HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 21).
You have a knack for making money this year, but will it all slip through your fingers? Can you find a safe place where you can stash some away for later? That's the challenge you're facing. Copy a Taurus who's financially sure.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
OK, now it's time to get back to the grind and continue to bring in the money. Also clamp down on expenses. It's true that money saved is money earned.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6. Not much gets by you, but don't broadcast how much you know. Instead, use your information to further your objectives.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8. Better move quickly on a romantic matter. Don't put it off any longer. Finish up something you promised to do, even if it involves a commitment.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. Continue to fix up your place, even if you have to make a big mess first. The opportunity for romance comes soon. You're creating ambiance.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7. The more you learn, the more others depend on you. Want to take over the company and run it right? Keep studying.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7. An early flurry of activity should ease into a phase of relative serenity. Keep that in mind when things get tense. The worst is almost over.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22). Today is an 8.
You don't yet have the resources to accomplish everything you envision.
With a little help from your friends, however, anything is possible.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
It may feel as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders. If so, don't falter.
Don't go it alone, either. Get a buddy to help.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7. You have new stories to tell but not during working hours. A big job deserves your attention now. Put off playtime until Thursday.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 7. Heaven knows you've worked enough on weekends. Think you could find time to play during the week? Like, tonight? Totally legit, of course.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6. You should soon start to notice a subtle shift in your favor. A barrier is dissolving, and you'll also have more energy. Sometimes we win just by hanging on.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 9. You've had a chance to develop new theories. Now let's see which ones of them work. Be especially aware of rules and regulations, including the law of gravity.

Club soccer aims at nationals

The University of Kansas men's club soccer team has set its sights on playing in the national tournament following a string of recent promising victories.
Since losing the championship match of the Kansas State Ed Chartrand Tournament on Sept. 29 to Kansas State University, KU has won three consecutive games, all victories by a margin of two goals or more. The wins have made the team optimistic for a regional placing that will take them to nationals.
"Everyone is focused and well coached," said graduate student Cedric Sunray. "We want to win the national championship, nothing else really matters."
KU's winning streak began with a 5-1 victory over the University of Arkansas on Oct. 5, followed with a 3-1 victory over St. Louis University on Oct. 13. Yesterday, the team earned its most recent victory in a 6-0 pounding of the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
With these victories, KU improved its conference record to a perfect 8-0. It has a No.1 ranking in MidAmerican Sports Club League conference and is ranked second to the University of Texas in regional competition. Senegal-native El Hadjj Oumar Seck leads the nation by scoring 36 points from 14 goals and 8 assists.
The loss to Kansas State in the Chartrand tournament served as a motivating experience for the team en-route to its current winning streak.
"The K-State game was awful, but we realized a fluke is a fluke and you bounce back," Sunray said.
In the loss, the team outplayed Kansas State but came away empty-handed after several shots hit the post and other scoring chances were thwarted.
Aside from the scoring presence of Seck and the admirable play of Sean Murray, Topeka junior and Ben Stone, Emporia senior, the goalkeeping of Chris Hartley has kept KU's winning streak alive.
"He has made several highlight-reel saves for us." Sunray said.
Sunray, a former NCAA soccer player for Millersville University in Pennsylvania, said the level of play KU had showed lately rivaled the play of several of the Division I teams he had faced as an NCAA athlete.
"I've played all these Division I schools, and this team can play with anybody." Sunray said.
With more NCAA men's soccer programs being cut because of Title IX constraints, the level of nationwide club soccer has escalated, Sunray said.
KU plays top-20 ranked National Association of Inter-Collegiate Athletics' Baker University today in its final regular season match.
Weekend football brings no upsets

Texas Tech 52, Missouri 38
LUBBOCK, Texas — Kliff Kingsbury has wanted a 500-yard game for a while.
Saturday night he got it, completing 49 of 70 passes for 510 yards and five touchdowns in a 52-38 victory over Missouri.
Kingsbury broke the Big 12 yardage record of 474 he set earlier this year and broke his school records for completions and attempts. He also became the 20th passer in Division I-A history to reach 10,000 career yards.
No.2 Oklahoma 49, No.9 Iowa St.3
MANHATTAN, Kan.— Both kickers felt confident. Now only one feels good.
The Oklahoma quarterback, who had taken a hit from an Iowa State defender, found it more amusing than painful.
That was about the only blemish on the performance of Hybl and the second-ranked Sooners, who delivered a brutal blow of reality to No. 9 Iowa State in beating the Cyclones 49-3 Saturday.
NORMAN, Okla. — Nate Hybl kept rubbing his red, swollen nose as he sat deep inside Memorial Stadium.
No.8 Texas 17, No.17 Kansas St.14
As the crowd chanted, "We hate you, we hate you," Texas kicker Dusty Mangum drilled a 27-yard field goal with 1:32 left Saturday night to give the
eighth-ranked Longhorns a 17-14 victory over No. 17 Kansas State.
With 7 seconds to go, Kansas State's Jared Brite lined up for a potential tying field goal from 36 yards out. But the kick was low, and Marcus Tubbs got a hand on it to preserve the win for Texas.
Oklahoma St. 24, Nebraska 21
STILLWATER, Okla. - While Nebraska is trying to recall when it last experienced such a bleak season, the surprised Oklahoma State Cowboys are thinking about a bowl game.
Adding to an already disappointing season, the Cornhuskers lost to Oklahoma State for the first time since 1961 as Josh Fields threw two touchdown passes and ran for another in a 24-21 victory on Saturday.
The win was no fluke, either. Nebraska's onceproud defense was no match for Oklahoma State's offense.
No. 23 Colorado 34, Baylor 0
BOULDER, Colo. — Chris Brown finished last season with a flourish, and he appears to have found that form again.
Brown ran for 167 yards and three first-half touchdowns before leaving in the third quarter with a sprained ankle, and No.23 Colorado dominated Baylor 34-0 on Saturday.
Brown, the nation's leading rusher, boosted his per-game average slightly to 164.9 yards as Colorado (5-2, 3-0 Big 12) won for the fourth straight time.

Yeah, I was at that football game, and people were jingling their keys during the kickoff. Don't they know that's what K-State does? That's the cardinal sin. You don't copy a school that sucks, and man, K-State does suck.

If the football team really wanted to make money, they'd pave the field and sell tickets to the drive-in.
It's nice to see that major league baseball in the playoffs have mimicked KU with the noonan sticks at games. Really appreciate that.
Isn't it just great sitting in the dorm room, enjoying a beer, watching Monday Night Football? God, I love college.

Hey, I just saw Drew Gooden on TV, and I've got one thing to say: freestyle.

Uh, hey, I'm at Target right now, and Nick Collison is over in the DVD section. Probably shopping for DVDs. Hehe.

Kansas player nominated to best punter watch list
Kansas junior Curtis Ansel has been added to the Ray Guy Award watch list for 2002 Punter of the Year. He was one of nine additions to the watch list last week and brought the total number of nominees to 46.
Ansel ranks eighth in the Big 12 and is 35th in the NCAA. He averages 41.6 yards per punt. He has booted a careerbest and Big 12 Conference record 83-yarder (at Baylor) and an 82-yarder (at UNLV) this season. The 83-yard punt ties as the second-longest in KU history with Mike Hubach's in 1979, while the 82-yard boot ties as the third-longest in school history with Dean Royal's in 1997. In addition, Ansel has 16 punts that have been down inside the 20 this season.
During the last week of this month, the Ray Guy Award committee will narrow the watch list to the top ten candidates.
The Ray Guy Award national voting members include sports writers, college football coaches, former punters and members designated by the Greater Augusta Sports Council.
