People used to joke that the Kansas-Kansas State game would decide who end up being ranked ninth in the Big Eight Conference.

The annual rivalry between the two schools would be named the "Toilet Bowl" by a few jeering fans.
But Kansas coach Glenn Mason doesn't think any of those jokes are the least bit funny as he prepares for the NCAA basketball season. Saturday against the Wildcats.
It's a game that Mason and many players hope will leave the Kansas offense and defense with the last laugh, after they find that spark that will help dispel the team's mid-season blues.
"It is a sad state of affairs when people want to make fun of the Kansas-Kansas State,game," Masor said. "I think the last two games between us have been healthy for college football."
Mason said that as far as the players were concerned, the rivalry with KState was just as big as the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry.
"You've got a bunch of kids getting together and playing their hearts out, just for the sake of playing." Mason said. "If we have accomplished any thing, I'm going to poking fun of the two programs anymore and I think that's good."

Mason said that although tough competition would make the Jay hawks better in the long run, his team needed victories to gain confidence.
"We're like the salesman that keeps knocking on the door and doesn't make a sale." Mason said. "It's hard to sell yourself as a better person. It takes its all said and done, people are won." You ask how many you've won.
You've got a bunch of kids getting together and playing their hearts out, ust for the sake of playing.

"It didn't even feel like we were playing last Saturday because of the emotional tempo of the game." Hillary said. "Everybody was just there. Offensively we weren't in the swing and we were in the whole game, things did not feel right."

The Kansas volleyball team lost in three games last night to Central Missouri State in a match that brought Kansas coach Frank Abilatz to doubt the Jayhawks' killer instinct.

"I just don't think we're mean enough." Albitz said the 13-15, 5-15, 11-15 loss in Allen Field House. "We got those seats, and then no one
The leads she referred to have been built and lost by Kansas in numerous matches this season. Against CMSU, he played in the first and third game.
In the first game, Kansas came back from a 3-7 deficit and led the Jennies 13-10. After a CMSU timeout, the Jennies rallied to take the game without allowing the Jayhawks another point.
In the third game, Kansas took the first three-point lead of a tight game at 11.8 before again shutting down oftensely and failing to score at 11.8. At 11.8, Kansas had two consecutive career opportunities that went wide.
"We get a lead and hit two or three serves out." Albatz said. "It's not like we are acting them. When we just bring them in, they are just passing them around."
Senior April Chavey, who led Kans in sids in with 21, said the loss may have been because of the Jayhawks' preparation for Friday's match with Utah.

With the loss, Kansas record fell to 12-10. The Jayhawks are fourth in the conference at 3-3 and travel tomorrow to Norman, Okla. for an import game. The opposing coaches Oklahoma is 2-4 in the Big Ten and currently ranked fifth.
Chavey said that although the Jay's hawks were defeated last night, their hitting had been a bright spot in the match.
Albitz found no such consolation.
'We're not hitting hard enough,' she said. 'No one has confidence to go ahead and hit away.'
'I just don't think we're mean enough. We get those leads, and then no one is able to finish them off.'

Albiz said she tried to fire the Jayhawks up by bringing in freshman setter Shelly Bedl to replace junior Jillie Woodruff. Lard finished the match with 21 assists, Woodruff had 18.
"I told them in practice that if we lost the first game again I would do something drastic," she said. "I wanted them to they would fire up and play better."
Junior Adrian Powell led the Jayhawks in kills with 14 in seven attempts. Kansas had a total of 46 kills, while CMSU's totalled 56.
