FRIDAY,OCTOBER4,2002 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5B Crouch considering return to pro football The Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. — Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch, who quit the St. Louis Rams three weeks ago, said yesterday he would consider returning to professional football if he could play quarterback. The Rams drafted the former Nebraska quarterback last spring as a wide receiver. "If I play again I'd definitely say it would be as a quarterback," Crouch said. "My whole life I've been a quarterback. I've molded myself that way." game and seeing no regularseason action. Crouch said his decision was based primarily on lingering injuries, not because he was turned into a wide receiver. Crouch, 23, said he had a serious thigh bruise and other nagging problems, including wear and tear on an ankle that will require surgery next week. "I need to get away from it a little bit to get my health back," he said. "It's going to be a goal of mine to get back in shape." Crouch said he had no timeline for a return to professional football, but he said it would only be after he was healthy. Columnist takes on a St. Louis trio SPORTS Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com I knew it. There is a conspiracy against me. A household of St. Louis transplants has been plotting against me. Two roommates, juniors Matt Wilson and Nathan Winters are on the panel today and a third Tom Dye, junior, is a "Kick the Kansan" alum. This must be the single greatest assemblage of football knowledge in the free world. Three people from the same city, from the same high school, living in the same house, all beat me. Can you believe it? I haven't checked these odds against those of say being struck by lightning, but I'm pretty sure you can all see the similarities. Wilson cleverly claimed his motives and his crew's were entirely innocent. "We all want to get the T-shirts," he said. T-shirts, my eye. These guys are out to get me. Don't worry sports fans, I'm forming an alliance of my own. I've teamed with Kansan football writer John Domoney for another week of choosing the right picks. I've also unveiled a secret weapon — a little game I like to call La Salle at Catholic. That's right, La Salle at Catholic. How many people even know where Catholic is? Try plugging that one into your selection "Most of all I go gut instinct, except when you guys throw in stuff like La Salle at Catholic."I tried looking it up on ESPN, but they didn't even have Catholic." Nathan Winters Junior formula, Nelly fans. Winters admitted he was having a little difficulty reacting to the weapon. said. "I tried looking it up on ESPN, but they didn't even have Catholic." Caught in the crossfire between sportswriters and Rams mourners is a pair of independent college football forecasters. Brent Fry, Lenexa junior, and Peter Gogol, Cranston, R.I., junior, both posted impressive 9-2 records last week. It's very possible that these two are innocent bystanders, but with records like theirs, I would never discount the possibility of the St. Louis Axis of Evil's influence. Edited by Andrew Vaupel Ah, everything is going according to plan. See page 6B for this week's football picks.
