in regulation.
It was a breakthrough o sorts orthe Orange. Syracuses last win overa Football Bowl Subdivision team inthe Carrier Dome was a 31-13 upseto Rutgers in November 2009. Syra-cuse was 0-4 last season against FBSteams in the Dome and hasnt hada winning season overall at home
since it went 4-1 in 2004.Wake Forest, which lost start-
ing quarterback anner Price toan injury early in the ourth quar-ter, couldnt mount a threat behindbackup ed Stachitas. Price was 18o 31 or 289 yards and three touch-downs.
Te Orange had rallied uriouslyaer trailing 29-14 early in theourth quarter.
Aer Jimmy Newmans 40-yardeld goal gave Wake Forest a
15-point lead with 11:02 le, Syra-cuses Antwon Bailey scored on a53-yard run around the le side andquarterback Ryan Nassib hit ull-back Adam Harris or a 2-yard scorewith 8:26 le.
Price hit Chris Givens on scoreso 60 and 22 yards, and had a pretty16-yarder on a third-and-goal playto Michael Camapanaro.
Te deense was supposed to bethe weak link or the Orange witha veteran ofense returning. It wasuntil the end, and so was the ofenseuntil it nally got untracked lateagainst Wakes 3-4 spread.
Nassib was 12 o 20 or 85 yardspassing through three quarters andnished 20 o 28 or 178 or the Or-ange.
Te Syracuse deense, which lostits heart with the graduation o line-
backers Derrell Smith and DougHogue, missed too many tackles andnever mounted any kind o pressureon Price, and he repeatedly madethem pay. Price had 12 completionso 13 yards or more.
Free saety Phillip Tomas wasburned twice by Givens on longpasses. Givens hauled in a 37-yardpass in the rst quarter to help setup Jimmy Newmans 38-yard eldgoal, his 13th straight conversion.Givens then blew past Tomas
again on the right side and caught a60-yard touchdown on the rst playrom scrimmage aer Syracuse hadscored its rst touchdown.
Te Orange ofense nally got go-ing when Nassib hit tight end NickProvo over the middle at the WakeForest 15. Provo broke a tackle bylinebacker Riley Haynes and rum-bled into the end zone or a 7-6 leadwith 9:29 le in the rst hal.
Te Demon Deacons scored againon their nal possession o the rsthal when the Orange were unableto stop a third-and-goal play romthe 16 and just over 2 minutes toplay.
In the rst hal, Syracuse gainedjust 52 yards on 22 plays ofensively,and its deense was torched or 258yards on 45 plays.
Nick Dougherty shot an 8-under63 Tursday to lead Rory McIlroy bytwo shots aer the rst round o theEuropean Masters.
Te Englishman had eight birdiesin a bogey-ree round, while McIl-roy had ve birdies in his rst eightholes. Its McIlroys rst tournamentsince injuring his right wrist three
weeks ago.Its totally ne, McIlroy said. Imable to hit all the shots I want to andnot lose any distance.
Martin Kaymer, Lee Sung and GaryBoyd also were two shots behind theleader. Kaymer had seven birdies andjust one bogey.
McIlroy showed no ill efects romthe injury he sustained aer hitting atree root during the PGA Champion-ship. He spent two weeks spent recu-perating in the United States with hisgirlriend, top-ranked tennis player
Caroline Wozniacki.Its a great way to start the week,
said McIlroy, the U.S. Open winnerwho could rise to No. 3 in the rank-ings with a victory. Im sixth and Iwant to get higher.
McIlroys steady round took ofwith birdie putts o 3 eet and 20 eetat No. 2 and No. 3. His only blemishwas a 5 at the ourth hole aer hook-ing his tee shot into trees. But he re-covered with a 12-ooter on the nexthole, then made a 14-oot, downhill
putt or birdie at the sixth.Second-ranked Lee Westwood andBritish Open winner Darren Clarkewere in a group o six players at 4 un-der. Westwoods adventurous roundincluded two eagles and a double bo-gey. He missed short par-saving puttsat each o the nal two holes.
Kaymer made a sensational a 40-oot putt or birdie at the short eighthhole, then nished with a birdie atNo. 9.
Dougherty has missed the cut at 21straight events and has no earnings
on the European our money list.
ennessees rookie quarterback JakeLocker added a bit o sparkle to anotherwise lackluster game Tursdaynight, leading the itans to a 32-9victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Te itans rst-round pick, whois expected to press Matt Hasselbeckor the starting job at some point this
season, completed 15 o 17 or 132yards and a touchdown. He had a118.6 quarterback rating, playing justover three quarters. Locker also ran22 yards to score,
Saints backup QB Chase Danielwas not as impressive, completing 29o 39 or 249 yards. He was sackedtwice. His only D drive came in theourth quarter when Montez Billingscapped a 66-yard drive with a 2-yardreception.
Te itans deense scored rst as
deensive tackle Karl Klug chasedDaniel into the end zone and sackedhim or a saety. It was the rst saetyNew Orleans allowed since the sec-ond regular-season game o 2009, theSaints Super Bowl season.
Ron Bironas added the rst o histhree eld goals, a 32-yarder to put
ennessee up 5-0 going into the sec-ond quarter.
ennessee stretched its lead to 22-0at the hal with Lockers 22-yardscramble, a 47-yard eld goal, anda 12-yard touchdown reception byLavelle Hawkins.
Bironas hit a 41-yarder in the thirdquarter that made it 25-0.
Damian Williams returned a punt
52 yards in the ourth quarter or atouchdown that closed out ennes-sees scoring.
Te nal preseason game or bothteams was a battle o the backups.Te itans briey played 10 o theirregular starters, including quarter-back Matt Hasselbeck, who took ninesnaps, and ve deensive starters.

It was a memorable weekend or
Kansas womens soccer. Te team
skyrocketed onto the national col-
lege soccer landscape aer deeating
two highly ranked opponents, San
Diego and Southern Caliornia, at
the USD tournament.
Even i were tired, even i were
sore, we know that
we can come out withtwo wins. We now
know we can do that,
Sarah Robbins said,
a junior midelder
rom Montreal, Que-
bec. We knew we
were good enough to
win. We knew we had
the talent. It was just
putting in that last lit-
tle efort and it really
paid of or us.
Pinpointing all those tiny actorsis crucial, and the coaching staf saw
a ew o their own players come out
with a new re on the eld.
Te intensity and the heart we
played with, coach Mark Francis
said, we can control that. So we
need to be coming out with that
kind o intensity every game.
Robbins has been instrumental in
this teams early season success. She
continues to provide stability in the
mideld.
Developing depth at every posi-tion on the pitch ts into Francis
philosophy o everyone on the ros-
ter needing to contribute.
Being able to make changes and
get resh legs in there, it helps us
maintain that intensity, Francis
said. But we wouldnt be able to do
that i we didnt have a deep team.
Another essential element to the
Jayhawk ormula is the steady hands
in goal o Kat Liebetrau, a junior
rom Centennial, Colo.
Although shes sharing minutes
with ellow keeper Kaitlyn Stroud,
a reshman rom Fayetteville, Ga.,
it hasnt afected Liebetraus peror-
mance or expectations.
I think one thing this team is re-
ally strong in
is they keepingghting until
the end o the
game, Liebe-
trau said. I
we keep doing
that or the rest
o the season, it
will be huge or
us in games.
Tis weekend,
Kansas moves
on to opponents
with slightly smaller soccer repu-tations, Missouri State and South
Dakota State; however, this does not
mean the team will be taking com-
petition lightly.
Going into this weekend, the big-
gest mistake we can make would be
to assume that theyre not going to
be as strong as the teams we played,
Robbins said.
Missouri State comes into Fridays
game with a 2-1 record, including a
win over SEC opponent Vanderbilt.
Te Jayhawks played the Bears lastseason and won 2-0.
South Dakota State has struggled
out o the gate thus ar, but is still
another quality opponent who n-
ished last year with a winning re-
cord.
Teyre going to ght or it, Lie-
betrau said. Right now, they know
were doing well and theyre going to
come into the game pumped up and
ready to beat us.
Kansas nalizes its three-game
road trip by traveling to Missouri
State on Friday at 7 p.m. Tey are
back home on Sunday to play South
Dakota State at 1 p.m. at the Jay-
hawk Soccer Complex.
