KIDS IN THE KITCHEN

Interactive cooking class for children introduces healthy eating
Next, she began to lead the class in making a healthy version of chili that used turkey meat and lots of veggies. At first, the children hesitated when she asked for volunteers and quietly stood a safe distance away ment tool for one student, Austin, to measure chili powder into, she said, Dont be shy. You can make a little bit of a mess. He shook the container harder, and extra chili powder poured over the counter. Or a lot of a mess, Charles laughed. As the smell of warm, comforting chili filled the kitchen, the students smiled and they crowded around the pot on the stove, observing their creation. Temples nutrition lesson included an explanation of My Plate, which covers the main food groups. She explained examples of foods in each category and how the kids could reach each group of food throughout the day. Temple and Charles explained that through the classes, they hope to make kids more familiar with the idea of eating a healthy, balanced diet, more comfortable cooking in the kitchen at home and more open to new foods. They added that the contact with cooking in a fun way may make the nutrition lessons resonate more. You can send home a pamphlet in their backpack that says, Eat this, its healthy, but if theyre

FUN FOOD

KATIE MCBRIDE

kmcbride@kansan.com Of all the reasons to eat healthy, 11-year-old Gentry Dennisons logic is hard to dispute. If you just eat ice cream and cookies all the time, you wont get taller, Gentry said. He was one of ten children, ranging from ages 6 to 13, and seven parents from the Lawrence area who attended the first cooking class organized by Hannah Temple and Leah Charles, 2013 graduates of the University and Americorps members. Temple and Charles are offering a series of cooking classes to families interested in expanding their knowledge on healthy eating. The program is a five-class course that will take place until July 2014. During the first class on Tuesday night, Charles took half of the group to the kitchen, while Temple gave the other half a lesson on nutrition. Halfway through, the groups switched. In the kitchen, before any of the food preparation began, Charles discussed the importance of taking precautions, both for safety and for cleanliness, while working in the kitchen.

...if theyre interacting with the food and cooking it themselves, theyre going to eat it.

from the kitchen counters. But as they began to add the ingredients to the pot one by one, their excitement grew and they began to shoot their arms in the air when a volunteer was needed, shouting eagerly, Let me do it! In between adding ingredients, Charles explained how to measure ingredients and use various cooking utensils. The children carefully opened cans, mixed ingredients and leveled off measurements of spices. They politely offered each other turns at adding ingredients. As Charles held out a measure-

interacting with the food and cooking it themselves, theyre going to eat it, Temple said. Temple and Charles also stressed that eating healthy is possible on a budget and one benefit of having the parents attend the class is for them to see that nutritious and filling meals can be done inexpensively. They added that it was important to them to motivate families to connect and bond at home over cooking and eating. Its good to have the families come in and interact together, Charles said. Gentry said he likes to cook grilled cheese sandwiches and cakes with his mom. Tuesdays lesson and the ones to follow will introduce him to many more meals he can create at home. The course will take place at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Temple and Charles are currently seeking volunteers to assist with the classes. Those interested in learning more, signing up kids or helping volunteer should contact Hannah Temple at htemps@gmail. com. Edited by Kayla Overbey

New changes to camping improves lottery process

bhillix@kansan.com In years past, basketball camping groups have waited hours in advance just to draw numbers earlier than other groups at lottery. Because the fieldhouse doors dont open until 30 minutes beforehand, students were forced to wait in line outside often in freezing temperatures. This year, basketball camping coordinators Joci Hansen and Mason Jones are introducing a method to alleviate that problem. They will debut an online check-in system for lottery that eliminates the need to arrive early and wait outside. The biggest goal of doing the online system is so that we dont have people waiting outside at four or five in the morning, Hansen said. Were in Kansas its cold. One representative from each camping group will check in using Google Forms. To check in, the group representative will go to the website and click Lottery Registration. It will go live exactly one hour before lottery. Shortly after checking in, the representative will receive an email to confirm the number that group will draw. The group will receive the number upon arrival. Hansen emphasized that groups that draw sooner will not have a greater chance of selecting a low number. Each number, once drawn, will be placed back into the bag so every group has an equal chance at drawing a low number. Students may check in from any computer. If more than one member from a camping group checks in, it will be flagged and wont count. Laptops will be present at lottery for use if needed. Not every group that checks in immediately will be among the first groups to draw, but another new change this year will speed along the process. Camping groups will sit at designated places in the Fieldhouse so they are able to draw and leave efficiently. If your group is one of the first to draw, you will be seated near the front to guarantee a quick exit. A majority of lotteries will occur inside the Fieldhouse, but a select few may be in the parking garage. If this occurs, signs will indicate where groups should line up. Well get you in and out as fast as we can, Hansen said. In addition to lottery check-in, the website will also indicate camping suspensions and post the camping group order after each lottery. General guidelines are also listed on the website. Website: cardinalfan021.wix.com/ kubballcamping Twitter: @KU_bballcamping Facebook: KU Basketball Camping Edited by Kayla Overbey

Twitter employee No. 19 to speak on campus today

CALEB SISK
csisk@kansan.com Students will have the opportunity to speak with a major force in the business world today, as Christian Fisher, former Twitter employee, is guest lecturing at the University. Fisher is most known for being employee No. 19 at Twitter. Fisher has since moved on and worked with companies like Yelp and AdKnowledge and even landed himself on the Forbes 30 under 30 list, a compilation of the most prominent young innovators and entrepreneurs in the business world today. Fisher will speak to how he gained so much success in his career so early on while discussing his most recent venture as a CEO. Fisher recently started Briefcase, a company that plans to revolutionize the job application process. Emma Tolle, vice president of membership for the KU Entrepreneurship Club, praised Fishers experience and discussed how invaluable the opportunity to speak with him is. Christian has been involved in so many projects that have revolutionized our daily lives, Tolle said. It is extremely important for any students with interest in IT or startup work to attend and learn as much as possible from him. This lecture will help to kick-off a month filled with exciting events for the KU Entrepreneurship Club. A Start-up Crawl and an entrepreneurial contest are on the agenda later this month. We hope to boost attendance and involvement from underclassmen with these events and Christian is a large part of those efforts, Tolle said, He is a brilliant individual and would be a great role model for any underclassmen that are unsure of what it is they want to do. The KU Entrepreneurship Club will be hosting Fishers lecture today in Summerfield Hall, room 502, at 5:30 p.m. Students interested in learning more about the club and its activities should visit kueclub.com or email Emma at entrepreneurshipclub.ku@gmail.com.

Mark Reuss, president of General Motors North America, is giving a lecture about product development in the engineering eld today at the University. This is an opportunity for University students to gain insight into how some of the largest product campaigns get their start and to speak to a high-level executive on a personal level. We are really proud to have Mark Reuss speak with students. The experience that he brings to this presentation will help students understand what they can achieve and how they should approach their future careers, said Jill Hummels, public relations director at the KU School of Engineering. Though this lecture is being held in the school of engineering, it is open to all majors and attendance is encouraged regardless of eld of study. Students from different disciplines will gain valuable insight from this; it goes far beyond just engineering personnel, Hummels said. Reuss presentation will mostly concern leadership and career advice. This makes the lecture applicable to students of every major, as the skills needed to develop products and succeed in the business world are universal. Its not just engineers that can benet from learning about product development. There are any number of elds involved in the process of developing a product, Hummels said. Hummels hopes that a wide variety of students will attend this lecture and benet from the professional knowledge and experience that Reuss will share. Reuss presentation is today at 3:30 in Engineering Classroom 2, Eaton Hall. Caleb Sisk

STATE

Kobach, attorney dispute voter laws

ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA Secretary of State Kris Kobach and an attorney challenging a Kansas law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls are locked in a dispute over which court should hear the lawsuit. Kobach said Tuesday that he sought to have the case moved from state court to federal court because Wichita attorney Jim Lawing has raised federal election law issues on behalf of two retired northeast Kansas residents. In a court filing, Kobach's lawyer noted that the lawsuit cites a U.S. Supreme Court decision in an Arizona case this year. "Most voting cases do end up in federal court," said Kobach, a conservative Republican who pushed for passage of the photo ID law in 2011. Kobach moved last week to have the case removed from Shawnee County District Court to federal court and it has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil, though no hearings have been set. Lawing, who ran for Congress as a Democrat in 1998, declined to comment Tuesday about the lawsuit being moved to federal court, but a few hours later he filed a request to have the case returned to state court. In an accompanying memo, Lawing said he cited the U.S. Supreme Court decision only because it notes a longstanding legal principle in Kansas and other states that voters are presumed to be U.S. citizens. The memo said Kobach wasn't entitled to "misconstrue" the contents of the lawsuit to "escape the forum closest to Kansas law." Kobach and other supporters of the voter ID law contend that it will block election fraud. Critics have denounced the requirement as an attempt to suppress voter turnout among poor, minority and elderly voters. Lawing represents Arthur Spry and Charles Hamner of Overbrook. Their votes in the November 2012 general election weren't counted because neither had a government-issued ID card with a photograph. Hamner and Spry live in a retirement home and neither has a driver's license or a computer. According to the lawsuit, neither has access to the birth records necessary to secure a photo ID. Lawing filed the litigation in June, then amended it in October, adding the reference to the U.S. Supreme Court decision. State law requires voters to have a photo ID when voting in person and a driver's license number when voting by mail. Kansas also requires proof of citizenship for those registering to vote for the first time. Without proof of identity and money to pay for such a document, a person can apply for a free State Voter Identification Document. A person born in Kansas must apply to the Kansas Office of Vital Statistics for a certified copy of a birth certificate and obtain from the agency a "no certificate letter." Kobach's office then must be given a copy of this letter.

Man on the street

KYLE PAPPAS
kpappas@kansan.com A recent study discovered that Wichita could possibly be leaving up to $49 million per year on the table in coming years if it doesn't drastically improve its worn facilities in the downtown area. The study, conducted by Minneapolis-based Convention Sports & Leisure, showed that Wichita has the potential to attract national conventions that would provide a

signicant positive economic impact, but is currently unable to do so with its dated structures. There have been numerous proposed solutions to the issue, one of which includes the demolition of Wichita's iconic Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center. We took to the streets to nd out what Wichita-area students think of the possible destruction of this historic landmark. Edited by Chas Strobel

Chris Christie re-elected governor of New Jersey

ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASBURY PARK, N.J. Gov. Chris Christie was re-elected with ease Tuesday, demonstrating the kind of broad, bipartisan appeal that will serve as his opening argument should he seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. With 94 percent of precincts reporting, Christie had 60 percent of the vote to Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono's 39 percent, putting him en route to become the first Republican in a quarter-century to receive more than 50 percent of the New Jersey vote. This, in a state that President Barack Obama carried a year ago by more than 17 points his biggest margin in the nation. "Thank you, New Jersey, for making me the luckiest guy in the world," Christie said in a victory speech late Tuesday in the shore town of Asbury Park. After a campaign that centered more on his record and personality than his agenda for a second term, he told supporters that he has big plans for education reform and tax cuts, among other issues. "I did not seek a second term to do small things," he said. "I sought a second term to finish the job. Now watch me do it." Buono told supporters in her hometown of Metuchen on the fringes of the New York area shortly after polls closed that she had called Christie to congratulate him. She noted they had their differences but added, "when it comes down to it, we're just two parents who want to see the best for our children's future." Christie performed strongly across the political spectrum after aggressively courting constituencies that often shun the GOP: minorities, women and even Democrats, who outnumber Republicans among registered voters by more than 3 to 2. Interviews with voters as they left polling places found Christie re-elected with broad support among whites, independents, moderates, voters over 40 and those opposing the health care law, among others. He did well among groups that typically lean Democratic, carrying a majority of women and splitting Hispanics with Buono. Christie improved on his share of the vote in 2009 among blacks, liberals, Democrats and voters younger than 30 by more than 10 percentage points. Christie, who is openly considering running for president, has said his success offers a template for broadening the GOP's appeal after the disastrous 2012 election cycle and the party's record-low approval ratings following the recent government shutdown. Voters in New Jersey as a whole were not wildly enthusiastic about Christie as president. Fifty-one percent said he would make a good president. When asked whether they preferred Christie or Hillary Rodham Clinton as president if they both ran in 2016, they supported the Democrat 48 percent to 44 percent.

"In the long run, it would be more benecial if the demolition resulted in the increased income. But, at the same time, it'd still be devastating to the people of Wichita." - Shelby Bettles, freshman, Wichita

"It's sad because a lot of performances, concerts and graduations have happened there. But if it brings in a lot of new revenue, then why not?" - Tessa Aldag, junior, Wichita

"The Century II building is a Wichita landmark and I think tearing it down would affect the image that downtown Wichita has worked for. If we need a convention center, I think a new facility should be built, hopefully on the river, or Century II could just be renovated." - Jenny Rider, junior, Wichita

A Lawrence man was arrested on charges of rstdegree murder Tuesday. Police ofcers responded to a report of a shooting on the 1600 block of West 2nd Terrace where they found and detained the suspect.

Educate yourself on strict voter registration laws

hen I registered to vote at 10 p.m. on the night of my 18th birthday, Burmese democracy advocate Aung San Suu Kyi had just been released from her seven-year-long house arrest. Id heard the news on the radio, and I listened to one of her speeches while I logged on to voteks.org. Typing in my name, date of birth, address and drivers license number, I finished the registration process before my YouTube video of one of Suu Kyis speeches ended. If a new voter tried to register today, that process would be slightly different although the prospective applicant might not even recognize that the change existed. New voter registration laws require that would-be voters provide proof of citizenship before their registration is made official. This proof can take the form of a birth certificate, passport, naturalization documents or other official papers. The process must be completed before Election Day. The problem is that a large number of voters may not realize that the changes have taken place. Registering at a voter registration drive, like the one sponsored by the Student Legislative Advisory Board and Dole Institute of Politics at the University during Civic Engagement Week, is only the first step in the registration process. Individuals must then contact their election office to prove their citizenship. Since the rules went into effect in January, over 18,100 Kansans have attempted to register to vote, but have failed to complete the proof-of-citizenship step. That accounts for a full one-third of individuals who have attempted to register during that time period. These hopeful voters may be waiting until later, or they may not even be aware the requirement exists. The future of those registrations remains uncertain. Currently, Kansas and Arizona are attempting to use legal mechanisms to force the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to add special instructions about proof of citizenship regulations to the federal registration form. The two states claim that absent such a change, they would need to operate two separate registration lists, as individuals who used the

federal form and did not prove their citizenship would be allowed to vote in only national elections. Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union has warned the two states that it plans to pursue legal action, after a Supreme Court case in June ruled against Arizonas rejection of federally registered voters who had not proven their citizenship. Its possible that non-citizen voting in Kansas is actually the largest problem in the state, one that justifies spending money on legal battles and registration paperwork at a time when the state is cutting funds for education, health care and social services. Its possible that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach could produce evidence that voter fraud is a

significant problem in the state, and chooses not to so that the rest of us can sleep more easily at night. Its possible that he truly believes the answer he gave when Rep. Jim Ward of Wichita asked Kobach how to feasibly collect the required documents during a voter registration drive (carry a copy machine with you) is the best model for preserving the Kansan democratic tradition. Its possible, but I dont think its particularly likely. The best way to avoid problems that could hamper your voting is to make sure that you are registered far in advance of an election. Kansans can visit gotvoterid.com to check their registration status and learn how and where they can provide the necessary documents. After they have proven their citizenship once, they do not have to do so if they re-register in the future to update residence or party affiliation (remember, voters must re-register each time they change address). When Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest in 1995, she reminded her followers of the importance of tolerating differing

political viewpoints, saying We will surely get to our destination if we join hands. Young Kansans now have the opportunity to join hands to help their friends and family members exercise their constitutional right to participate in elections. Mentioning the citizenship requirements to friends registering for the first time can spread knowledge that the requirement exists in the first place. Taking ten minutes together to stop by the Douglas County Courthouse on Massachusetts Street is easy; scanning and emailing your documents to the information posted on gotvoterid. com is too. Hopefully, Kansans can work together to ensure that every voter has the opportunity to exercise their right to vote on Election Day, regardless of how inconvenient that new extra step might be.

YouTube Music Awards detract Break out of traditional from live concert experience roles in relationships
What does The Harlem Shake, Gangnam Style and The Fox (What Does The Fox Say) have in common? My immediate response would be that they are all crimes against humanity. However, other than being agonizingly annoying, these songs among others have been deemed as YouTube sensations. I guarantee that you have seen or heard at least one, if not all, of these videos. While I admittedly watched countless Harlem Shake videos on my own time, I accidentally saw a clip of Gangnam Style on the news last year and was unknowingly shown the ear-numbing The Fox (What Does The Fox Say) by a friend. Regardless of whether Id seen the viral videos or not, I certainly had heard of them all within a week of their upload. To praise these videos with further acclaim, the very first YouTube Music Awards ceremony however unceremonious it may have been took place this past Sunday. Having been inundated with articles from every major publication that covered the event in the past 24 hours, I couldnt help but wonder, when did YouTube become such a prominent force in the music industry? YouTube was founded in 2005, and though memory often fails me, I am fairly certain that the first time I watched a video on the platform wasnt until 2008. I remember this because the video

lhavens@kansan.com

I watched was of a young Justin Bieber singing Chris Browns With You in a basement. At the time, the video had well under one thousand views. I decided to recently revisit the video and as of today, it has well over 45 million views. Personally, I think that it is safe to say Justin Bieber was one of, if not the first, official YouTube music phenomena. I will not refute the fact that bringing awareness to (what was once) great talent is a good thing. My issue with YouTubes involvement in the music industry is that it inadvertently contradicts movements such as Record Store Day and the Affordable Ticket Act, which aim to get music fans in front of a crate of vinyl or a stage, as opposed to a computer screen. Over one billion users visit YouTube each month, and according to YouTubes statistics page, over six billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube thats almost an hour for every person on Earth. Thinking about the hours that I alone have clocked into YouTubes statistics, I realize that the

video platform impacts the music industry both positively and negatively. YouTube has become a reliable and authentic outlet to market emerging musical talent, yet along the way YouTube has also provided an inauthentic outlet for music fans to support musicians with views rather than purchases. Its great, of course, that music festivals and events such as the YouTube Music Awards offer live streaming because they invite anyone and everyone into the experience. While this provides an affordable, comfortable and reasonable alternative for many, it can never amount to a sufficient substitute. The YouTube Music awards attempted to maintain a level of live entertainment by streaming an unrehearsed, organic awards show, and if I were there, Im sure I would have enjoyed and fed into the spontaneity of it all. But since I was watching it all play out in my bed with the heat from my laptop radiating onto my legs, I soon lost interest and simply exited out. It is far more rewarding for an artist to look into a crowd of fans singing along with the lyrics, than it is to stare into a screen and count the number of fans that view a video. No story, photo or live stream can compare to the value of physical presence. Lyndsey Havens is a sophomore majoring in journalism from Chicago.

FFA OF THE DAY

Too emotionally invested in the mens basketball team to feel bad about being forever single.

fter asking me whether or not I was seeing anyone, a friends mother once comforted me by saying, Guys in college arent looking for anything serious. They just want to run around and have fun they arent ready to commit to girls they actually want to end up with. Youre the girl theyll want to take home to their moms theyll come around in a few years and then youll have men lining up to take you out. Im not exactly sure what prompted this revelation from my friends mother, nor am I clear on exactly why I should find this comforting, but its a comment that I have thought a lot about since then. There are a lot of things I see wrong with this philosophy, but beyond the presumption again that being in a relationship is something to strive for, the thing that bothers me most about this statement is the gender stereotyping. I recently re-watched Disneys The Little Mermaid for my thesis project (because deep down, Im still five years old) and the most striking thing about the film was Ursulas drag show during Poor Unfortunate Souls. In it, she reveals pretty blatantly that gender is very much a performance. Thinking back to this mothers bit of consolation for me, I realized that it isnt that all guys have this no-responsibilities, party-while-were-young attitude, but rather that its what we expect from guys at this age. In fact, thinking about a lot of expectations of both genders, I realized that a lot of the assumptions and attitudes we take on because of our genders are performances. Women tend do more stereotypical girly things like wearing make-up, dressing nicely and looking for serious relationships because thats what we associate with being female. Whereas men tend to be more interested in sports, working out and maintaining casual

relationships because thats what society tells us men should be like. Now obviously these generalizations are not necessarily accurate in the depiction of each man and woman I myself love basketball just as much as every other Kansas diehard, and I know lots of guys who are in serious, committed relationships but the point is that our genders and the way we perform them is very much an aspect of nurture, not nature. It is perfectly acceptable to be a girly-girl or a mans man, but its also important to recognize these depictions as choices and performances, and not inherent divisions between the sexes. Thus, I reiterate the inherent problem with my friends mothers quote. Generalizing that all men in college dont want to date mom-worthy girls assumes 1) that there are certain aspects of performing the female gender that make some women more dateable/marriage-worthy than others, 2) these aspects are somehow tied into the idea of being a good girl, and 3) men in college are wild and immature, and only age and time will tame them. To that, I say: Be who you want to be. If you identify as a woman, but you feel like more of the man in your relationships, more power to you! If youre a guy, but you are sensitive to others emotions or you cry easily, that doesnt make you less of a man. Anyone who doesnt recognize their choices about their gender as a performance are simply poor, unfortunate souls. Tasha Cerny is a senior majoring in English from Salina.

Students balance time between school, dance

CASSIDY RITTER
critter@kansan.com For many students, the time commitment for school alone is a lot to manage and having a job adds to the stress. But imagine finding time for 15 hours of dance practice a week, in addition to 16 hours of classes. This is LaRissa McKeans weekly challenge. McKean, a junior from Omaha, Neb., is a level one dancer for Point B Dance in Lawrence and has been with the company for five shows. Being a level one dancer means a larger time commitment. McKean is in the dance studio once or twice a day, Monday through Thursday, along with weekend rehearsals every so often. With an upcoming dance recital, McKeans time is spread even thinner. Her days start around 5:30 or 6 a.m. and end around 1 or 2 a.m. In between her classes at the University, she is at home studying or at the dance studio rehearsing. In order to keep it all straight, McKean relies on her planner, which is packed with times for each event. When all else fails, she calls her mom to walk her through it. Its always figuring out where my priorities are, McKean said. And my priorities change a lot because everything I do is important to me. Aside from working out to de-stress, McKean relies on her company members at Point B Dance. The support system I got from them was something I hadnt experienced, McKean said, and having it in college really helps escape from stress. And I like to be super involved, I always have been so when I didnt have dance it was awful, but having so much dance calms me down. Emily Jones, junior from Lindsborg, is a first-year dance member at Point B Dance and also deals with the time balance of school and dance. Its a nice way to relieve stress, Jones said. You know, you can kind of show what you are feeling when you are dancing. Its something different than what I normally do and its kind of an escape. Both Jones and McKean are busier than ever with their upcoming recital on Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. The recital will be held at the Lawrence Arts Center at 940 New Hampshire St. Tickets are on sale now for $10. Cathy Patterson, owner and director of Point B Dance in association with AIM Dance Company, said members have been rehearsing for this performance since August and have spent 12-15 hours a week in the studio. Patterson said the theme for the Nov. 9 recital is phobias and fears. Emotions can be portrayed through dance by the dynamics of movement, Patterson said. Movement has qualities such as fast/slow, strong/light, direct/ indirect, and these qualities are manipulated in the choreographic process to represent an emotion. In our show, fear is explored through dynamic movement qualities the creative use of props representing the source of the phobia, and the dancers personal experiences and expressions.

REBOUNDS

Wiggins still heating up for the season

BRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com Fans awaiting Andrew Wiggins breakthrough game will have to wait. Wiggins finished with 10 points Tuesday on a team-high of ten field goal attempts. After struggling for a majority of the half, Wiggins picked it up late and scored six points in a three-minute span. He didnt have any success early, Self said. He did better when he got back in. Wiggins scored his first points of the evening on a dunk with just more than three minutes remaining in the first half. He would add a jumper in the lane and a pair of free throws late in the half to finish with six points. His daily showboat moment came with about eight minutes left in the second half. Mason threw up a pass to the basket when Wiggins appeared to be one step in front of the 3-point line near the baseline. Wiggins defensive highlight came when he knocked a Fort Hays State field goal attempt off the backboard that led immediately to a fast break capped off by a Perry Ellis dunk. Being taller than all but two players on the Tiger roster, Fort Hays State set waves of defenders on the freshman. That proved to be successful for the most part, as Wiggins only went to the free throw line twice. This can be attributed to his unselfish play. In the second half, Wiggins had what appeared to be an open lane to the basket, but ended up passing to an open player at the 3-point line. Ellis agreed that selflessness is a trait of this years squad. With all these athletic guys we got on this team, we also look to pass and just not look to shoot first, Ellis said. While many expect Wiggins to dominate on offense this season, he has shown some versatility at both ends of the court in his limited action. In the two exhibition games, Wiggins exhibited his all-around skill. Wiggins averaged 13 points, 4.5 rebounds, two blocks and a steal in the first two games. While it isnt his strength, Wiggins has struggled with his jump shot in the first two games. He has yet to connect from long-range this season, going a combined 0-5. Most of his points have come near the rim, where he scores more effortlessly. Look for Wiggins to play more than 30 minutes in the teams first regular season game on Friday against Louisiana Monroe. It should be easier for him to get into a flow with more playing time. Edited by Chas Strobel Andrew Wiggins, freshman guard, drives past Fort Hays State defenders to score for Kansas.

Traylor scored 11 points on a perfect 4-for-4 from the oor. He led the team with four offensive rebounds, two of which he put back in for layups. Unlike his frontcourt counterparts, he did not commit a turnover. He gave the team a much needed spark in the rst half with seven points and ve rebounds.

UNSUNG HERO
Wayne Selden, Jr., guard
After a relatively quiet rst game, Selden got to the bucket with ease all night. He tied for the team-high with 13 points on 5-for-8 shooting. While we went 3-6 from the free throw line, lets instead focus on the fact that he got to the charity stripe six times in limited action.

NOTES
With the win over Fort Hays State, Kansas is now undefeated in 40 exhibition games dating back to 1994. Fort Hays State went more than four minutes at the start of the second half without scoring a single point. The Jayhawks have now scored 90 or more points against the Tigers in eight games.

Kansas takes on West Virginia in Big 12 Championship

STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com The Kansas soccer team (7-10-2, 2-5-1) will be close to home for the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City, Mo., tonight. As the No. 8 seed in the tournament, the Jayhawks will face top-seeded West Virginia (13-3-2, 7-1) at Swope Soccer Village. West Virginia is the regular season champion of the league and had a perfect conference record until its loss to Texas Tech on Oct. 27. Kansas earned the last spot in the tournament with its 2-1 victory against Oklahoma Friday. After the match, coach Mark Francis said the team would have momentum on its side following the hardfought victory and the threat of exclusion from the tournament. I told the girls, weve played everybody in the conference and weve seen what everybody has, and I think every game weve played in the conference, weve been in the game, Francis said. Weve had opportunities to win the game. He said that in this tournament, his team can definitely advance further. The tournament is one-and-done and we have every opportunity to go in there and do well, Francis said. Junior midfielder Jamie Fletcher led the team to victory against Oklahoma with her two welltimed goals. She scored the first goal of the game and another goal that put the match away for good in the last three minutes. Fletcher earned conference honors for her performance. On Tuesday, she was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. Before the match against Oklahoma, Fletcher had tallied the most shot attempts on the team, but had only scored one goal. On Friday, Fletcher said she was optimistic about the tournament. I think we actually have a really good chance to win the Big 12 tournament, so all we had to do was get there and see what happens, Fletcher said. In the regular season matchup against West Virginia, the Mountaineers defeated Kansas 2-0 in the midst of one of the Jayhawks extended scoring droughts. West Virginia scored early, with both goals coming in the first 15 minutes of the match. The Jayhawks kept fighting, but could not recover.

The tournament is oneand-done and we have every opportunity to go in there and do well.
MARK FRANCIS Coach

In their first two seasons in the conference, the West Virginia Mountaineers have made a splash in the Big 12. They also won the regular season title and were seeded first in the tournament last year. They did not fare well in post-season play last year. They faced eighth-seeded TCU last year and were blanked by the Horned Frogs 0-2. TCU went on to compete in the title game where it fell to Baylor. Kansas also lost its first-round game last year, falling 0-2 to Texas Tech. If the Jayhawks get past the Mountaineers, they will advance to the semifinals, which will be against the winner of todays Baylor and Iowa State matchup. The semifinals will take place on Friday and the title game will be played on Sunday. Edited by Emma McElhaney

INTERNATIONAL

Olympic torch will launch into space with Russian rocket

ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan For the first time in history, the Olympic torch will be taken on a spacewalk. The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics torch will be sent to the International Space Station on board a Russian spacecraft this week and astronauts will then carry it outside the station. Here's a look at the Sochi torch. THE SPACE CHARIOT The torch will travel into Earth's orbit with the next space station crew, who blast off early Thursday from the Russian-operated Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Russia's Mikhail Tyurin, NASA's Rick Mastracchio and Koichi Wakata of Japan are heading to the space station on a Russian Soyuz rocket that has been emblazoned with the emblem of the Sochi Winter Games. FLAMES IN SPACE For safety reasons, the torch will not burn when it's onboard the space outpost. Lighting it would consume precious oxygen and pose a threat to the crew. The crew will carry the unlit torch around the station's numerous modules before taking it out on a spacewalk. A TORCH FIRST The Olympic torch has flown into space before in 1996 aboard the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis for the Atlanta Summer Olympics but it has never yet been taken outside a spacecraft. HANGING IN THE COSMOS Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazanskiy, who are part of the space station's current crew, will take the torch into open space Saturday when they venture outside the station. Kotov says they are planning to take video and photos of the torch, hopefully when the space station flies over Russia and the southern resort of Sochi can be seen in the background.

Russias booster rocket, Soyuz-FG, will carry new crew to the International Space Station. For the rst time, it will carry an Olympic torch to space as part of the ongoing Olympic torch relay. The rocket is scheduled to blast off on Thursday. FALLING BACK TO EARTH The torch will stay in space for five days until the returning crew takes it back to Earth next Monday, when Russian Fyodor Yurchikhin, NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg and Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency plan to land in Kazakhstan. JUST PART OF THE JOURNEY The four-month Sochi torch relay, which started in Moscow on Oct. 7, is the longest in the history of the Olympics. For most of the 65,000-kilometer (39,000-mile) route, the flame will travel by plane, train, car and even reindeer sleigh, but 14,000 torch bearers are taking part in the relay that stops at more than 130 cities and towns. Last month, the Olympic flame traveled to the North Pole onboard a Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker. Later this month it will sink to the bottom of the world's deepest lake, Lake Baikal. In February, the torch will be taken to the peak of Mount Elbrus, at 5,642 meters (18,510 feet) the highest

mountain in Russia and Europe. AND THE CLIMAX The torch will be used to light the Olympic flame at Sochi's stadium on Feb. 7, marking the start of the 2014 Winter Games that run until Feb. 23.

Indiana still undefeated after beating Detroit 99-91

ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Paul George scored 31 points, and the Indiana Pacers remained the NBA's only unbeaten team with a 99-91 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. The Pacers matched their best start in franchise history. They are 4-0 for the first time since the 2004-05 season. Indiana blew a 15-point lead in the first half but took control again with a strong third quarter. C.J. Watson had 15 points and David West finished with 12 for the Pacers. Brandon Jennings scored 17 points for the Pistons, who were done in by their 5-for-25 shooting from 3-point range. Detroit led 44-40 early in the third quarter before the Pacers went on a 15-2 run capped by an alley-oop to George. He scored 14 points in the quarter, and Indiana led 74-63 entering the fourth. Detroit cut the deficit to four early in the final period, but Indiana responded with six straight points to lead 82-72. The Pacers stretched the lead to 19 at 94-75 before the Pistons rallied in the final minutes to make the final score more respectable. It was 96-91 after Detroit's Kyle Singler made two free throws with 32.6 seconds left, but the Pacers broke Detroit's pressure and the Pistons didn't foul. West made a layup with 16.6 seconds left. The Pacers have won six straight over the Pistons, and the previous three wins had been lopsided, by 19, 32 and 18 points. The Pacers were without George Hill (sore left hip) for a second straight game, and Danny Granger is still out with a strained left calf, but they've

James scores 35 in Heat win over Toronto Raptors

ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO LeBron James scored a season-high 35 points, Dwyane Wade had 20 and the Miami Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 104-95 on Tuesday for their first road victory in three tries this season. Ray Allen scored 14 points for Miami, which lost at Philadelphia on Oct. 30 and was beaten 101-100 at Brooklyn on Nov. 1. James also had a season-high eight rebounds and eight assists as Miami topped 100 points for the fifth straight game, extending their team-record run to begin the season. With a putback dunk at 2:31 of the first quarter, James became the fifth player in NBA history to score 10 points or more in 500 consecutive games. A four-time MVP, James joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (with streaks of 787 and 508 games), Michael Jordan (866), Karl Malone (575) and Moses Malone (526) as the only players to accomplish the feat. It was the 162nd time during the streak that James has reached 10 points in the opening quarter. James has reached double figures in every game since being held to eight points at Milwaukee on Jan. 5, 2007. He scored 19 at New Jersey the following night. James has more regular-season games of scoring at least 50 points (nine) than nights where he's scored less than 10 (eight). Factor playoff games into the mix, and he's reached double figures 898 times in 907 career games. The Heat have won 12 straight against the Raptors since a 111-103 road loss on Jan. 27, 2010, when Miami forward Chris Bosh played for Toronto. DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with 21 points while Jonas Valanciunas had 18. Rudy Gay had 13 points and 10 rebounds for his second straight double-double. Leading 78-74, Miami took control by opening the fourth with a 12-0 run as Toronto went scoreless for the first 4:28, a drought that

ended when Tyler Hansbrough converted a pair of free throws. Bosh was unavailable following the birth Monday of his daughter, Dylan Skye Bosh. Shane Battier started in place of Bosh, who is expected to return when the Heat host the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. With Bosh out, Toronto took advantage of Miami's small lineup early. Valanciunas had 10 points midway through the first as the Raptors opened a 17-8 lead. After a Heat timeout, James scored four straight baskets as Miami cut the gap to 25-23 after one quarter. Toronto led 45-34 after Valanciunas made a hook shot at 4:56 of the second, but James scored seven points as the Heat closed the half on a 18-5 run to take a 52-50 lead. Mario Chalmers hit a 3 with less than a second left, giving Miami the lead for the first time. Wade scored 10 points in the third and James had eight as the Heat took a four-point lead into the final quarter.

Freshman Soucie lls big shoes on the court

BLAIR SHEADE
bsheade@kansan.com Coming off a road win against TCU on Saturday, the No. 24 Jayhawks (18-5, 8-2) will host the West Virginia Mountaineers (17-8, 3-6) tonight at the Horejsi Athletic Center. During the TCU game, freshman middle blocker Tayler Soucie recorded 16 kills on 21 swings with no errors and a .571 hitting percentage, which was her best hitting percentage all season Soucie was named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week for her performance against Baylor and TCU. She had 22 kills on 37 swings with just one error and four blocks in seven games last week. Soucie earned Big 12 Conference player of the week honors three times this season. Soucie is a little ahead of the curve, coach Ray Bechard said at media day on Monday. She wants the ball in a big moment ... We knew that shed compete hard and help us, but hitting .350 and blocking almost 1.25 are solid numbers for anyone, let alone a freshman. Soucie is only a freshman and shes been given a lot of opportunities to help the Jayhawks this season, but its normal for new freshmen to contribute quickly. The difference this year is that Soucie is filling Kansas the shoes of standout Tayler Tolefree from last season. The first day of practice, Coach has expected a lot from me and expected me to step up to play the position Tayler Tolefree played last year, Soucie said. Her shoes are big shoes to fill in and I was overwhelmed at first, but Im getting there and getting better. Soucie and Tolefree coincidentally spell their first name the same

Soucie earned Big 12 Conference player of the week honors three times this season. and play the same position. Their dominance in the middle is also very similar. Coaches say Tayler taking over for Tayler, Soucie said. Soucie, who is the second leading blocker for the Jayhawks behind senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, attributes her success this season to Jarmocs leadership and guidance from the team seniors. It has been good to have Caroline to learn from and have the support from the rest of the team, Soucie said. The road hasnt always been smooth for the freshman middle blocker, but shes learned a lot so far. I have to shake off mistakes and keep going, Soucie said. Youre going to have ups and youre going to have downs, but you have to keep playing. Keep working hard and it will pay off. Soucie, who had three consecutive double-digit kill games against Iowa State, Baylor and TCU, was the seventh Jayhawk to receive Big 12 Player of the Week this season. Earlier this season, Kansas almost faced a 2-0 deficit before the Jayhawks won three straight sets to win 3-1 in Morgantown, W. Va. Since joining the Big 12 Conference, the West Virginia Mountaineers, who are currently No. 6 in the Big 12 Conference, are 5-0 against the Jayhawks. Mountaineer junior Evyn McCoy leads the Big 12 Conference with 1.5 blocks per set during Big 12 matches. The Mountaineers are fifth in blocks per set and third in kills allowed

The Jayhawks hope for their first win against Oklahoma State since 2007
MATT CORTE
mcorte@kansan.com Piersons Potential If you dont practice, you dont play. This seems to be an age-old rule followed by many coaches and its no different with Charlie Weis. Last week against Texas, Tony Pierson warmed up and stretched in uniform hoping to play after not participating in practice all week. It seems he never got Weis memo. Pierson instead rode the bench as the Jayhawks fell 35-13. One has to question whether Tony could have helped a Kansas offense struggling to produce points, but coming off a concussion, it was smart for Weis to protect the short- and long-term health of his player rather than risk it for a win. This week Pierson practiced without a red jersey, meaning hes cleared from being monitored. It seems hell play this Saturday. The timing couldnt be better for Kansas as they prepare to face Oklahoma State a team scoring just over 40 points per game, good for No. 14 in the country. Pierson still leads the team in receptions with 21 after missing most of the Baylor game and all of the Texas game, so its no shock that Heaps and the Jayhawk offense desperately needed No. 3 back. James Sims and Darrian Miller will handle most of the carries in the back field, but if neither prove to be effective Pierson is more than capable of handling the rock. He averaged 6.5 yards per carry last season on 117 carries and has improved this year, averaging 6.7 yards per carry, albeit on only 12 carries. Simply put, Tony Pierson is the most diverse, dynamic player on this offense. Every coach loves an athlete with big play potential and Pierson has proved he can be that man in this offense. He hauled in the longest touchdown of the year for Kansas: a 77-yarder against Rice, which is 47 yards longer than any other Kansas touchdown on offense. The Jayhawks hope to use that big play potential against Oklahoma State this weekend in an attempt to beat the Cowboys for the first time since 2007. Splitting Field Goals Charlie Weis practiced two different field goal units last Wednesday for the first time in his 34-year coaching career, with Matthew Wyman taking first team reps. This week he will continue that trend by practicing two separate teams on field goals. However, heading into Stillwater, Okla., this Saturday, Ron Doherty will be the starting place kicker for Kansas. The switch happened after the first drive against Texas last Saturday when Wyman missed a 31-yard field goal with the ball hooking left from contact. Putting Doherty in proved to be the right decision, as the senior went 2-2 on field goals and knocked through his only extra point. Come gametime, Doherty will handle the short yardage field goals, but Wyman may be able to redeem himself and help Kansas by making the long ones. Weis stated in his press conference on Tuesday that if there was a field goal from around 55 yards in the Texas game, Wyman would have been sent out to kick it. Boone Pickens Stadium proved to be a tough environment to play in, and kicking will be no easy task against the Cowboys with 60,000 screaming fans. Every point is crucial in a football game and whether its Doherty or Wyman out there, theyll have to be on target if the Jayhawks want to come away with a victory. Anticipating the Cowboys Running the ball against Oklahoma State may prove to be tough for Kansas, with the Cowboys holding NCAA teams this season to 122.9 yards per game, good for No. 18 in the country. Weis was quick to point out in his press conference that Oklahoma State excels in defense because their best players are all right in the middle. This should be no surprise as the Cowboys had two players from their starting interior lineman, safety and middle linebacker positions selected to a Preseason All-Big 12 team. Of course, the Jayhawks have a solid rushing attack of their own, ranking No. 96 in the country, which places them in the top third

Piersons return should also help Kansas run the ball more effectively, as his speed in the passing game will keep most of the secondary from creeping up to stop the run. The Jayhawks run defense will also be tested on Saturday, as Oklahoma State boasts the 55th best rushing offense in the country, churning out 180 yards per game. Although Big 12 teams are known to spread out the ball and

throw, its the run game that opens the opportunity to make plays downfield. If Kansas is able to outrush Oklahoma State and give Heaps chances to throw, it could mean a win for the Jayhawks. If not, and Oklahoma State bullies Kansas to the ground, look for the Cowboys to control the ball and stay on cruise control all game. Edited by Kayla Overbey

Bowl Championship Series berth. Matchup number two showcases two teams you probably havent seen much of because youve probably been a little too invested in Lawrence nightlife on the weekends. No. 3 Oregon seeks revenge against a fifth-ranked Stanford team that ended its bid for a perfect season last year and crushed BCS title game hopes. Oregon appeared set for a headon collision with Kansas State until both teams lost on the same night, K-State with an ironic loss to Baylor. Stanford has already beat four ranked opponents this year, and despite a loss to unranked Utah, finds itself very much in the middle of the BCS mix. Oregon is looking for a signature win to boost its resume against other major contenders Florida State and Alabama. The Ducks arguably have been one slipup away from a BCS championship each year since 2010. If Stanford again finds a way to foil the high-flying Ducks plans, it could very well be Rose Bowl at minimum for the Cardinal. Thursday is the big day, football fans. There isnt a Kansas game day on Saturday for everyone to dress up and not go into the stadium.

THE MORNING BREW

f youre going to watch football one day this week, that day should be Thursday. I know what youre thinking. Dude, no way. Free cover at The Hawk. Or maybe its, Oh, what a cop-out because the Chiefs have a bye week. If you believe the former, then best of luck to you. Seriously. And if your opinion is the latter, then sure, its the first time this NFL season that The Kingdom wont take home a win for the weekend. But whether youre being lame and doing homework or sweating it out in a bar basement, college football is calling your name in a very BIG way on Thursday. The first top-10 matchup features a tenthranked Oklahoma traveling to Waco, Texas, to take on a sixth-ranked, undefeated Baylor team that has dominated on both sides of the football. The Bears currently rank sixth in points allowed, and nobody even talks about their defense because the offense is so good. The Jayhawks held Baylor to its second lowest scoring output

The Sooners only loss came at the hands of the Texas Longhorns, who have looked impressive during their current five-game winning streak. Oklahoma boasts a top-15 defense, and the matchup with Baylor should be excellent to watch. The winner will have only Texas and Oklahoma State to fend off for the Big 12 championship and a

Fate of Houston Astrodome decided in vote

ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON When voters in Houston head to the polls Tuesday, they could be deciding whether the shuttered Astrodome is saved or razed. A referendum on Tuesday's ballot would authorize up to $217 million in bonds to transform the so-called "Eighth Wonder of the World" into a giant convention and event center and exhibition space. Houston-area leaders have said the stadium that was once home to professional baseball and football teams would likely be torn down if the ballot measure fails to pass. Houston resident Wilton Schexnayder, 62, who has fond memories of seeing Astros and Oilers games as well as the rodeo inside the world's first multipurpose domed stadium, said he plans on voting in favor of the referendum. "I think they should preserve it," he said. "It's just a part of the history of Houston." A coalition of local and national preservation groups as well as a political action committee have banded together to get the referendum passed with the slogan, "Save the Astrodome." While there hasn't been an organized effort against the referendum, some opponents have said the money to refurbish the Astrodome could be better spent on other projects. The referendum calls for creating 350,000 square feet of exhibition space by removing all the interior seats and raising the floor to street level. Other changes included creating 400,000 square feet of plaza and green space on the outside of the structure as part of the project, dubbed "The New Dome Experience." "I love the Astrodome. It's the memories of my childhood. But pouring good money after bad is a bad financial decision," said Michael Berry, a former Houston councilman. Opened in 1965, the Astrodome was home to Major League Baseball's Astros and the National Football League's Houston Oilers. It was spacious enough to fit an 18-story building under its 208-foot-high roof. But it hasn't been home to a sports team since 1999 and has been closed to all events since 2009. While still structurally sound, the iconic stadium has fallen into disrepair. On Saturday, thousands of people bought stadium seats, pieces of AstroTurf and other items at a "yard sale" and auction of Astrodome memorabilia. The stadium's most prominent use in recent years was as a shelter for Louisiana residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The Astrodome sits gathering dust and items for storage in Houston. A coalition of local and national preservation groups is taking its efforts to save the iconic but now shuttered Houston Astrodome to the streets.

DEPTH AND SKILL

By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com

t took more than 32 minutes into Tuesdays exhibition game against Fort Hays State for Kansas to finally churn out a complete play on both sides of the court. Andrew Wiggins skied to block a Tiger shot, rebounded it himself and slung the rock up court to fellow freshman Wayne Selden. As the lone Tiger defender approached, Selden smoothly dished it off to a streaking Perry Ellis in the lane. Two-handed slam. Mission complete. Ellis dunk put the Jayhawks up 32 points en route to a 92-75 victory in the teams final tune up before Fridays season opener. Yes, it is an exhibition game. And yes, none of this really matters. But the play was an awesome moment in the game for fans who are desperately awaiting a team to play elite. There is immense talent that is ready to be groomed by the nations best coach. In other words, the ingredients are mixed, but are not yet in the oven. The heat will come early, of course. Kansas boasts arguably the nations toughest nonconference schedule with slates against Duke, Florida, New Mexico, San Diego State and Georgetown. What fans will see in December wont be close to the product in March. Or Ill say it April. When Kansas comes hot out of the oven later this season, it will be a fine-tuned, uber-athletic, slashing, ferociously guarding machine. Itll be exactly that because Bill Self will have it no other way. He is a relentless perfectionist that demands the same from his team. But Self isnt the one defending and putting points on the board. And for this team to play up to the standards the impossible hype that has been created, the responsibility will largely fall on the shoulders of the three involved in Tuesdays most complete play. Ellis, of course, is the closest representation of Self s desired polished product. Hes a pure scorer that can put the ball in the basket in so many ways. More importantly, hes a precedent for what Wiggins and Selden are very capable of doing when March rolls around. Last season, Ellis showed both growing pains and blips of greatness throughout the year. But March arrived and Ellis was great when he came out the kitchen. The unknowns are Selden and Wiggins questions that need to turn into statements. Wiggins will need to be un-guardable. And theres no reason to say he isnt already there. His spin move is dizzying and it hardly takes a dribble to get from the 3-point line to the rim. The perimeter shooting is the only real knock on his game. Points will be a must from Selden. He led the team in scoring Tuesday with 13 in just 20 minutes of action. The new hand-check rules will play in favor of his slashing style and hell largely contribute from the free throw line. If Kansas is cutting down any sort of nets this year, Wiggins, Selden and Ellis will be the first up the ladder. Edited by Chas Strobel

Kansas will be remembered for nal games

CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com This is what Charlie Weis calls the final third. Weis likes to break his team's season schedule up into three parts and Saturdays game against Oklahoma State signals the beginning of the last third of Kansas schedule. He even made a joke about it. If we go 6-6, they build a statue, Weis said. This was all in tongue-in-cheek obviously, but theres no shaking off what this last third of the schedule means for a program that sits in the cellar of the conference. Trying to climb out from the bottom can be tough, but for a program with many growing pains this season, the finish is the most important stage. This season will be remembered on what happens in the last four games, Weis said. For the Jayhawks, wins mean everything otherwise the process is a failure. As Weis has noted multiple times, these next four games will be a testament to if this team is honestly getting better. Wins are the blatant measuring stick for that, but things can tend to get aggravating for players and coaches as fans expect immediate results in this age of instant gratification. Through it all, Weis said that the main focus is to draw a conclusion after the season. I think the most important thing is to let the season play out. Sometimes you have not just how things are going, but how they finish, Weis said last week. While Kansas sits at just two wins, a new slate provides an opportunity for Kansas to prove that its program is gearing toward a positive place. Thats the perspective were taking. This 2-6 is not what theyre going to be remembered by, Weis said. Now that things have played out, he still believes in his team and that progress will manifest itself in all facets. Weis is still understandably upset at the way the season has gone, but it isnt on the personnel. Im going to be miserable anyway; it doesnt really make a difference. I like to win every game. Im 2-6 as the head coach this year Im not very happy, Weis said. But its not because the players arent playing hard. The team has had many ups and downs all season, but despite everything, college football is about peaking at the right time. Finishing off the season well, as Weis admits, is a more encouraging sign than how it started off. Thats their legacy. Their legacy isnt where they are two-thirds of the way through the season, Weis said. I think thats clearly the way our team is looking at that. Edited by Kayla Overbey Coach Weis speaks with the media after the Louisiana Tech game on Sept. 21.
