'Kick the Kansan' contest kicks Kansan's staffer's confidence
It was bound to happen. I had a bad — no, horrible week. I missed more picks last week than I had in the previous two combined. I wish I could say it was a tough week for everyone, but virtually every person who entered Kick the Kansan beat me like a dirty rug. Even my partner on the football beat, John Domoney, deserted me.
Domoney usually gives me a few free picks, but last week he chose to help his girlfriend Courtney Olson, Wichita junior. She finished 6-5, and I was 4-7. Thanks, Johnny.
Domoney might regret his decision after this weekend.
Olson is on the panel now,and it looks like it's going to cost Domoney.
"John will buy me dinner if I beat him," Olson said.
And if Domoney beats her?
He isn't take the money.
Domoney said he didn't mind paying for dinner, but he had no intention of losing to his girlfriend.
"If she beats me I'll consider resigning my position on the panel," he said.
Let's not do anything hasty,
buddy. Who am I going to copy off
if you quit?
Rest assured, I'm not ready to hang it up just yet. Even with my
dismal offering last week, my overall record is — drum roll, please — 40-23. That's 63 percent accuracy. Compare that to this week's winners' combined 62 percent (34-21.) and the fact that I did the math myself, and I'm feeling pretty good. Not to mention that I feel an 11-0 weekend coming on. It's never been done in the history of *Kick the Kansan*, but somebody has to be the first. And, hey, if I'm that lucky maybe I can convince Domoney to buy my dinner, too.

Buffs' cornerback injured
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado senior cornerback Lovell Houston could be facing his fifth shoulder surgery and possibly the end of his football career.
Houston, whose right arm has been in a sling the last few days, has an unstable shoulder, said Colorado Buffalohead head trainer Steve Willard. He said surgery may not be imminent, but Houston is headed in that direction.
"Genetically, his tissues are looser than yours and mine," Willard said. "For whatever reason, despite multiple surgeries he's having instability problems in his shoulders, particularly his right shoulder."
Houston has had reconstructive surgeries on both shoulders in the past. He has played in one game this season, against San Diego State, in which he recorded four tackles and a fumble recovery.
"I don't know if the doctors will let a guy play who's had that many shoulder surgeries," coach Gary Barnett said.
Houston's younger brother, Marcus Houston, is continuing to rehab his right knee. The sophomore running back won't play Saturday against Kansas, and no timetable has been set for his return.
Marcus, like his brother, has played in just one game this season, Aug. 31 against Colorado State.
