THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 13A
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 10).
Your quest this year is for wisdom, and it won't always be easy. Make sure to check what you learn in books against your own experience before deciding whether it's true. Don't give your heart too freely or your money, either.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8. You're full of lofty ideas, but you'll have trouble convincing a person who means a lot to you unless you're also practical. Show how this will make or save money.
raurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 5. Count up your pennies, nickels and dimes. Don't forget to pay yourself by hiding a little away. This is an excellent day for finding a good hiding place.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8. You're getting smarter, and soon it'll be easier to express your love. The bad news is that something you depend upon requires repair. It doesn't work all that well any longer.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5. Feel as if you're being asked to do too much for way too little? Splurge on a special treat for yourself. Take care of your own well-being.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
You're getting better at doing the calculations, and that could lead to a pay raise.
Take a refresher course to sharpen your skills and increase your status.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8. You've been bogged down in details but not without good reason. All those clues you've been collecting will soon start making sense. That'll be the fun part.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an 8. Careful deliberation may not be one of your strong points, but you can learn how to do it if you must. It's not a bad idea if you want to stretch your money.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
You're naturally sensitive to the feelings of others. You may notice that talent intensifying over the next few weeks, prompted by a flood of old memories.
Make a change — a change back — for the better.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7. You're always a stickler for telling the truth, now more than ever. You don't really care what might happen next, but take it into consideration.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 5. It's easier to gather data now than it will be in a couple of days, so don't just sit there. Call your friend who's in the know.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8. Pushing a little harder now can get you a lot further. A friend is there for you at just the right minute. Teamwork is your ace in the hole.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6. A task at home you thought was completed will have to be done again. Don't make it harder by resisting. Doing it quickly will make things much easier.

Yeah, the spirit squad wasn't even in Dallas yet, and the football team was already back in Kansas City. I think it's unfair.
I just want to let everybody know that the Yankees suck. Go Nomar.

I just saw Drew Gooden in a commercial for a basketball video game, and I was thinking how boring will that game be if he plays in it like he did at the end of last season?
I'm pretty sure John Madden just busted out the yard stick to show America how far a yard is. God I hate you.
I'd just like to say that it's four o'clock on Monday, and why did I just see Drew Gooden on a EA sports gameboy commercial? Oh god, what is the world coming to?

Within three years, Snyder had the Wildeats at 7-4 and 4-3 in the Big Eight Conference. He led them to the Coca-Cola Bowl in 1992, just the team's second postseason appearance, and then to eight straight seasons of nine or more victories.
Success brings better players, which partially explains the increase in transfer athletes, but the converse is true, too. In 1999, the year Kansas State went 11-1 and finished sixth in the Associated Press poll, the Wildcats had 23 players who had transferred from smaller colleges.
The state of Kansas is a hotbed for junior college football, with two teams in the Jayhawk Community College Conference currently ranked in the National Junior College Athletics Association poll.
Given the success Mangino saw firsthand in Manhattan, he knows how much transfers can help a team. It's not as if it's hard to find these players, either.
Butler County Community College is No. 6 with

Two of the top junior college running backs in the nation play in Kansas. Gerard Jackson, who was an NJCAA preseason All-American, is third in the nation with 146.5 yards per game for Dodge City Community College. He's scored five touchdowns in six games and averages 5.33 yards per carry. Brandon Jacobs, a second team All-American, leads Coffeyville CC with 120.8 yards per game and eight touchdowns in six games. Both backs have rushed for 200 or more yards twice this year.

4th quarter Greene now knew that everywhere on the field was four-down territory for his team. It showed on
the next drive as he turned the ball over in four quick plays.
Colorado responded with their bread and butter, Brown. He ran 43 yards for his third touchdown of the game. For all intensive purposes, the win was now officially out of reach for Kansas.

Why are you going to Late Night with Roy Williams?
Kansas had another four-and-out situation on their next possession, and Ballow continued to rub it in with the Colorado rushing attack, using Brown to punch in two more touchdown runs. Greene was able to respond with another 59-yard touchdown pass, this one to Gasaway, but it was not enough to overcome Brown's five-touchdown effort.

Senior defensive specialist Jennifer Kraft had five aces in the match, giving her 133 career aces. She is now one ace short of the Kansas all-time aces record, held by Julie Woodruff (1988-91).
"I know she's going to reach that goal and get the record," Michaels said of Kraft. "Her serve was really important to us tonight and she pulled through for us at key points."

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Kansas cornerbacks, safties hit low point against Baylor
By Jason King The Kansas City Star
Kansas coach Mark Mangino could berate his squad's defensive backs for giving up 119 passing yards in the waning minutes of Saturday's 35-32 loss at Baylor.
"It wasn't only that it happened right at the end," Mangino said. "We played like that in the secondary... the entire game."
But why stop there?
As poor as Kansas' cornerbacks and safeties have been this season, they definitely reached their low point against the hapless Bears. Baylor quarterback Aaron Karas looked like a Heisman candidate scorching KU's secondary for a career-high 359 passing yards.
"We just got beat," said Mangino, whose team will host Colorado at 1 p.m. Saturday. "We took our eyes off the receiver and looked at the quarterback. You can't do that."
CU quarterback Hodge poses challenge to Kansas secondary
By Rick Plumlee The Wichita Eagle
Say Colorado and you think Chris Brown, the Big 12's leading rusher.
But that shouldn't cause Kansas' woeful secondary to think it's off the hook when the Bufaloes come to town for Saturday afternoon's game. CU quarterback Robert Hodge is a master of the deep ball.
Just ask Kansas State. He threw three touchdown passes — two over 70 yards — in last weekend's 35-31 victory over the Wildcats.
That should be a real concern for KU's secondary. The Jayhawks couldn't stay with Baylor quarterback Alex Karas, who threw for a career-high 359 yards and two touchdowns in beating KU 35-31 last Saturday.
Eight of Baylor's passes went for 20 yards on more, including one Karas caught for a touchdown.
Whittemore leads Kansas rushers, unafraid to take hits
Lawrence Journal-World
Kansas University's junior quarterback is as dangerous a runner as he is a passer. The Fort
Bill Whittemore can do just about anything his coaches ask—except slide.
Scott Community College transfer has passed for 1,020 yards and is KU's leading rusher with 374 yards through six football games.
When the Nashville, Tenn., product does run, he's as likely to run over a defender as he is to slide or run out of bounds. One Baylor defender learned that the hard way Saturday in Waco, Texas, when KU's quarterback flattened him during the Jayhawks 35-32 loss.
"I've never enjoyed sliding," Whittemore said of the tactic many quarterbacks employ to avoid hits. "I'll probably have to learn pretty quick that I need to. Everybody keeps telling me that. That's never been my nature. I've always enjoyed going to get that extra yard."
Kansas struggles with receiving, can't hold onto the football
By Ric Anderson
The Topeka Capital-Journal
Speed is good. Leaping ability, too. Fearlessness in traffic? Undoubtedly a plus.
But as Kansas has learned through six games this season, the first requirement for being a good receiver is, well, to receive.
The Jayhawks struggled in that fundamental skill on Saturday at Baylor, where they muffed at least five throws before halftime in struggling to a 14-12 deficit after two quarters.
"We have to hold on to the ball," KU coach Mark Mangino said Tuesday. "We had too many drops in the first half. We have to do a good job of holding on to the football and we'll work on that."
