The student voice since 1904

Thanksgiving is traditionally a
day of spending time with loved
ones, watching hours of football,
and most importantly, binge eat-
ing.
According to a study from the
National Institute of Health, the
average American gains a pound
during the holidays.
Matt Dickey, a junior from
Wichita, said he usually doesnt
worry about the amount of food
he eats during the holiday season.
Counting calories and holidays
dont count, Dickey said. It is a
holiday from your diet.
A pound gained during each
holiday season can potentially add
up, said Ann Chapman, a dietitian
at the Wellness Resource Center at
Watkins Memorial Health Center.
That may not sound like a lot,
but if you figure every year of your
life, in 10 years, youve put on 10
pounds just because of the holi-
days, Chapman said.
Overeating one day out of the
year does not necessarily equal
weight gain though, Chapman
said.
Chapman also said reducing the
amount of ingredients people put
in their foods could make a huge
difference. For example, someone
could use a small amount of butter
in mashed potatoes, and instead
put extra butter on the table so
people could add it later.
Eating a high-protein snack,
such as string cheese or a small
apple, two hours before the meal
could also help prevent binge eat-
ing.
If you eat that an hour or two
before the meal, when it
comes time to eat, youre hun-
gry but youre not ravenous,
Chapman said.
When dinnertime arrives,
Chapman suggested that students
load up their plates with low-cal-
orie items, such as fruits and veg-
etables, and take smaller portions
of more high-calorie foods, such
as dressing and gravy. However,
she said students should not be
afraid to splurge a little to eat a
few of their favorite foods that
only come around once a year.
There are things you really
associate with childhood memo-
ries that mean more to you, like
your grandmothers pecan pie.
Have a slice of that, Chapman
said. But if there are foods at the
meal that arent the special, dont
eat those and indulge in the ones
that are.
Natalie Meyer, a junior from
Wichita, said one of her favorite
things about the holidays is bring-
ing home-cooked meals back to
Lawrence.
I am a starving college kid
after all, Meyer said.
Chapman said eating leftovers
could play a role in weight gain,
unless individuals took the time to
exercise daily.
I think we view the holidays as
a time to be lazy, and thats fine,
but you should take 45 minutes
out of the day to get your heart
pumping, Chapman said.
She suggested working in some
kind of activity during the day,
such as playing flag football or
throwing a Frisbee.

Ermal Garinger, the namesake
of the Ermal Garinger Academic
Resource Center and former director
of the KU Language Laboratories,
died Friday.
Garinger served as the director of
the KU Language Laboratories from
1965 until 1987, when he retired.
The lab was renamed for him after
his retirement.
Jonathan Perkins, the cur-
rent director of EGARC, said in a
University press release that Garinger
saw the development of the lab dur-
ing his 22 years as director and that
he would be remembered for his
dedication.
He was a pioneer in the use of
technology in language learning and
a leader in language education in
the state of Kansas, Perkins said in
a statement.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little
said in a statement that Garingers
work left a lasting impact on gen-
erations of KU language scholars.
Garinger was 88.

Kansas joined a handful of
other states this afternoon in ban-
ning caffeinated alcoholic bever-
ages.
A press release from the Kansas
Department of Revenue states
that all flavors of Four Loko, Four
Maxed, Joose and Max are no lon-
ger legal for sale or distribution in
the state.
This comes after the Food and
Drug Administration announced
Wednesday that caffeine was an
unsafe food additive in these
beverages.
Thomas W. Groneman, director
of the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage
Control, said in a letter to retail-
ers that he is recalling the prod-
ucts because the mix of caffeine
and alcohol can place an undue
strain on the heart and central
nervous system, cause dehydra-
tion, and hinder the bodys ability
to metabolize alcohol.
Freda Warfield, a spokeswoman
for the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage
Control, said that as of Monday,
no cans of those four products
can be sold in Kansas.
Warfield also said that when
Phusion Projects, the company
that produces Four Loko, refor-
mulates its product to contain
no caffeine, the ban will be
reviewed.
Distributors must retrieve cans
of unsold products from retailers
no later than Dec. 1.
Zack Mingo, a junior from
Garden City, said hes upset to
hear about the ban.
When money is low at the end
of the month, he said, he appreci-
ated only having to spend a few
dollars on a can of Four Loko. But
he said he wasnt surprised that
Kansas banned the products.
I sort of expected something
would happen here, he said.
Quinn Emler, a sophomore
from Wichita, said she agrees
with the states decision.
Honestly, I think they should
be banned, she said. I dont
think alcohol and energy drinks
should be mixed.
Emler said she thought bever-
ages like Four Loko are unsafe
because some people dont under-
stand the effect that large quanti-
ties of caffeine and alcohol can
have on a persons body.

have been awarded a commis-

his graduation in 1970.
Santos, retired as CEO of

According to Grupo de Diarios
America, the representative of
the 11 leading newspapers in

Bina Ahmad hugged an old
friend this weekend a turkey
named Opal she frst met fve
years ago.
Shes a lot older and chunkier
now but shes still so beautiful,
said Ahmad, a vegan who joined
hundreds of people over the
weekend to feed turkeys their
own Tanksgiving feast.
Ahmad spent Saturday at a tur-
key-hugging Tanksgiving event
in Poplar Farms animal sanctu-
ary in Poolesville, Md., where
she kissed turkeys and fed them
treats of grain, bread and grapes.
Similar turkey-honoring events
are taking place in animal shelters
across the country this week.
Its an alternative to the
traditional Tanksgiving and its
really inspiring for thousands of
people, Ahmad said. And Opal?
She loves the attention.
Four-time NBA champion-
ship winner John Salley was also
hugging turkeys on Saturday at a
300-acre sanctuary in California
run by an animal advocacy group,
Farm Sanctuary.
Tis time of year, I love to
hug turkeys, said Salley, who
frst became interested in saving
the birds seven years ago and no
longer eats meat.
I was invited to a meat-free
Tanksgiving party in the Hol-
lywood Hills. Pamela Anderson
was there and they had this live
turkey walking around in the
front garden. Tats when it really
hit me I got more of a kick out
of meeting this turkey than I ever
would from eating it.
On Saturday, Salley and hun-
dreds of others ate a meat-free
Tanksgiving dinner and fed
cranberries and pumpkin to the
shelters resident turkeys.
Its so much fun for me, said
Salley, just playing with them
makes me happier than any
Tanksgiving dinner ever could.
Most turkey-feeding events are
happening pre-Tanksgiving so
that Ahmad, Salley and hundreds
of others can return to celebrate
Tanksgiving with their families.
And for some of these turkey-
huggers, the family reunion can
be uncomfortable.
I love my family very much
and its great to see them at
Tanksgiving, even though it
really, really pains me to see the
turkey on the table, said Ahmad.
Even the presidents annual
pardoning of turkeys, which takes
place at the White House on
Wednesday, doesnt escape criti-
cism.
I think its really in bad taste,
said Jenny Brown of Woodstock
Farm Sanctuary in the Catskill
Mountains in upstate New York.
Te pardon might be amusing to
the public but hundreds of mil-
lions of birds deserve that same
deal.
Woodstock threw its Tanks-
giving event in October when
the weather was better and the
Catskill leaves were changing
color, which helps attract guests.
Te turkeys were wandering
around among us, just like dogs
would. It was unbelievable, said
Jasmin Singer, who attended the
event.
Singer, executive director of
Ourhenhouse.org, an animal
advocacy website, is one of the
few among her turkey-hugging
friends who will not be seeing a
family turkey on the table this
Tanksgiving.
My 86-year-old grandmother
went vegetarian this year, so that
was the last holdout. Now theres
no turkey. My brother eats meat
but hes a thousand miles away.
When he turns up for family
dinners, hes the odd one out, she
said.
Most turkey-hugging celebra-
tions are happening within days
of Tanksgiving.
Its always fun. When the
guests come for Tanksgiving, the
turkeys look at them sideways,
trying to fgure them out. If they
trust you, they love to be petted.
Tey become like family, said
Lorri Houston, founder of Ani-
mals Acres in Acton, Calif.
Houston is likely the inventor
of the turkey-petting Tanksgiv-
ing, having frst organized one in
1986, afer she co-founded Farm
Sanctuary and was living in a row
house in Wilmington, Del. It was
coming up to Tanksgiving and
I remember saying: Tis is a sad
festival for turkey lovers, unless
we turn it on its head and feed the
turkeys. Now there are turkey-
feeding Tanksgivings all over the
country.
So what about middle-of-
the road meat eaters who think
turkeys are cute? May they attend
turkey-friendly Tanksgivings?
Absolutely, said Houston, who
held the Animal Acres $35 a head
Tanksgiving dinner and Turkey
feeding event on Saturday. Tis
isnt just about preaching to the
converted. Come and see these
beautiful birds, make that connec-
tion yourself. Tey love humans
and cuddle up you to like cats.
For Smalley, who said he is
vegan for his own health as much
as for the birds, the conversion to
turkey love can be gradual.
I never thought I would love
them, but they just grow on you,
he said. Teres no way I could
enjoy Tanksgiving now unless
the turkey is having a good time
too.

more family members made the trip
from Colombia to Lawrence, includ-
ing recently-elected Colombian
President Juan Manuel Santos. Luis
son, Luis, Jr., now lives in Lawrence
and his granddaughter, Alexandra,
is the third generation to attend the
University.
Santos stopped by The Kansan
recently and talked about what drew
him to Lawrence, the family-owned
media company celebrating its cen-
tennial birthday in January and how
his family has balanced that with
having a Santos become president
of its country.
Kansan: When you decided to
study in the United States, what
made KU your choice?
Santos: When I mentioned at a
very young age that I wanted to study
journalism, my father and my uncle
used to say Aah, you dont have to
study journalism, youre born with
it, or You get your hands full of
ink that was the comment. And
I insisted, No, I want to give it a try,
I want to give it a try, I want to study
journalism overseas. And I started
looking for different options. At the
time there was no Internet. There
was a big book and you just went
through all the pages and try to
get information. I had preselected
Syracuse, Marquette, Missouri and
Kansas from what I had read in
these big catalogues of the universi-
ties at the time. And by coincidence
there was a meeting of United Press
Correspondents in Bogota and I got
to meet a lot of professional jour-
nalists. I was still in high school at
the time and I started asking them,
Where would you recommend me
to go? Several of them were very
aware with the William Allen White
School of Journalism and they said,
Look, thats a good place to go.
Lawrence is a great place. I had
never been to Kansas. The only
reference I had of Kansas was The
Wizard of Oz.
Kansan: What kept your family
coming back after you graduated?
Santos: When I came to KU my
freshman experience in the dorms
and the sports and the university
environment that I found here,
plus the friendliness of the Kansan
people was such that I said, Look,
Im just having a wonderful time,
if youre thinking about studying
overseas you should give it a try here
at Kansas. So they started coming
here and they certainly loved it.
Kansan: How has your fam-
ily avoided a conflict of interest with
family in media and government?
Santos: Its been difficult. Its been
difficult because the whole purpose
of the company is to acquire cred-
ibility and that your readers or your
TV viewers and your audiences
understand that youre trying to be
as impartial as possible as fair as
possible in your coverage of the
news. This is something my father
and my uncle had worked very hard
to do because in the 40s and the
50s, newspapers in Colombia were
totally politicized. Party newspa-
pers instead of independent news-
papers. El Tiempo made a big effort
to become independent, not party
affiliated. If you had to criticize
the government, you criticized the
government. The first thing that
happened to us is that Juan Manuel
who had worked overseas came
to work at El Tiempo, and while
he was working at El Tiempo he
received an offer to be the first
minister of commerce. So when he
accepted that he was going into
politics it was quite a shock. It was
very rough. A lot of family conflicts.
We accepted that he had the right
to do it, couldnt tell him not to do
it. From that moment on there was
a rule in the family that whoever
went into politics would never come
back to the newspaper ever. And he
was immediately cut off from all
the meetings. He could not be on
the board of directors and attend
family meetings where business was
the subject and that was accepted
by the family. I think we managed it
rather well. It wasnt easy. Weve had
to manage the situation of family
members in government. Its been
difficult. The family as a whole
understood that what we had to do
was defend the newspaper and we
could do nothing to prevent these
persons from going into govern-
ment. They werent in government
representing any of the interests of
the newspapers. They complained
that newspapers were much more
severe with them than with other
politicians, which was truthful in
the sense that we wanted to send a
message. But it was something that
we had to live with. And I think we
managed rather well.
Kansan: Colombia, like Mexico
today, suffered much drug cartel-
related violence in the 1990s. How
did the media handle this and how
might Mexican media learn from
this?
Santos: They bombed the build-
ing of El Espectador, which was the
No. 2 newspaper. They killed the
editor of El Espectador. They kid-
napped the managing editor of El
Tiempo. They put bombs in a lot of
newspapers but they never silenced
newspapers. What newspapers did
in agreement very rapidly is that
every bit of news that had to do
with the cartels and the drug lords
would be published in every single
newspaper and nobody signed it. So
we took away the names to protect
the reporters and every newspaper
said we would print it on the front
page or wherever. It was a massive
situation so they couldnt pinpoint
one newspaper or the other and it
worked quite well.
Kansan: What was the first place
you went to eat when you last visited
Lawrence?
Santos: Thats a good question.
One of the beautiful things about
Lawrence is it has maintained its
feel and look. Last time I came I told
my son to take me to Pizza Hut and
we went to Pizza Hut but I ordered
a beer and they did not have beers!
I was really depressed that they did
not have beer at Pizza Hut.

Denise Linville cant stop smil-
ing.
Linville, a journalism professor
at the University, just won her
first Honor for an Outstanding
Progressive Educator award.
Im probably going to take
it home for
Thanksgiving
and show it
off, Linville
said.
The H.O.P.E.
award, estab-
lished at the
University by
the class of
1959, is the only
honor given by
students for
teaching excellence. Linville, one
of seven finalists for the award,
receieved the award during half-
time of the Kansas football game
on Saturday.
Linville said she still cant
believe she won the award but is
quick to give praise to the other
finalists.
We spend so much time in the
classroom, she said. The stu-
dents see us at our best and our
worst, so its great to know they
think what were doing is worth
recognizing.
T h e
KU Board
of Class
Officers sent
an e-mail to
all seniors
in October
asking them
to nominate
a professor.
The seven
finalists for
the award
were interviewed by the board,
and then visited during a lecture
to assess how how they interacted
with their students.
The finalists for the award
included Kerry Benson, a journal-
ism professor who has been nomi-
nated for the award seven times.
Linville has taught at the
University for 27 years, 25 of
those years being in the school of
journalism. This was her second
time as a finalist for her strategic
communications and marketing
research class.
At tonights mens basketball
game, Linville will be receiving
the Mortar Board Honor Society
Outstanding Educator Award,
another award which recognizes
her achievements as an educator.
Just from sitting in on her class,
she is engaging and lively. She
incorporated traditional lectures,
YouTube videos, and websites,
said Megan Do, a senior from
Wichita and board chairwoman.
Students were really engaged and
she knew students by name. She is
truly progressive and up to date.

Galo Salcedo knows what it
means to be homesick in college.
But unlike most KU students,
Salcedo couldnt go home during
breaks, because his home is in
Ecuador.
Breaks are really hard for
international students, because
they dont have a place to be when
everyone else is home with their
families, said Salcedo, an alum-
nus of the University.
Salcedo is now the program
director of International Student
and Scholar Services and coordi-
nates the Thanksgiving Homestay
Program.
The Thanksgiving Homestay
Program serves as an alterna-
tive to staying on campus over
Thanksgiving weekend.The pro-
gram takes applications from
international students and local
families, and then matches stu-
dents with homes to go to for the
Thanksgiving holiday.
I try to find the best fit for
everyone, said Salcedo. Some
families want students from cer-
tain parts of the world, or that
speak certain languages.
This year, more than 30 stu-
dents applied for the program and
24 families applied to host them.
Kourtney McNorton, a sopho-
more from Topeka, will be host-
ing a foreign exchange student
with her family this year.
It brings a new excitement
to the holiday, because this will
break our familys normal rou-
tine, said McNorton. We will get
to share it with someone who has
never experienced it before.
In past years, Salcedo says, stu-
dents had to be turned down from
the program because there were
not enough families to host them.
This year, every student will be
matched with a family.
We dont have Thanksgiving
in other countries, so its great
that everyone wants to help out,
said Salcedo. Everyone is so gen-
erous. I think when they actually
get to experience it, international
students really enjoy this holi-
day.
Candice Pears, a junior from
York, England, had her first taste
of Thanksgiving at Mrs. Es din-
ing hall.
We dont have this food in
other countries, said Pears.
There were lots of strange pump-
kin pie type things. It was alright,
actually.
Because most of the dorms
close over break, international
students must find a living alter-
native for the long weekend. If
students stay at the University,
according to the Department of
Housing, they move from their
residence hall to McCollum Hall,
and an additional charge is added
to their Enroll & Pay.
It is incredibly lonely, to be
just sitting in a dorm alone while
everyone else goes home, said
Salcedo.
Pears, who is going to a friends
house in Overland Park for the
break, said many international
students go on vacations or spend
time together during breaks.
We kind of have to rely on
Americans, since they are the
ones with homes here, said Pears.
I know some kids are going to
Chicago and St. Louis, so theyre
going to stick together.
Although the application
deadline has already passed for
the Homestay Program, Salcedo
encourages KU students to reach
out to their international class-
mates or friends for the holidays.
It really helps to be invited
somewhere, said Salcedo. Then,
youre kind of like a part of the
family and have a home away
from home.

anti-bullying bill
passed to governor
treNtON, N.J. New Jersey
lawmakers have approved what
advocates say will be the nations
toughest laws to fght bullying in
institutions of learning.
the state General Assembly
and Senate overwhelmingly
passed the bill Monday. it now
goes to Gov. Chris Christie.
it would require anti-bullying
programs in public schools and
language in college codes of
conduct to address bullying. the
measure would update a law on
the books since 2002.
the bill has been in the works
for some time but gained atten-
tion after the high-profle suicide
of rutgers university freshman
tyler Clementi. He killed himself
in September after his roommate
allegedly spied on his liaison
with a man on a webcam.
the republican governor has
not said whether he would sign
the bill, but he spoke out against
bullying after Clementis death.

Toy Story 3 lobbies
for best picture win
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Were going for the best
picture win. We wanted to
have the best movie and the
reviews have clearly said that
and its the No. 1 box-ofce hit
of the year, so Im not sure why
we would not go for it all.
Who is
this guy
and what
movie is
he talking
about?
Chris-
topher
Nolan, on
his much-
hyped
blockbust-
er Inception? David Fincher,
on his rapturously reviewed
drama Te Social Network?
Nope, its Walt Disney
Studios chairman Rich Ross
discussing Disney-Pixars Toy
Story 3 on the entertainment
website Deadline. Hes talking
pretty big, considering that no
animated flm has ever won
best picture.
And yet, it could happen.
According to Deadline, Dis-
ney is launching a bona fde
campaign, creating ads that
will associate Toy Story 3
characters with Oscar winners
like Te Godfather: Part II
(with the chubby bear Lotso
doing Al Pacino) and Forrest
Gump (featuring Woody, who
is voiced by Tom Hanks).
Dont underestimate Dis-
ney-Pixar, a partnership of two
high-achieving studios. Both
have received special Oscars
for animated
flms: Disneys
1937 Snow
White and
the Seven
Dwarfs, and
Pixars 1995
Toy Story.
Tey also
produced the
only animated
flms to be
nominated for best picture:
Disneys 1991 Beauty and
the Beast, and Pixars Up,
released last year.
Up didnt stand a chance
against the eventual winner,
the heavyweight war drama
Te Hurt Locker. Te com-
petition this year, however,
seems slimmer, with few obvi-
ous Oscar gorillas. Tat just
might leave room for a bunch
of animated toys.

Love & Other Drugs revives
genre of romantic comedy
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
For the past few years, fans of
romantic comedy have had bitter
pills to swallow.
From J-Los The Back-Up Plan
to nearly anything with Jennifer
Aniston in it, the once-buoyant
genre has become limp and bor-
ing, hamstrung by an assembly-
line mentality toward filmmaking
that regards originality as if it were
Nancy Pelosi at a Sarah Palin pep
rally.
So lets give thanks for, and bestow
a big smooch on, the risk-taking
ways of Love & Other Drugs. The
passionate dramedy about the com-
bustible relationship between phar-
maceutical salesman Jamie Randall
(Jake Gyllenhaal) and artist/cafe
worker Maggie Murdock (Anne
Hathaway) is just the antidote the
romantic comedy has desperately
needed.
Its sexy, its funny, its sexy, its sad,
and, oh my, is it ever sexy.
Its also imperfect, and at its
best whenever director and co-
screenwriter Edward Zwick keeps
the focus on his flawed lovebirds
tumultuous relationship and shows
us how it evolves from dynamite sex
to real love.
Zwick has proved time and again
hes a master at dealing with char-
acters who are a hot mess, from
TVs thirtysomething to 1986s
About Last Night with Rob Lowe
and Demi Moore. In fact, elements
from the very good Night echo
throughout Love & Other Drugs,
including the sex-to-love theme and
the rampant nudity of its luscious
leads.
Yet Zwicks ambition is bigger
here. Although you couldnt tell it
from the chirpy trailer, the drama
boldly tackles the drug industry and
touchingly depicts a person and
then a couple dealing with the
early stages of Parkinsons disease.
Not that it completely works. Zwicks
film occasionally suffers from ADD
and scampers off into too many
directions for its own good. More
often than not, though, he mixes
the comedy with the drama and the
emotion effectively. Most certainly
his two leads do.
Zwick, along with co-screenwrit-
ers Charles Randolph and Marshall
Herskovtiz, have loosely adapted
Jamie Reidys tell-all book Hard
Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra
Salesman, retaining the stinging
commentary on the pharmaceutical
business and expanding on it by cre-
ating the character of Maggie.
Its a juicy part for Hathaway,
whos luminous and touchy as an
acerbic woman whose affliction
has made her emotionally wall out
everyone around her. The fiery
Maggie meets a formidable match
in Jamie, a bedroom-eyed charmer
who can woo anyone into a tumble.
But its Maggie, not Jamie, who initi-
ates the canoodling after they meet
in a doctors office.
Like Hathaway, Gyllenhaal is a
perfect fit for his part. His charac-
ter Jamie might exude confidence
and the promise of great sex, but
underneath the tailored suit and
slicked-back hair lies a decent guy
who doesnt have a clue about who
he is. Gyllenhaal is a natural at play-
ing this carefree boy-man, his smile
always in full bloom, masking the
fears that hide inside.
Interspersed in this romance,
Zwick skewers the pharmaceutical
industry, capturing the outlandish-
ness of a Vegas-style boot camp for
new sales recruits, while showing
us the addictive and highly sexual
nature of being part of the biz.
On the downside, the writers
overexert themselves trying to reveal
so many aspects of Big Pharm, by
creating secondary characters such
as Hank Azarias unscrupulous doc
who takes freebies in exchange for
sexual hookups, and Gabriel Macht
as Jamies Prozac-touting nemesis.
Both come off like props, and make
you aware that the movies a bit of a
soapbox.
But ultimately its the chemistry
that old-fashioned key ingredient
in any successful love story that
fires up Love & Other Drugs and
reduces minor quibbles to ash.
Were going for the best
picture win ... Its the No.
1 box-ofce hit of the
year.

Democrats lose footing,
but still have to hold on
LeFT side
W
hen Sam Brownback
was elected to replace
Mark Parkinson as
Kansas next governor on Nov.
2, he made higher education a
top priority. But his current tax
position puts him at odds with
providing public universities with
state funding. More clarifcation
is needed from Brownback on his
position.
In his Road Map for Kansas,
Brownback said his goal for higher
education was to stabilize funding
so our public universities remain
strong to power a robust 21st cen-
tury Kansas economy, and some of
his more specifc goals focus on the
biosciences such as getting the Na-
tional Cancer Institute designation
at the University of Kansas Cancer
Center and improving the rankings
of the University of Kansas School
of Medicine.
While these are good goals
for the state, it is uncertain how
Brownback will be able to provide
public universities with the state
funding needed to achieve them
with his current tax position.
Brownback is opposed to an
increase in taxes and said he
plans to stabilize state funding for
high education by increasing the
revenue of state taxes. By keeping
taxes low and reducing regulation,
he plans to create a business envi-
ronment that will promote growth.
But is this plan realistic? If his plan
doesnt create enough revenue,
Brownback will either be forced to
make more cuts or go against his
current position and raise taxes.
Brownback needs to clarify what
exactly his plan is to increase state
revenue through taxes without rais-
ing them or creating new ones.
Another troubling action
Brownback has made toward
higher education is his lack of sup-
port for the Kansas Commitment,
a proposal to increase state funding
by $50.4 million. According to a
Nov. 2 article in Te Kansan, Tom
Holland, the democratic candidate
who Brownback defeated by 27
percentage points (62 percent to
35 percent), endorsed the commit-
ment afer he received a letter from
the student body presidents at the
six regents universities urging him
to do so. Brownback was sent the
same letter and did not support the
proposal. Tis lack of support ques-
tions Brownbacks commitment to
providing much-needed funding to
higher education institutions.
Even in a time of economic
turmoil, higher education needs to
be a top priority for the state. With
a budget that has been slashed,
higher education institutions across
the state are facing extreme cuts
and they need more funding.
In his Road Map For Kansas,
Brownback promised that within
the frst month, we will have an
encompassing, integrated plan to
meet the needs of our time. Tat
deadline is fast approaching and in
that plan Brownback needs to clar-
ify where he stands on providing
more funding for higher education
and his current tax position.

The reason why people dont go to the hospital for drinking rum
and cokes is the caffeine content. 135 mg of caffeine is a signifi-
cantly larger amount than the caffeine coming from a small glass
of coke, And also the alcohol content of a Four Loko is about
four times that of a drink one may normally mix in a bar. THIS
is why it is a deadly combination. The large drink can, as well as
the flavoring both mask the fact that it is a drink that should be
consumed over a long period of time. Studies have indicated that
a young woman drinking the same alcohol content of a Four Loko
within an hour would bring her BAL up to .15, twice the legal
limit.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
T
he election came and
went and it didnt go too
well for Team Blue, as
you no doubt already know. Te
sweep wasnt completely shat-
tering, however; the Democrats
did keep the Senate and the vile
Sharron Angle lost. Tese are
no small things to be sure,
and you can bet I was thank-
ing my lucky stars in the
early hours that Wednesday
morning.
What to make of the election?
Clearly, voters didnt know what
they were getting into. Its been
said that most brilliant thing
the right has done is to trick
average Americans into voting
against their own interests. What
is it going to take for people to
understand that Republicans in
power are, to put it delicately,
not concerned about most of the
population?
Tis is the party, remember,
that blocked the extension of
unemployment benefts numer-
ous times in the past year on the
basis that they werent paid for.
Tey chose to forget that this sort
of economic stimulus/emergency
assistance money isnt usually
immediately ofset, hence calling
it an emergency. Tis is also the
party that, in March, blocked a
reauthorization for funding the
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families program. To name just
one more thing (and there are
many) this is also the party that
would much more readily cut
funding for already weak and
vulnerable student aid, veterans
benefts, and food stamps than
defense.
While the Republican Party has
its problems, the Democrats arent
that great either. Tey too are
all funded by corporations, and
those in power are also mostly
rich white guys. Yes. I get it. But,
as Bill Maher put so well, better
a disappointing friend than a
deadly enemy.
It is worth noting that some
Democrats tend to care about the
underprivileged. Tey tend to not
want to heap more benefts on
the super rich. Sometimes, they
acknowledge the fact that inequal-
ity exists in this country. Tey
tend to realize that the federal
government has an important
role to play in things like public
aid. Tey are sometimes, but not
all the time, actively in favor of
expanding civil rights. Tey are
ofen willing to compromise. Tey
even occasionally propose things
that would beneft the economy
see, for example, food stamps and
public infrastructure projects.
Sometimes, they even act upon
these concerns, and results beneft
people. All people? Probably
not. True democratic policies
arent going to do much for the
extremely, unbelievably rich.
But I can handle thatthats
not going to be me, or you, or
hardly any of us. Id rather have
policies that beneft my own
interests, and especially the kinds
of policies I know I could count
on if I or my family ever landed
on hard times. Id like to be able to
trust the government to help my
family get through if my stepfa-
ther lost his job. Call me selfsh.
Te next two years will be
rough. I predict a sluggish econo-
my and, if the House has anything
to do with it, little advancement
in civil rights. How did I come to
these conclusions? Well, for one,
shortly afer they were elected,
new Republican governors joined
other Republican leaders in vow-
ing to kill a high speed rail that
would have provided jobs using
stimulus money and linked sev-
eral Midwestern cities together.
And on Nov. 17, Republicans in
the Senate voted unanimously to
defeat legislation that would nar-
row the pay gap between women
and men.
Will people realize that when
their benefts are cut and their
quality of life decreases or fails
to increase, it is not entirely the
Presidents fault? Tat the lef
fought to improve the economy
and peoples lives? Will people
realize the consequences of their
actions?
I want to encourage my fel-
low disappointed liberals to not
give up. Dont disappear, dont
become jaded. Keep calling your
representatives and senators, keep
paying attention to the news, keep
talking with friends and family
members. Yes, things are going to
be disheartening for a while, but it
will be all the worse if we leave the
picture entirely.
Free is a sophomore from
Blue springs, Mo., in womens

Once upon a time, in a land
far, far removed from our own,
there were only drunken face-to-
face conversations. Ten came
drunk phone calls, and then things
escalated from there: Drunk
texting, drunk Tweeting and drunk
Facebooking have all become
common sources of shocked
embarrassment the morning afer.
Te fact that social networking
has become a platform for
expressing our inebriated voices is
disturbing. Whats more disturbing
is that weve allowed it to become a
cultural phenomenon.
Youd be hard pressed to fnd a
college student or high school
or middle school student, for
that matter who has not heard
of (and downloaded the iPhone
app for) Texts From Last Night,
a website that posts funny drunk
texts submitted by users, complete
with ratings and comments. While
hilarious, the website (and book
that followed) glorifes the poor
decision-making that goes hand-
in-hand with alcohol.
Te increasing prevalence of
smartphones has only made it
easier for us to humiliate ourselves.
Constant Internet access means
drunk Facebook statuses, wall
posts and chatting, drunk tweets
and even drunk e-mails (likely the
least common because e-mail is so,
like, 2003). Ours is a culture that
is obsessed with sharing our lives
through social networking and
ours is a generation that is drunk
on it.
Tis trend has reached epidemic
proportions, as evidenced by
the Social Media Sobriety Test, a
free Firefox extension. Te Test
allows users to pick their social
networking websites of choice
and complete simple tasks (like
dragging the cursor in a straight
line) in order to gain access to their
own accounts.
Upon visiting
SocialMediaSobrietyTest.com,
one is greeted with the warning
Nothing good happens online
afer 1 a.m. On the right-hand
side of the page, there is a Twitter
feed with the title Avoidable Posts
From Last Night, which displays
a stream of blatantly drunken
tweets (though when they were
posted and whether they are real is
unclear).
On the one hand, we are
acknowledging our little alcohol/
Internet problem. On the other
hand, we are trusting a computers
judgment over our own. Webroot,
the company that makes the Social
Network Sobriety Test, believes in
protecting you in every aspect of
your life.
Remember the days when
computer security systems
protected us from hackers and
viruses? Now, theyre protecting
us from ourselves. Weve decided
that social networking under the
infuence is a problem outside our
control, so were asking someone
else to fx it for us. Tis wont
eradicate drunk Facebook statuses
were experts at circumventing
the system. If were drunk and have
something we want to say, we will
fnd a way to say it.
Te frst step is admitting it. Hi,
my name is __________, and I am
a drunk social networker. Ten,
instead of relying on a computer
application, take the steps to break
the addiction on your own terms
for good.

Study reafrms KU alcohol abuse prevention eforts
BY GARTH SEARS
gsears@kansan.com
About ten days after the
University debuted its newest
responsible-drinking campaign, a
large federally funded study con-
cluded that similar campaigns can
help cut down on the dangerous
habit.
The Jayhawk Buddy System,
which began this month, is the lat-
est effort made by the University
to curb the problem. The new pro-
gram encourages students to stay
with a buddy while drinking.
Colleges and surrounding com-
munities that team up to com-
bat alcohol abuse have been met
with some success, according to
a recent press release for a study
funded by the National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse. The study tested
the effectiveness of 14 California
public universities alcohol abuse
prevention programs and will be
published next month in the the
American Journal of Preventative
Medicine.
Its findings in some ways reaf-
firm the concerted effort made by
the University and city organiza-
tions in recent years to promote
safer drinking habits among stu-
dents.
THE UNIVERSITY
After two alcohol-related deaths
in early 2009, the University has
been pushing for more responsible
student drinking.
Beginning in the semester after
these deaths, incoming students
who were 21 or younger were
required to take an online alco-
hol education course. And the
University already had SafeBus
and SafeRide, which are available
at night for KU students who need
a ride home.
The Jayhawk Buddy System
debuted Nov. 1. Similar to the suc-
cessful universities in California,
it focuses on off-campus drink-
ing, since the University has a dry
campus.
Molly Kretzer, a senior from
Wichita, was on a team that
came up with the Jayhawk Buddy
System. Her team was one of six
that did research on responsible-
drinking campaigns at campuses
across the nation in associate pro-
fessor of journalism Bob Basows
campaigns class.
Kretzer said that KU students
go to bars more often than those
at other universities, probably
because of the strict dry campus
rules.
Her class also found that stu-
dents respond better to positive
messages not preaching or
scare tactics. She said the best
option was a blend was a posi-
tive message coupled with strict
enforcement, a sort of good cop-
bad cop routine. Those two ele-
ments a publicized campaign
and more enforcement were
the two key factors to preventing
alcohol abuse, according to the
California study.
We didnt just say, Give us your
best ideas. We said, Go out and
research what works, said Frank
DeSalvo, associate vice provost of
student success and customer of
the campaigns class.
THE commUNITY
One of the most important
aspects of success of the schools
in the California study was that
the universities werent alone, but
got support from the community
and local law enforcement.
It has to be a multi-faceted
approach, DeSalvo said. No sin-
gle thing will work.
The GaDuGi SafeCenter,
Douglas Countys rape crisis cen-
ter, created the Safe Bar Alliance
over the summer. Its a coalition of
bars, restaurants, and taxi services
who have agreed to keep an eye
out for their patrons health.
Its not just a title, Kretzer said.
Its something they must do.
Kretzer, who also is working
with the alliance, said the compa-
nies who sign up are obligated to
stop harassment and help drunk
people find a safe ride home, and
bartenders even have to know the
phone number to a taxi, instead
of being a bystander.
Kretzer said seven bar own-
ers communicated with her cam-
paigns class from its start, and
she is trying to recruit as many
Lawrence bars to join the alliance
as she can.
Its just going to take time,
she said.
DeSalvo said the unified front
between University and commu-
nity told the students two things.
One, youre important to us,
he said. Second, youre doing a
lot of things right, and well rein-
force that. Well remind you.
THE fUTURE
While the Safe Bar Alliance is
adding as many new bars as it
can, the University has plans on
its side of the fence, too.
DeSalvo said his office is work-
ing with SafeBus to put its stops
in more convenient places for stu-
dents.
A website for the Jayhawk
Buddy System is expected early
next semester, and DeSalvo said
he hoped that a corresponding
toolkit would be ready by spring
break.
The University police have
started putting the buddy system
logo on their cars, but its only on
a few so far.
Its an easy partnership we have
with student success, University
police chief Ralph Oliver said,
and we want to keep it that way.
Oliver said the police was in the
process of being educated about
the buddy system and they would
be able to talk about it, for exam-
ple when people at a basketball
game ask about the logo.
DeSalvo said that one of his
offices biggest challenges was
dealing with the high rate of stu-
dent turnover from year to year.
Its difficult to get a message out
to people if a third of them leave
every year.
The ultimate goal is for us
to encourage a culture change in
the students, he said. That takes
time.
Edited by Michael Bednar
the study started in 2003
by examining 14 large pub-
lic universities in california.
then, half of the universities
and their local communities
started combining responsi-
ble-drinking campaigns with
stricter enforcement on stu-
dents drinking of campus,
while half stayed the same.
students at the enforcing uni-
versities did better than the
others. they are about 6 per-
cent less likely to get drunk
anywhere, 9 percent less like-
ly to get drunk at of-campus
parties, and 15 percent less
likely at bars and restaurants.
the studys press release
pointed out that the most
successful schools were the
universities with the highest
intensitity of cracking down,
complete with heavy public-
ity and highly visible enforce-
ment.
students didnt just choose to
go elsewhere, either. the study
reported that non-targeted
areas like parks, beaches and
residence halls didnt see an
increase in alcohol use.
between 500 and 1,000 stu-
dents per campus per year
flled out an online survey for
four years for the study.
Joint efforts between campus groups and surrounding community prove effective in discouraging risky drinking habits off campus

JOB OPENING FOR
AT THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
BY KORY CARPENTER
kcarpener@kansan.com
Recruit, beat Missouri,
recruit...
Those were just some of the
goals coach Turner Gill outlined
in his opening press conference last
December. His first season has been
tough on fans and players alike.
And the Missouri game will be no
different, as the Tigers are 9-2 and
No. 14 in the latest BCS rankings.
Theres no doubt, however, that
the first-year coach understands
the importance of the Border
Showdown between Kansas and
Missouri.
We do understand the magni-
tude of this football game, as far as
our alumnus, former players that
have played in this game, Gill said.
We know its a very meaningful
game, and its also a chance for us to
finish strong on a good note.
Saturdays Border Showdown
wont push the Jayhawks into a bowl
game, and barring a Colorado upset
over Nebraska Thursday, it wont
affect Missouris standings in the
Big 12 either. But try telling that to
the 2008 Kansas team, who came
into the season finale on a two game
losing streak after dropping out of
the top 25. Missouri was ranked
and favored by two touchdowns,
but that didnt stop Kerry Meier and
Co. from pulling off an upset in one
of the best games in the rivalrys his-
tory, the Jayhawks winning 40-37.
The losses earlier that year were
quickly forgotten after the win over
Missouri. And if the Kansas coach-
ing staff knows anything about
history, they know this: a win on
Saturday over the Tigers, who are
favored by more than three touch-
downs, will ease many of the pains
felt by Kansas fans during the sea-
son.
It hasnt been the easiest season
to be a Kansas fan, coach, or player,
as the team has struggled to its
3-8 record going into the Border
Showdown.
Its not as good as we definitely
hoped for, Gill noted of his first
year in Lawrence. We would have
liked to be bowl-eligible, but were
still very confident that we will
build a winning program at the
University of Kansas.
Whether Gill and his staff even-
tually turn Kansas football into a
winning program remains to be
seen. But a win over the teams
heavily favored rival could do won-
ders heading into the offseason.

Brady Morningstar, the elder
statesman of the Kansas team who
will turn 25 this season, remem-
bers what it feels like. He knows
how quiet Allen Fieldhouse and the
Kansas locker room can be when
the Jayhawks lose in their home
building. He was
on the bench
more than three
years ago when
Kansas lost to
Texas A&M, and
he doesnt want
to feel that again.
He wont even
bring it up with
his teammates.
N o b o d y
knows what it
feels like, you know what Im say-
ing? Morningstar said. They dont
want to know what it feels like.
A victory tonight would stretch
the Jayhawks home winning streak
to a school-record 63 games. And
so the 15 other Jayhawks that share
the locker room with Kansas only
fifth-year senior remain blissfully
unaware of that sensation. Not that
theyre complaining.
That wouldnt be fun, Tyrel
Reed said of losing a game in the
Fieldhouse. Ive been here three
years, and the senior class hasnt
lost here yet and its just a big
thing for us and we want to keep
it going.
To keep it going the Jayhawks
will look for reliable play from their
deep stable of guards to comple-
ment the always reliable Morris
twins inside. Six guards seniors
Mario Little, Morningstar and Reed,
junior Tyshawn Taylor, and sopho-
mores Elijah Johnson and Travis
Releford are already competing
for at most five spots in what will
be the Jayhawks traditional eight-
man rotation. And that is without
ultra-talented freshman Josh Selby,
who isnt cleared to play until Dec.
18 against USC.
Hes going to be a great player
for us, Reed said. I think he just
brings something different; an ele-
ment of toughness, an element of
Im not going to lose, Im going
to go do whatever it takes to win.
I think its really going to help our
team. Sherron
had that a little
bit.
Reed said
the toughness
of Selby was
something you
could just see,
even though
they havent
played in a
game together.
He just doesnt want to lose at
anything, Reed said. He just takes
everything whether it be basketball,
or I mean, if you were playing
a game of tiddlywinks I think hed
take it personal.
Selbys one of the lucky ones in
that hes all but guaranteed a spot
in the Kansas rotation (Self said
Friday when Selby was cleared that
he would have a big role in the
Jayhawks season). Tyshawn Taylor,
too, is guaranteed the spot, and
Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar
bring too much to the table as
the only four-or-more year players
getting legitimate playing time for
Self to dismiss them entirely. That
leaves Johnson, Releford and Little
battling for one spot, but Little said
the competition for minutes doesnt
bother him.
Coach deals the deck, Little
said. Thats his job. Thats what we
came here for: to fight and to play
for our position. Thats why we
came here.

New coach realizes
magnitude of game
T
heres a lot of excitement
surrounding the Kansas
basketball team right now.
Te Jayhawks are 3-0, freshman
guard Josh Selby has been cleared to
play on Dec. 18, and a win tonight
would break the school record for
consecutive wins at home.
However, lets not forget one thing.
Its Missouri week. Tis Saturday the
Kansas football team will take on the
Tigers for the 119th time in history.
Its the second most played rivalry in
college football history. As it stands,
the Jayhawks lead the all-time series
55-54-9, meaning a Missouri win
would tie things up between to two
schools.
However, a Kansas win may not
be as far-fetched as youd initially
think.
Kansas and Missouri moved the
rivalry game to Arrowhead Stadium
in Kansas City three years ago. Te
frst game in the professional stadi-
um featured two teams ranked in the
top fve in the country. Kansas was
ranked second at the time and was
playing its last regular season game,
in what was a complete surprise of
the season. Tey set a Kansas foot-
ball record for most wins in a season
and faced the Tigers without a loss
and with realistic hopes of playing
for the national championship.
Over 80,000 people packed into
Arrowhead and witnessed the Tigers
hand the Jayhawks their frst loss of
the season. Kansas would go on to
play in the Orange Bowl that season,
beating Virginia Tech for their frst
BCS Bowl victory in school history.
Missouri went on to lose the Big 12
Championship game to Oklahoma
before winning the Cotton Bowl
Classic versus Arkansas.
It was the frst of three epic games
between Kansas and Missouri at Ar-
rowhead.
Te two schools met the next year
when Kansas, afer losing consider-
able talent to the NFL draf and to
graduation, was having a down year
compared to the success of the previ-
ous year, but all things considered, it
was still an exciting season for Kan-
sas football. Missouri was ranked
11th when they faced the unranked
Jayhawks and Kansas was looking to
spoil the Tigers hopes of playing in
a BCS Bowl game that season. In a
back and forth game, Kansas won
on a last second pass from Todd Re-
esing to Kerry Meier, winning the
Jayhawks one of the most exciting
Border Wars in school history.
Last year, despite the Jayhawks
winning only their frst Big 12 Con-
ference game of the year, they still
put up a fght against Missouri in the
fnal game of the season. Kansas lost
only 41-39.
Now, the Jayhawks will look to
duplicate last years competitive per-
formance by keeping things close
with Missouri. Over the last three
Border Showdowns at Arrowhead,
the margin of victory by the winning
team has been eight, three and two
respectively.
Over Missouris last fve games
this season, the margin of victory
by the winning team has only been
an average of 10.8 points. Te Tigers
havent been blowing people out
lately and have only won three of
those last fve games.
Te Kansas seniors that have com-
peted in the last three Showdowns
know that in Arrowhead Stadium,
anything can happen. Afer the se-
niors last home game against Okla-
homa State, coach Turner Gill was
already thinking about leaving on a
positive note against the Tigers.
Im glad they have one more
game and hopefully we can fnish on
a great note for those guys, he said.

S
ports and holidays are combined
all the time. Every year the NBA
matches up two premiere teams on
Christmas Day to draw the highest rat-
ings. Baseball celebrates the Fourth of
July by making the logos on their hats
red, white and blue. College football over-
runs the beginning of every new year,
with so many bowls that they are now
spread out during 23 days, including six
on New Years Day and four on New Years
Eve. That doesnt even include the BCS
National Championship game, which isnt
even played until January 10. Nonetheless,
the ultimate marriage between sports and
holidays comes with Thanksgiving and
football.
This relationship stands so tall above all
the rest, it is as if the two are married to
each other. They are so intertwined that it
is hard for me to imagine one without the
other. Personally, I consider the three Fs
of Thanksgiving to be Family, Food and
Football.
Football has a long history of games
being played on Thanksgiving at all lev-
els, ranging from professional to high
school games. Even the Canadian Football
League has jumped on this, holding
an annual double header on Canadian
Thanksgiving.
The NFL on Thanksgiving provides an
opportunity to watch three more games
than the typical football weekend. I will
admit that the new Thanksgiving Day
MVP trophies do not match up to John
Maddens six-legged Turducken. Despite
the fact that there is no marquee match-
up between two playoff contenders this
season, it still offers a great excuse to
change the television from the monoto-
nous and drawn out Thanksgiving Day
Parade that has never been able to hold
my attention. I will always choose to
watch the Detroit Lions over a big, inflat-
able Snoopy.
However, the most exciting football on
Thanksgiving takes place in backyards
across America. It is the Turkey Bowl
games where middle-aged men with bad
backs try to relive their high school glory
days and overly competitive youngsters
try to prove themselves worthy in the eyes
of their older relatives. Injuries occasion-
ally visit these contests of athletic prow-
ess, but lasting memories and friendly
rivalries between family and friends are
formed.
And in 2006, at the request of the
Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt,
the NFL added a third game in the eve-
ning to the NFL Thanksgiving slate. This
evening game is the best part because
now after running myself ragged in the
backyard and gorging myself full of tur-
key, potatoes, and other classic thanksgiv-
ing foods, I can retire to the couch and
enjoy my pumpkin pie while watching my
favorite sport.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico The
Minnesota Gophers didnt travel
2,400 miles to the Caribbean Sea
to bask in the sun, albeit a nice
perk.
And they didnt set out to earn
a national ranking. Their upset
over North Carolina on Friday
spurred some national buzz, but
the Gophers werent content.
They wanted the title.
They reached their goal with a
74-70 victory over West Virginia
on Sunday to win the Puerto Rico
Tip-Off, through an all-around
effort that flaunted their depth.
Both Blake Hoffarber, whose
clutch three-pointer with 92 sec-
onds to play broke a 70-70 tie,
and Trevor Mbakwe, who record-
ed his fifth double-digit scoring
effort in as many games with 16
points, made the all-tournament
team. Mbakwe was named the
eight-team tournaments Most
Outstanding Player.
Al Nolens defense (five steals)
and heart (34.3 minutes per
game) helped a Gophers team
that traveled to Puerto Rico with-
out versatile threat Devoe Joseph
outplay three teams with NCAA
tournament prospects.
Nolen guided the Gophers
(5-0) through tough times against
the Mountaineers (3-1) with a
performance that included 17
points, four assists, two steals and
a 92 percent clip from the charity
stripe (11-for-12).
Al Nolen really ran the team
as well as Ive seen him do it in
the four years hes been here,
Tubby Smith said. Hes had an
unbelievable tournament.
The Gophers starters deserve
credit for the way they carried
the team to a dazzling finish. But
reserves prevented an early West
Virginia lead from becoming an
impossible margin.
With the Gophers down 17-9
soon after they entered, a unit of
Colton Iverson and four fresh-
men _ Austin Hollins, Maverick
Ahanmisi, Mo Walker and Chip
Armelin _ launched an 8-3 run.
West Virginia junior forward
Kevin Jones said he thought the
youngsters would fall under the
pressure.
We kind of slacked off when
some of their starters went out,
Jones said. We just took it for
granted that we could do what-
ever we want.
But through five games, Smiths
bench has come through in diffi-
cult situations.
Ralph Sampson III, who
entered Sunday as the Gophers
leading scorer, finished with two
points in only 12 minutes because
of foul trouble. Backup center
Iverson responded with 15 points
and eight rebounds.
Armelin, a 6-4 guard, jumped
over everybody to secure a crucial
rebound after the Mountaineers
missed a shot with five seconds
to go. The freshman got fouled
and made one of two free throws,
enough for a four-point lead to
secure the victory.
The Gophers took a 50-42
advantage with nearly 13 minutes
to play, but they couldnt sustain
the edge.
West Virginia, which got a
game-high 27 points from Casey
Mitchell, responded with an 11-3
rally to even the score at 53-53.
Four lead changes and a pair of
ties followed until the Gophers
went up 61-60 on Iversons three-
point play. The Gophers had the
lead until Jones knocked down
a three-pointer with 2:58 to play,
tying the score at 68-68.
Mbakwe caught a Hoffarber
alley-oop on the other end to
put the Gophers back on top.
Mitchell, however, hit a pair of
free throws to tie it again.
But the Gophers continued to
attack. With less than 10 seconds
left on the shot clock, Hoffarber
hit his three-pointer in the cor-
ner, his 11th three in three games
this tournament. Armelin pro-
vided the assist.
A big key to the victory was
Minnesotas 26-for-35 clip from
the free-throw line. West Virginia
missed 11 of its 23 attempts.
We felt like it was a real battle
tonight, Smith said. I thought
our kids really showed a lot of
toughness, a lot of heart. And it
was a total team effort.

NFL
Green Bay Packers may be coach killers, too
MCCLatChy-tRIbUnE

GREEN BAY, Wis. Call the
Green Bay Packers one of the
best defensive teams in the NFL.
Call them survivors, a team still
relevant in November even with
11 players on injured reserve. Call
them a trendy pick again for the
Super Bowl.
Call them . . . coach killers?
First Wade Phillips, now Brad
Childress.
Three weeks ago, the Packers
wiped their feet on Dallas, 45-7.
Despite weekly assurances that
owner Jerry Jones wasnt the
kind of person to can a coaches
midseason, thats exactly what he
did. Less than 24 hours after the
Cowboys staggered off Lambeau
Field, coach Phillips was fired.
Then the Packers had a bye and
jobs were safe for a week.
On Sunday, Green Bay marched
to the unfriendly Metrodome in
Minneapolis and manhandled the
Minnesota Vikings, 31-3. Three
years removed from the Packers
but just 10 months after the NFC
Championship Game, quarter-
back Brett Favre looked mentally
spent. Yet his dejected look paled
in comparison to Childress ashen
face as the crowd chanted, Fire
Childress! before it deserted the
stadium.
Again, despite reports just a
week ago that Childress job was
safe, the Vikings (3-7) announced
Monday that Childress was fired.
It was a bizarre ending consid-
ering Childress had taken the
Vikings to the doorstep of the
Super Bowl and a year ago signed
a contract extension through
2013, with the final year a club
option.
I have a great respect for the
players and coaches who I have
worked with, Childress said in a
statement released by the Vikings.
I am proud of our accomplish-
ments and believe the foundation
of this football team is stronger
today than when I became head
coach in 2006.
Minnesota promoted defen-
sive coordinator Leslie Frazier to
interim coach, and he addressed
the quarterback situation after
Favre said he was going to take
time to re-evaluate.
Brett is a tremendous quar-
terback, and hes been a leader of
the team in the 1+ years that hes
been here, Frazier said. There
are some things we have to do to
support (Favre). Brett will be our
starting quarterback on Sunday.
It has been a disastrous season
from the start for the Vikings.
First Favre ducked out of off-
season work again. Running back
Adrian Peterson followed, skip-
ping out on the mandatory mini-
camp in June to attend Adrian
Peterson Day in Palestine,
Texas.
Then Childress went on a
rescue mission, sending three
key players to Favres home in
Mississippi to retrieve the quar-
terback from his annual retire-
ment thoughts. Then the Vikings
started losing, and Favre didnt
have the same magic of a year ago
and started turning the ball over.
For more than a month, Favre
has also been under investiga-
tion by the NFL over allegations
that he sent suggestive texts and
salacious photographs to a female
employee of the New York Jets.
To top it off, the relationship
between Favre and Childress had,
according to numerous reports,
gone cold. The coach ended up
criticizing Favre for turning the
ball over this year against the
Packers in Green Bay. Favre has
said the two only talk when nec-
essary.
Things got so bad that even
after the Vikings, behind a career
performance by Favre, rallied
to beat Arizona, players ripped
Childress anonymously in an arti-
cle in the Chicago Sun-Times.
The distractions contin-
ued. Peterson was pulled over
for speedingagainlast week.
Various Vikings could be seen
bickering during the Packers
game. The Vikings have become
such an embarrassment that when
they misspelled Kevin Williams
name on his jersey (hes a five-
time Pro Bowl veteran), they
became a national punch line.
Favre has played through
tumultuous times with his coach-
es since his astonishing career in
Green Bay came to an apocalyptic
end.
His coach in 2008, Eric
Mangini, was fired after Favre
and the New York Jets started the
season by dominating the AFC
East and then failed to make the
playoffs.
Childress, an assistant coach at
the University of Wisconsin from
1991-98, accepted the Minnesota
job in January 2006, reportedly
before he ever made a scheduled
visit to Green Bay, where he was
supposed to meet with general
manager Ted Thompson over the
Packers own coaching vacancy.
Thompson filled that role a week
later with Mike McCarthy.
Now McCarthy leads a 7-3
Packers team, and Childress is
looking for work.
You feel for his family,
McCarthy said of Childress dis-
missal. I have great respect for
every individual in the coaching
profession. I know the struggles,
the challenges and the rewards
that you go through as a head
coach in this league. You never
want to see that happen. Its really
tough on a family. Like I said, you
just dont ever want to see that
happen.
With Childress gone, it appears
the newest coach on the hot seat
is Mike Singletary. The Packers
play host to his struggling San
Francisco team Dec. 5.

obviously, the decisive factor

Home tournament brings team
high hopes and high expectations
BY KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
After a challenging victory on
the road against Wisconsin, the
Jayhawks will face another obsta-
cle when they host the Basketball
Travelers Inc. Tip-Off Classic this
weekend.
We had a few
easy wins and
then we got chal-
lenged on the
road and I think
that we came
through and that
shows that we
can be a really
good team if we
just keep fight-
ing, sophomore forward Carolyn
Davis said.
For the tournament Davis said
she wants to work on defense,
which is an area the team has been
focusing on all season.
We have to stay consistent with
our defense intensity, Davis said.
We kind of laid off at times and
that is when they would go on
runs. If we could have just stuck
with them we could have pulled
away in the game.
The last
time that
Kansas hosted
a tournament
was in 2005.
Davis is
happy to
return to Allen
Fieldhouse for
t our nament
play.
It is excit-
ing that we have three games in
three days and we need to go out
and get wins, Davis said. I am
happy it is a home tournament.
The rest of the team also has
high spirits going into the week-
end, considering the team has a
perfect 3-0 record in the regular
season.
Against Wisconsin, Davis
scored a game high 29 points and
led the Jayhawks in scoring for the
second straight time. Davis also
added nine rebounds and three
steals. With help from her team-
mates, the Jayhawks finished the
Sunday night game with a 93-86
victory over the Wisconsin.
Some players on the team attri-
bute the success to a good ability
to move the ball around the court
rapidly and getting touches in the
paint and on the perimeter.
The ball doesnt stick in any-
bodys hands, coach Bonnie
Henrickson said. They really
believe in a good shot means
nobody else on the floor has a
better shot and well let go of it
and share it. And that was not
only important today but that will
be important for us all year.
This ball rotation allowed
almost every Jayhawk to score dur-
ing Sundays game. Three athletes
scored in double figures includ-
ing junior Aishah Sutherlands
double-double with 16 points and
14 rebounds. Sutherland shot 6-8
from the field and sunk all four
free throw attempts.
We have to have other people in
double fgures and we did tonight,
so that was great, Davis said.
Kansas is set to face North Da-
kota State at 7 p.m. Friday, Mem-
phis at 6 p.m. Saturday and Ford-
ham at 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

With two matches left to play,
the Jayhawks host the Kansas
State Wildcats on Wednesday after
dropping a four-setter at Texas.
Senior outside hitter Karina
Garlington led the Jayhawk
offense. She scored 377 kills this
year and carried a 3.49 kill per
set average. But Kansas two other
starting outside hitters, junior
Allison Mayfield and senior Jenna
Kaiser have been on a roll recent-
ly. Kaiser averaged hitting effi-
ciencies of bet-
ter than .300 in
the past four
matches, while
Mayfield led
with 18 kills
on Friday on a
.341 efficiency.
K a n s a s
blocked well
lately, record-
ing 10 against
the Longhorns and 13 against
Baylor on Nov. 17. Redshirt fresh-
man Caroline Jarmoc alone con-
tributed six blocks, including two
solo rejections on Friday.
That hasnt translated to wins
for Kansas in the past two match-
es, partly because of inconsistency
in the offense. The Jayhawks have
struggled with attack errors in
recent games, particularly against
Baylor, where they ended the
match with 33 and a negative
attack percentage in the fourth
and final set.
Kansas (16-13, 7-11 Big 12) lost
3-1 to Kansas State (10-19, 4-14
Big 12) in their last meeting in
Manhattan.
The Wildcats are on a four-match
losing streak after going down 3-1
against the Oklahoma Sooners
(20-9, 12-6 Big 12) Saturday in
Norman. Kansas State freshman
Lilla Porubek led the offense
with a career high 13 kills and
three other Wildcats Kathleen
L u d w i g ,
J u l i A n n e
Chisholm and
Kaitlynn Pelger
contrib-
uted nine kills
each. Kansas
State took a
25-18 win from
O k l a h o m a
behind the
trios outstand-
ing performance in the second set,
but the Sooners offense outscored
them.
On defense, Wildcats Lauren
Mathewson and Caitlyn Donahue
each posted more than 20 digs
in the match and helped to hold
the Sooners top scorer, Suzy
Boulavsky, to 10 kills. Boulavsky
leads the Sooners with 384 kills
this season and a 3.49 kills per set
average. But other players picked
up the slack: Sooner Caitlin
Higgins led Oklahoma with 17
kills and made it a double-double
with 12 digs. Morgan Reynolds
added 15 kills with a .444 hitting
efficiency, and McLaurin contrib-
uted 11 more with a .500 average.
McLaurin and Higgins are the
Sooners number two and three
offensive players with 226 and 219
kills respectively.
The Wildcats lost the third and
fourth sets 25-16 and 25-19.
Over the season, Chisholm and
Pelger led the Wildcats in kills.
Mathewson is their top defender
with 492 digs this season and an
average of 4.78 per set.
The Jayhawks final home game
of the season will be Wednesdays
rematch with the Wildcats.
On Saturday, Kansas travels
to Norman, Okla., to face the
Sooners. Last time the two teams
played, Oklahoma swept Kansas
in Lawrence.
Oklahoma has announced
a time change for the match,
which will now start at 3 p.m.

MIAMI All the Miami Heat
banners, reminders of everything
from division titles to the 2006
NBA championship, were missing
from the rafers Monday night.
Fitting, because the Heat look
nothing like champions these days.
Danny Granger had 20 points
and 10 rebounds, Brandon Rush
added 20 points and the Indiana
Pacers added to Miamis week of
woe, beating the Heat 93-77 in the
worst shooting game of Dwyane
Wades career.
Wade fnished with three points
on 1-for-13 shooting. He had never
shot so poorly when taking at least
13 tries, and the point total was the
third-lowest of his career. He has
been held scoreless twice.
LeBron James scored 25 points
and Chris Bosh had 21 points and
11 rebounds for Miami, which
learned earlier Monday that top re-
serve Udonis Haslem will need sur-
gery to repair a torn foot ligament
and be out indefnitely.
T.J. Ford scored 13 points and
Mike Dunleavy added 11 for the
Pacers, who took control with a 29-
11 run in the second quarter.
Te Pacers (6-6) had been 0-4
when scoring less than 99 points.
Granger hit a pair of 3-pointers 36
seconds apart in the fnal 2 min-
utes to seal it, the last one giving In-
diana a 91-75 lead and sending just
about everyone who was lef in the
seats heading to the exits.
Hours afer learning Haslem
will have surgery Tuesday, the Heat
struggled just about every step of
the way.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Carlos
Arroyo each scored 12 for Miami.
Indianas reserves outscored
their counterparts 40-4. Te only
Miami reserve to score was Jamaal
Magloire, who entered with three
points all season.
Heres a perfect example of how
the night went for Miami: With 1:16
lef, James and Bosh both leaped
for a defensive rebound. Tey both
missed it, both fell over backwards,
and the ball went to Indiana.
Wade missed his last nine shots
of Fridays game against Charlotte,
when he was battling fulike symp-
toms. He didnt play Saturday in
Memphis, then made just one of his
13 shots against the Pacers.
So over that span, hes gone a baf-
fing 1 for 22 from the feld.
And when Wade got an attempt
to fnally fall, it didnt count.
Wade drove into the lane from
the right wing midway through the
third quarter, tossed up a shot of
the board and in only to have it
waved of by Solomon Jones draw-
ing a charge on the play. Wade at-
tacked Jones again on the next
Miami possession, got his layup
blocked, then got a technical foul
out of frustration.
Not even two minutes later, the
7-foot-3, 260-pound Ilgauskas was
called for a charge against 6-foot,
160-pound Darren Collison, who
had no problem standing tall
against a man who looks twice his
size.
It was that sort of night for the
Pacers.
Tey took the fght to Miami,
with one sequence in the third
quarter maybe summing it all up
best. Indiana held the ball for 54
straight seconds on one possession
an absolute eternity in a game
with a 24-second shot clock.
Magloire ended the possession
with a defensive rebound, James
made two free throws at the other
end, and the Heat were down 74-64
entering the fourth.

OXFORD, Ohio Kawhi
Leonard had another double-dou-
ble, and No. 18 San Diego State
turned up its defensive pressure
and used two crushing scoring
runs to pull away from Miami
(Ohio) 77-56 Monday night in the
CBE Classic.
The Aztecs improved to 5-0
for the first time in three years,
nationally ranked for the first time
in their history. All five wins have
come away from home, highlight-
ed by a 79-76 victory at then-No.
11 Gonzaga the Aztecs biggest
road win in their history.
Leonard, a sophomore forward,
leads the Aztecs in scoring and
rebounding. He had 12 points and
13 rebounds on Monday, his eighth
straight double-double. Point guard
D.J. Gay led with 19 points.
Miami (2-3) had 19 turnovers
and shot 37 percent from the field.
San Diego State put it away with
a 25-point run in the second half,
holding the RedHawks scoreless
for 12 minutes, 35 seconds.
Miami tied it at 39 early in the
second half, then missed 12 shots
and had a dozen turnovers dur-
ing San Diego States 25-0 spurt.
Nick Winbush led Miami with 12
points.
The Aztecs got off to slow starts
in the first two games of the tour-
nament on Miamis home floor,
and wanted to break the bad habit.
Instead, they found themselves
playing from behind right away.
Winbush made a fastbreak layup
against a full-court press, then hit a
pair of free throws that put Miami
up 17-6 with 13:39 left in the half.
San Diego State turned up the
pressure on a Miami offense run
by freshman point guard Quinten
Rollins, using a half-court trap to
rattle the RedHawks.
James Rahon hit a 3-pointer and
made a three-point play during a
16-0 run that put San Diego State
ahead 22-17. Miami was reduced
to passing the ball around the
perimeter and taking low-percent-
age shots with the clock running
down during the scoring drought.
One frustrated fan yelled: Get the
ball inside once!
The Aztecs werent finished.
They increased the run to 25-2,
holding Miami to only one bas-
ket during a 10-minute span. The
spurt ended with an embarrass-
ing Miami moment Orlando
Williams passed the ball inbound
before Rollins was ready. Gay
grabbed it and passed to Rahon for
an easy basket and a 31-19 lead.
The RedHawks went 1 for 9
from the field with six turnovers
during the 10-minute run.
The Aztecs missed their first
four shots to open the second half,
giving Miami a chance to pull
even. A 3-pointer by Winbush and
a driving layup by Antonio Ballard
made it 39-all.
Gay hit a free throw to break the
tie, then hit a floater in the lane
and a long 3-pointer that sparked
the decisive 25-point run.

Plumlee howled, perhaps
as much from relief as from
excitement.
For much of the game,
Marquette had chipped away
at a 14-point Blue Devil
lead, finally tying the score
in the ninth minute of the
second half. Plumlee, the
starting center whod been
quiet through top-ranked
Dukes first three games,
lifted the Blue Devils out
of their turnover-prone dol-
drums to an 82-77 win at
Sprint Center.
The win in the CBE
Classic semifinals lifted
Duke into Tuesday nights
tournament final, where the
Blue Devils will face the win-
ner of Mondays late game
between No. 4 Kansas State
and No. 22
Go n z a g a
on Tuesday
night.
Plumlee
s c o r e d
18 of his
c a r e e r -
high 25
points in
the sec-
ond half
and helped the Blue Devils
survive a stiff challenge
from Marquette (4-1). The
score was tied 57-57 when
Plumlee rebounded a Kyrie
Irving miss and passed back
out to the top of the key for
Nolan Smith, who rattled in
a 3-pointer.
Andre Dawkins stole
the ball near halfcourt and
sailed in for a reverse layup
and a five-point lead, send-
ing Marquette scrambling
for a timeout, trailing 62-57.
But Plumlee didnt let up.
Attacking the rim on post-
ups and offensive rebounds,
he scored 14 points in the
final 11 minutes to lift the
Blue Devils to a win in their
first serious challenge of
the season. Smith added 18
points and Kyle Singler 14
as the seniors took a back
seat in the first big game of
the season.
Plumlee, a sophomore
who moved into the start-
ing lineup after playing a
reserve role last season,
also grabbed 12 rebounds,
handed out four assists and
blocked five shots in by far
the most dominating perfor-
mance of his career.
At times Monday, it
appeared that Duke missed
2009-10 senior guard Jon
Scheyer and his ability to
protect the ball.
Guard Irving and Smith
can do things with the ball
and run the floor in ways
Scheyer never could. But
Scheyer averaged just 1.6
turnovers per game last sea-
son and rarely made a men-
tal mistake.
Irving and Smith were
erratic, particularly in the
final 10 minutes of the first
half. They combined for
six giveaways in the first
half, and that helped keep
Marquette close after Duke
led 23-9 nine minutes into
the game.
On one fast break, Smith
appeared to hit Irving in
stride for what should have
been an easy layup. Irving,
the highly regarded fresh-
man point guard, fumbled
the ball out of bounds.

Duke was ahead 40-31
at halftime, but committed
three more turnovers (two
by Miles Plumlee) in the
first five minutes of the sec-
ond half. Darius Johnson-
Odom, the junior guard
from Raleighs Wakefield
High, spun through the
lane for an acrobatic layup,
made a 3-pointer and set
up Jimmy Butler for a layup
that cut the Blue Devils lead
to 46-41.
Johnson-Odom tied the
game with 11:21 left at 53-53
for the first time since the
third minute when he made
a three-point play with a
16-footer and a free throw
on a foul by Dawkins.
Shortly afterward, Mason
Plumlee took control for
Duke, in a performance that
for the first time established
his ability to lead the team
on a big stage.

Terence Jones, guard
Jones has been a more consistent player this
season for the Islanders. He is averaging 12.5
points and 2.5 rebounds per game. He is 14-17
from the free-throw line. He had 18 points on
6-13 shooting, while going 5-11 from behind
the three-point line in 36 minutes against Okla-
homa St. on Nov. 17. Jones had 11 points against
Ohio on Nov. 21.

Garland Judkins, guard

Junkins is in his frst season with the Island-
ers after transferring from Arizona to be closer
to home. In his ofcial debut, Judkins scored a
team-high 16 points to lead the Islanders in their
only victory of the season, defeating Northeast-
ern State 81-74. He is averaging 7.5 points and 2
rebounds per game. Judkins had three points in
21 minutes against Ohio.

Justin Reynolds, forward

Reynolds is eighth on Texas A&M-CCs points list
with 935. Reynolds is also fourth in rebounds,
576; ffth in blocks, 66; ffth in minutes played,
2360; and ffth in double-doubles, 10. He is
averaging 6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game
in 26.3 minutes. Reynolds had 10 points and six
rebounds against Ohio.

Horace Bond, forward

Bond may share the name with Horace
Grant, who won three NBA titles with the
Chicago Bulls from 1991-1993, but Bond does
not provide the same spark as Grant. Bond is
averaging 6 points and 4 rebounds in 26 min-
utes. Bond played 24 minutes against Ohio and
scored fve points.
.

Demond Watt, forward

Watt has been the Islanders best player
this season. He is averaging 17 points and
10.8 rebounds in 32.8 minutes per game. Watt
scored a career and game-high 26 points and
a game-high 12 rebounds in the loss to Ohio.
Like Reynolds, Watt ranks high in multiple stat
categories. He is ninth in points, 874; third in
rebounds, 619; second in blocks, 103; sixth in
minutes played, 2317; and third in double-
doubles, 13.

Sixth Man
Jawan Nelson, center
Nelson is averaging 4.5 points and one
rebound per game in 13.8 minutes a game of
the bench. Nelson cut weight this ofseason
and is listed at 260 pounds. An interesting part
of Nelsons game is his ability to shoot from the
outside. He is 4-4 from the outside and is 7-15
overall from the feld on the season.

Mike Lavieri
Hoops junkies will remember
the Islanders for nearly pulling a
15-over-2 upset over the Alando
Tucker-led Wisconsin Badgers in
2007. They didnt, though, and
then-coach Ronnie Arrow bolted
for South Alabama. Texas A&M-
Corpus Christi hasnt returned to
the tournament since, and theyre
a middle-of-the-pack team in the
Southland Conference this year.
The Jayhawks will have to avoid
looking forward to the weekend
in Vegas, where theyll face MAC
favorite Ohio and a dangerous
Arizona team led by powerful
forward Derrick Williams. If they
stay focused on the present, the
Jayhawks will roll by 30-plus again.
Thomas Robinson
The Islanders have decent size,
but none of them will have the
combination of NBA-ready body
and freakish athleticism that Rob-
inson boasts. Most Big 12 posts
dont either, so that shouldnt be
much of a surprise. He should con-
tinue his astronomical rise from
last season, and it wouldnt be a
huge shock to see him averaging
double digit rebounds following
the game hes averaging nine
per game right now.
Will the guards start compet-
ing for playing time?
Somebodys minutes are go-
ing to get cut when Josh Selby
becomes eligible on Dec. 18th
against USC. Seniors Tyrel Reed,
Mario Little and Brady Morning-
star said its not an issue; that
theyre all more excited for Selby
to play then they are worried
about their minutes potentially
decreasing. Its a great problem for
coach Bill Self to have plenty of
options to fall back on if anyone
struggles or gets in foul trouble
but its hard to believe its not in
the back of the guards minds.
No, I havent really brought it
up. Nobody knows what it feels
like, you know what Im saying.
They dont want to know what it
feels like.

on the teamthat has lost in the feldhouse.

Tyshawn Taylor, guard
Throughout the course of the last two games,
Taylor has posted a stellar 11-to-2 assist ratio.
He had been playing smart and controlling the
tempo as the Jayhawks primary ballhandler,
and when he went down with early foul trouble
Friday, it was easy to see how much it afected
the ofense. Itd be good for Kansas if he found
his scoring touch again. After scoring 17 in the
opener, Taylor has only had 17 points in the two
games since.

Tyrel Reed, guard

The Jayhawks collectively found their three-
point stroke in Fridays win, hitting 60 percent
on 15 attempts from outside. Reed didnt join
the party, though, missing his only attempt from
three-point land. That miss dropped the senior
sharpshooter to a 28.6 percent mark from three,
by far a career worst. If he continues to struggle,
he may be starting on the bench soon possi-
bly starting Dec. 18 with Josh Selbys return.

Brady Morningstar, guard

Morningstar picked up his frst start of the
season Friday for no apparent reason. Like a lot
of Bill Selfs ideas, it worked out about as well
as possible. Morningstar played well above the
level hes been at all season, fnishing with seven
points, 10 assists, four steals and two rebounds.
Travis Releford has a higher ceiling here, but
sometimes its nice to have a steady veteran
hand.

Marcus Morris, forward

For the frst half Friday night, Marcus abilities
could be questioned. Then Marcus reminded us
all that hes the best player on the team, scoring
10 points in the frst fve minutes after the break
and carrying the Jayhawks on a devastating
31-8 run to open the second half. He needs to
be stronger on the defensive glass for the
second time this season he fnished with zero
defensive rebounds but thats nitpicky for a
guy whos been All-American good so far.

Markief Morris, forward

While his brother has been slacking on
the glass, Markief has been dominating the
rebounding stats. He leads the Jayhawks with
12 boards per game and is second on the team
with 13 points per game. If he continues to play
at this high pace, hell begin to steal away some
of his brothers spotlight (and some of the load
on his shoulders).

Sixth Man
Elijah Johnson, guard
Johnson was solid Friday night in his frst
game back from a season-opening suspension.
Hell primarily serve as the backup to Tyshawn
Taylor at the point, and Taylors foul trouble
thrust Johnson into a larger role against the
Mean Green. He responded with 11 points and
zero turnovers, but dished out only one assist.

ALLEN FIELDHoUSE WILL RoCK IF
The Jayhawks get No. 63. And the Jayhawks will get No. 63 if the
Fieldhouse rocks. The team is always quick to give credit to the fans,
and for good reason Allen Fieldhouse is recognized as one of the
best home-court advantages in the country. The Jayhawks probably
wont need a wild arena to drop the Islanders but it never hurts.
BIG JAY WILL NEED To GIVE BABY JAY A SHoULDER
To CRY oN IF
Kansas looks forward to the weekend too much. Itd be easy to do,
because theres plenty to look forward to. Theres a game against the
MAC favorite Ohio, which stunned Georgetown in the frst round of
the NCAA Tournament last year. And theres the frst game against
high-major competition against Arizona Saturday.
Prediction:
Kansas 96, Texas A&M C-C 61
BiG 12 SChedule SChedule
Texas A&M- Corpus Christi start-
ed play in the iBN Las Vegas Invita-
tional on Nov. 21. The Islanders lost
to Ohio, Kansas frst opponent in
Las Vegas, 83-70. This season is the
12th for Texas A&M-CC. The pro-
gram was an independent for the
frst seven seasons and it managed
to have six winning seasons. The
Islanders are three years removed
from their only NCAA Tournament
appearance in 2007, when they
lost to Wisconsin 76-63 in the frst
round. Texas A&M-CC is taller than
Kansas previous opponents, with
four players taller than 6-foot-8.
The Islanders will provide a chal-
lenge to the Jayhawks with their
length on the interior.
Desmond Watt
Watt leads the team in scoring
and rebounding. He is 23-38 from
the feld (.605) without attempting
a three-point shot. He is a low-
post player that will be difcult
to guard. Kansass defenders will
want to get Watt as far away from
the basket as possible to make it
uncomfortable for him. Once he
has the ball in the post, he can
make a strong move to the basket
or if he is double-teamed, he will
be able to fnd his open team-
mates, who are shooting over
45 percent from the feld on the
season. He has a young, inexperi-
enced backcourt getting him the
ball, but it does not seem to be a
problem so far this season.
Can the Islanders win their
frst game against the Big 12 this
season?
Texas A&M-CC is 0-2 against
the Big 12 this season, and 3-17
overall, with losses to Texas A&M,
86-65, and Oklahoma St., 68-58.
Staying with Oklahoma St. on Nov.
17 is impressive for the Island-
ers; however, Kansas is a more
dynamic team than Oklahoma St.
The Jayhawks are a much deeper
and more athletic team and should
easily run away with this game. The
Islanders are averaging 68.5 points
per game while Kansas is averag-
ing 95 points per game. The fve
leading scorers for Texas A&M-CC
are from its starting lineup. The
Jayhawks are only giving up 59.7
points per game. Texas A&M-CC
will not defeat Kansas tonight.
Theyre athletic, similar to
North Texas. They played Oklaho-
ma State pretty tough. They have
a good scorer on the interior and a
really good scorer on the perim-
eter. Theyre a solid team.
