"It was just a reaction to a high snap," he said. "I saw this guy coming, so I took off. It wasn't planned."
Hadi also remembers thinking that from that moment on, he'd better make the play a convincing one.
"I knew that Coach Mitchell was going to kick my rear end if I didn't get a first down," he said. "Then when I knew that I was going to make it, I relaxed and went farther down the field."
Mitchell still jokes that that run was the best prepared play of the game.
"It was just a case of having a good player in a key position," he said.
Running back Curt McClinton and quarterback Roger McFarland scored the three remaining Kansas touchdowns.
Hesitation costs Angels
"This may be the last time that many of us see each other again." Fisher said of the reunion. "This will give us a chance to relive a time that is so important to all of us. We were lucky to have Jack Mitchell as our coach, he's been a good influence on all os us."
Mitchell turned down an invitation to flip the coin at KU's game Saturday because he felt the team as a unit was more important than himself. He said he was looking forward to meeting his players again after such a long time.
"I've told so many stories since I coached at KU, I can't remember which ones are true and which are lies," Mitchell said. "I need to find out how many times I've led in 25 years."

BOSTON — When Moose Stubing hesitated, Bobby Grich — and the Angels — were lost.
With California trailing 3-2 in the sixth innning, third-base coach Larry "Moose" Stubing failed to give the "Hall!" sign as Grich rounded third on Bob Boone's one-out line-drive single to left field. Grich was tagged out in a rundown, and the Boston Red Sox went on to a 9-2 victory in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.
"I blew it," Stubing said to a throng of reporters in the California locker room, "I waited too long. What's the big deal? I got the guy thrown out. I've done it before."
After Grich, 37 and no rabbit even in his youth, had rounded third base and committed to the plate, he looked back over his right shoulder to Stubing, who belatedly warned Grich to stop.
Third baseman Wade Boggs leaped to catch the throw from Jim Rice, then threw to shortstop Spike Owen who was covering the bag at third.
Boggs says taking batting title is his biggest accomplishment
BOSTON — Wade Boggs said winning the American League batting titles in 1983 with a .361 average and in 1985 with a .368 mark was easy. Anybody could do it, he said, even with nothing on his mind.
United Press International
Taking his third batting crown with a .357 mark this year, though, was the toughest accomplishment of his life.
"Without a doubt, this has been the most memorable year I've ever had in my life," he said. "Just getting back in the swing of things is the toughest thing I've ever had to deal with. Baseball was very immaterial in July."
The Boston Red Sox were in Yankee Stadium on July 17, preparing for a night game when Boggs received word that his mother had just been killed in an auto accident.
The man who demonstrates consumate control on the field simply snapped. Onlookers described his reaction as "berserk" and "out of control." He required sedation to quell his agitated state.

he could block out the emotional strain. It didn't last.
"After about a three-week period, it hit me like a ton of
bricks." he said.
Bogg's batting average, which had been as high as 404 in June. blummeted to .357.
"If you had asked me in July if I would win the batting title and even hit 300, I would have said no," he said. "It was something I just didn't care about. I didn't even care about getting hits."
He turned to his father for strength and sought counseling from a number of sources. Slowly, he healed. Now he can bear to look back on the darkest period of his life.
light switch. The emotions . . . the concentration just wasn't there. I've never had a lack of concentration. You go to the plate and get a good pitch and don't get a hit, and you come back to the dugout and wonder why."
He claims he no longer wonders why his mother was killed or why anything else happens. Now he embraces fate.
"Whatever's meant to be is meant to be," he says.
"Fate. It's all written in the cards. I'm a firm believer in that. There's nothing you can do to change it."
"It's not something you can turn off and on like a
"If we're going to the World Series, it's already planned."
Scanning his statistics, it appears fate has been generally kind to Boggs. This season he walked a career-high 105 times and reached base in 45 percent of his at-bats, both major-league highs. He was second with a career-high of 47 doubles and recorded over 200 hits for the fourth straight year, the only Red Sox player ever to do so.
The way he recovered from personal tragedy is testimony to his fortitude — and precision swing. After coming to grips with his mother's death, he rebounded to hit in 20 straight games from Aug. 29 to Sept. 18, hitting .405 in that stretch.
In August, Manager John McNamara moved Boggs from second to leadoff in the batting order, forcing him to deal with another kind of turmoil. Last winter he lost at arbitration, largely because of his RBI total. Hitting leadoff, his chances of vindicating his weak run-production problem were lessened, but still he hit like a machine. Batting first, he hit .385 until the end of the regular season.
Today, Wade Boggs — and fate — move on to Anaheim, Calif.

"brad played the rest of the game with a broken nose," Mackovie said: "We don't know for sure, but it's possible that David Lutz' knee injury may have been aggravated in the fight."
Asked if Los Angeles was deliberately trying to maim his players, Mackovic said, "Yes. No question about it."
Earlier yesterday, Los Angeles Raiders head coach Tom Flores strongly charged charges that his players intentionally tried to hurt members of the Chiefs and questioned the way the accusations were made public.
"We don't condone violence." Flores said at his weekly news conference. "We don't teach it. We never have and never will. It is not our way."
"We teach aggressive football. We played Sunday at one point without six starters. There were a lot of people hurt. Anime you have a game with that intensity, you will have a lot of injuries.
"If you have charges like that, you are supposed to complain to the league office without any fanfare. It is my understanding that he (Mackovic) violated league rules, showing films the way he did."
A Raiders spokesman said Mackovic violated Rule 9.3 F — questioning officials and calls in public with the use of game films.
