terday and wanted to see what it was all about. Students can also choose what historic sports event they want to recreate on CD-ROM in the play-by-play booth.
The event had a diverse crowd - from students, to parents with their children, to teachers.
"We had a great crowd today." said Rod Koch, representative for the tour. "It has been pretty steady throughout the day."
"Iheard something about it yesterday, and I wanted to check it out," said Kelly Steinle, Overland Park freshman. "Plus it's a nice day."
Sigel said the weather had no effect on him coming out to participate and he would have even in the cold.
“Even if it was cold, I would be out here. It's just a lot of fun,” he said.
Julia Watson, Prairie Village senior, and Neal Anson, Gardner senior, also came to the event because it looked like fun. They both had initial doubts about their athletic abilities.
"We're biology majors, so we are doing as well as can be expected." Anson said.
Watson disagreed with him, not wanting to blame her poor performance on the major she chose.
"That's his excuse," she said. "I'm in askirt and heels."
The event will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. today. It is free, open to the public and prizes are awarded for all events.

Thrown for a loop with NCAA virtual sports
Like many pseudo-athletes, I headed out to the NCAA Beyond the Game Tour presented by CBS Sports yesterday afternoon.
I've always loved games such as the basketball Pop-A-Shot and quarterback games, in which you try to throw a football through a small hole. I was prepared to try several of these sort of events, which were low on athleticism and high on confidence.
What I didn't expect was to be thrown a few twists in each event.
In lacrosse, which I was absolutely horrid at, the goal was to catch a lacrosse ball thrown at you and toss the ball into an open net a few feet away. While I am a pretty solid football-basketball-baseball guy who would probably say several college sports are just as useless as Olympic curling. I now have a newfound respect for lacrosse players. After the first five or so tosses, I realized just how tough it was to catch a ball with a lacrosse stick, much less score with it.
In rowing, four of us from The University Daily Kansan staff attempted to row a boat to beat the NCAA winning time of the year. After rowing for the time limit, we saw just how bad the result was. Maybe if our sports editor rowed harder, we would have cut a few seconds off our time, but it was OK. I began to believe what I heard about rowing taking as much energy as two consecutive basketball games.
I was actually one of those people who had been waiting to rob a home run. I didn't know who the pitcher was, but several of the balls went flying over my head as I showed off my

non-existent vertical. I jumped and jumped and I caught a few, but the pitcher kept getting shelled worse than last year's Royals bullpen, and the balls were always just a few inches too high. Try as I might, I was no Torii Hunter.
I tried basketball then, and I did fairly well, sinking four of the five shots taken. The Christian Laettner virtual reality shot was the one that I kept missing. A cardboard cutout was right in front of that shot, so
shooters would either have to shoot over the guy or contort their body and shoot around him. After hitting the Tyus Edney shot, I gained confidence. I, too, could beat Missouri if given an opportunity in a tournament game. I was rewarded for my efforts with a mini-basketball.
The last game was the football passing game. There were two defenders and two blitzers, and I had five balls to put into the receiver's hands as he slid by track between the two. He moved fairly slow, but fast enough that the last throw was at an awkward angle pinched right between the defender. The receiver was about seven yards off — out of new San Francisco quarterback Ken Dorsey's range — but I did pretty well. My fourth time playing it, I sank all four of the balls
and needed the fifth right past the last defender into the receiver's outstretched hands. Success! For my outstanding ability to hit the crossing pattern under pressure, I got a T-shirt. Mark Mangino, watch out.
At the end of my time there, I came away with many prizes. But really, I came away with a lot more.
Playing all of the games gave me the opportunity to do something other than my usual sports of basketball and football. Stop by today from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and participate in some you've never tried before. You just might like it and may start to appreciate and respect the efforts of athletes who participate in sports other than the big three.

ISU coach suspended firing may be in days
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa - Iowa State basketball coach Larry Eustachy was suspended yesterday after acknowledging he is an alcoholic, and the athletics director urged the school to fire him.
Three hours after Eustachy said he has sought treatment but will not resign, athletics director Bruce Van De Velde held a news conference of his own to announce that Eustachy would be suspended with pay and should be replaced.
Eustachy has five days to appeal to the president's office.
ing 17-14 last season. In 13 seasons as a head coach, including stops at Idaho and Utah State, he is 265-145.
Eustachy is 101-59 in five seasons at Iowa State, includ-
Eustachy guided Iowa State to Big 12 championships in 2000 and 2001 and was the AP national coach of the year in 2000.
Van De Velde took the action because Eustachy "had engaged in behavior that is inconsistent with his responsibility to conduct himself in a manner that reflects positively on Iowa State University and the university's athletic programs."
Van De Velde said he could not comment beyond a prepared statement that he read, and he left without taking questions.

next year would be a make-or-break year. If the Cyclones don't make the NCAA Tournament next season, look for a change to be made in Ames.
The Kansas baseball team's slim hopes at an NCAA Tournament at-large berth will be on the line when college baseball's defending national champion — No.6 Texas — comes to Lawrence for a three-game set.
Who would have thought the Jayhawks would even be thinking NCAA Tournament right now? The usual comedy this time of year revolves around whether the squad will finish in the Big 12 basement. Now, with two out of three victories this weekend, Kansas can start thinking a spot is possible.
Give Price another year to recruit, and watch out. Every time the Jayhawks are beaten by sound pitching. Price's eyes light up as if to say, "Wait till our staff looks like that. It won't be long." The current staff, spearheaded by left-handers Wheeler and Ryan Knippschild, exceeded expectations but struggled as competition increased.
Ritch Price has done a remarkable job with this year's team. His tutelage has led to the improvement of the entire lineup, top to bottom. Casey Spanish, Ryan Baty, Kevin Wheeler and Matt Tribble will all get looks in this year's MLB draft.
■ My faith in Major League Baseball has been renewed. The Royals and Expos in first place? The Diamondbacks and the defending World Series champions — the Angels — under .500? All we need is a Cubs vs.
Red Sox World Series and this baseball season will be complete.
Is it just me, or has it seemed like the NBA and NHL playoffs have been going on for three or four months already? The duration it takes to play these leagues' postseasons because of mega-bucks TV deals is absurd. The first round of the NBA playoffs isn't even completely over yet; it's a joke.
Interesting, isn't it, that all is quiet on the Kansas athletics director search? Quiet is how Chancellor Robert Hemenway better like it. All eyes will be on him for this decision, as he has taken a lot of well-deserved heat for the recent drama in the Athletics Department.
