'Penguin'enlivens blasé game
By Michael Rigg

Kansan sportswriter
The verdict from students is in, and they say the Jayhawks' home non-conference schedule is for the birds.
So much so that for Monday's game against Middle Tennessee State, one Kansas student showed up dressed as a penguin.
That's right, a penguin.
The tuxedo-like bird costume was inspired by Adam Sandler's 1995 movie Billy Madison. At one point in the second half, everybody in the student section on the fieldhouse's south side sat down, and the penguin remained standing to distract the Blue Raiders' free-throw shooters.
For the record, there is a student in the penguin costume. He's Matt Dallman, Prairie Village senior and a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Because Dallman is graduating at the end of the semester, he wanted to end his tenure as a Kansas student in a memorable fashion.
"I wanted to go out with a bang," Dallman said. "I figured it was my duty as a fan to dress up as a penguin and start waving my arms and trying to distract the other team from making a shot. If (the Blue Raiders) missed one shot because of me, then I've done my job."
Dallman was given the costume after a performer named Dino the Magician
donated the outfit to the summer camp where Dallman worked. But when Dallman decided to wear it to a basketball game, he had no idea what kind of response he would get. As it turned out, the response was overwhelming for the penguin, and Dallman even got to go onto the court at halftime to shoot baskets and shake the hand of longtime broadcaster Max Falkenstien.
Of course, Dallman does have ties to the Kansas men's basketball team. Junior forward Jeff Carey is also a member of Dallman's fraternity, and Carey knew about the penguin's appearance before the game. Dallman also said he planned to attend the Jayhawks' game tomorrow against Illinois State.
Students who viewed Dallman's antics at Monday's game said the costume made an otherwise boring game into an entertaining affair.
"I thought the penguin was awesome," said Ryan Yaeger, Maple Lake, Minn., freshman. "Random stuff like that is what makes games like that fun."
In fact, some Kansas students have become bored with the ho-hum whippings the Jayhawks have given their opponents at home. Kansas has won all four of its home games by an average of 35 points, and students are starting to get bored.
the schedule was created by Kansas coach Roy Williams, who said the weaker schedule was the result of an
unfavorable seeding in last year's NCAA tournament. So although last year's home non-conference schedule included NCAA-tournament teams such as Pepperdine and Ohio State, this season's schedule features two Division II teams and two other opponents — Boise State and Illinois State
- that didn't even have winning records last season. Although the schedule may mean more wins, it means less excitement for students.
"It's a little hard to be excited when they're winning by 35 points every night," said Dave Martin, Overland Park junior. "I understand why Roy is doing the schedule like he is, but it's not fun to watch."
Lorie Rziha, a Great Bend senior who has attended every home game this season, agreed.
"It's so boring to see them just kill everybody like that," Riha said. "I mean, why can't they get some real teams in here?"
Despite the fans' boredom, the Kansas players are looking at this part of their schedule as a chance to become stronger.
"We're looking at it as improving ourselves as much as we can these couple of games," said senior forward Luke Axtell. "It's not old. We look at it as a chance to get better because we have a lot of big games coming up especially in the conference."
