Beck not discouraged by 'Free for all' jokes
By Jason King The Kansas City Star
There's this section in the Kansas student newspaper titled "Free For All," a place where anonymous callers can have their opinions printed verbatim.
Earlier this week, someone
threw a haymaker at Kansas' highly touted place-kicker.
"Hey Johnny Beck," the quote read, "if you're gonna have 'Big Time Leg' on your license plate, then you should probably be able to make an extra point."
Beck — who has a personalized license plate on his Isuzi Trooper that reads 'BIGXLEG' — said he noticed the barb. But he vows the chiding he's received from missing two extrapoints in the last two games isn't becoming a distraction.
"Hey, it's true," Beck, a Piper graduate, said of the newspaper comment. "It's no big deal. I joked about it all day. If I had a different

Mangino's post-game dissection of his team. "The way he responded, we felt the same way. It'd be bad if coach came in there and said,'Oh, you know, we just got outplayed and this team was better than us.' Because they weren't."

Thus far in the Tulsa football season Golden Hurricane fans have not have much to cheer
about. After dropping a game to Baylor, a team who has never won a game in their own conference, I am worried that it may be a while before we have anything to cheer about again.
But I am not giving up just yet. I really hate the Jayhawks.
During the first half of football the Hurricanes played this year, their defense managed to stile a team with more offensive weapons than anyone else on the schedule. If TU can find a way to rekindle that kind of intensity, focus and form for one complete football game, this season is far from lost.

Meghan Miller, sophomore goalkeeper for the Kansas soccer team, was named the Southwestern Bell Company Big 12 Defensive Player of the week Tuesday.
She earned the honor after recording shutouts against Evansville and Oakland, allowing Kansas to win the ProRehab Aces Soccer Classic in Evansville, Ind
Miller racked up 11 saves and was named Defensive MVP of the tournament.
Miller said she was honored by the recognition,but that her focus was on the team's upcoming games.
"It's nice to get recognized," she said. "But if I'm only as good as my last game, it doesn't mean much. I've got to play like that every game."
Coach Mark Francis said he was impressed with Miller's play, but that he saw the recognition as a sign of his whole defense playing well.
