Kick the 'Kansan' champ recommends second place to panelists

Surgeon General's Fake Warning: If you are offended by unabashed bragging, boasting, trash talking or utter nonsense, read no further. I've beaten every member of this week's panel, and it's payback time for the season-sized bag of beatings I've taken.
this week's Kick the Kansan "winners." Not a single member of this week's panel had a better record than I did last week. Still, they'll all get their T-shirts and coupons for Mojos, not to mention the instant celebrity status. What did I get — the satisfaction of doing something right. Second place is looking better already, huh?
In case you're not convinced, take a look at Kara Hansen.
Topeka sophomore. Hansen was on the panel earlier this semester when she tied me. I count that as second-place — tie goes to the dealer, you know. I had the opportunity to talk with her about how the experience has changed her life.
"My teachers were saying that I was famous now, because I was in the Kansan." Hansen said.
Careful, Kara — they don't really love you. They just want a
piece of the Hollywood lifestyle Kick the Kansan has undoubtedly provided for you. Let me tell you, identifying your true friends gets hard when you're famous.
Honestly folks, this second-place business is a sweet deal. As the second-place finisher, you avoid the nearly unbearable media spotlight placed on the champion, who, in case you forget, is me this week. You assume the coveted role of underdog.
with millions rooting for you. In the event that the champion is not able to perform his duties, you step in on the speaking tour.
And it's the same place that Kansan sportswriter John Domoney occupies. Domoney is a former champion, and he hasn't won since. Some may argue that losing his ballot has something to do with it, but I'm pretty sure that he just prefers second.
The champion — that's me;
again — is bombarded by adoring fans everywhere he goes. As soon as people hear that you are a Kick the Kansan champ, the questions start flying. Questions such as "Who are you?" "Kick the what?" and "Who cares?" All that attention can be a real nightmare.
So it may be time to shift your priorities. Aim for that first-runner up position. I'll bear the burden of champion.

are also the defending NCAA champions.
Both teams are ready to
run," he said. "On paper, if we finish like we should, we'll do better than last year."
The women's 6k race will start at 10 a.m. and the men's 8k race at 11 a.m. Weather casters predict the temperature to be between 35 to 40 degrees. Junior Laura Lavoie said the team
should be ready for the cooler temperatures because they had been training in the same conditions in Lawrence.
For the men, senior Mark Menefee and sophomore Chris Jones have set the pace for Kansas. The two have traded off as the first and second place
Kansas runners this season.
Junior Laura Lavoie, sophomore Megan Manthe and junior Paige Higgins have been at the front of the Kansas women's pack.
Manthe said the team had been watching many Big 12 team results and comparing Kansas' progress to them. She said comparing skills was hard because the results came from other courses and under different conditions.
"I think for sure we want to place higher than last year," Manthe said. "We'd like to be top three to five."
