Today's Birthday (Sept. 16). New confidence leads to new risks as you become bored with routines. You're bigger than you used to be, so it only makes sense. You need a new outfit, new rules, perhaps an entirely new game.

It was the second such award for Lima, who was named the MVP of the Hofstra tournament.
"Lima just knows how to play, she's a talented kid," Bechard said. "When we needed the big points to side out, we did and she was there."

just as fun as any other sport at KU. Take a look:
12:37 p.m. Wake up late, with terrible morning breath. Hurry to Horejsi. Excited, because volleyball is fun.
1:05 p.m. - With a pretzel in each hand and one in mouth, watch opening serve. Point Purdue. No one cheers, except for the hyperactive Purdue players. Booooooo.
1:03 p.m. - While Kansas' starting lineup is announced, the starters throw little blue volleyballs into the crowd. However, five of the six balls are thrown into the side opposite of where I'm sitting. Not cool.
like this:
BQHL — "Sup, Baby Bird!"
BABYJAY—"Sup dawg! Go Jayhawks!"
BOHL—"Word."
1:14 p.m. — Kansas goes up 15-9. The announcer says "Point, KU" into the mike, in case someone in the building is blind. The crowd repeats him, saying "Point, KU" and clapping, in case someone in the building is hard of hearing. I am neither.
1:38 p.m. — Lima records another dangerous kill. My trusty radar gun clocked that spike at 700 mph.
1:18 p.m. — During a time out, the catchy tune "One Week" by Bare Naked Ladies is played. Which reminds me, I love bare-naked ladies.
1:24 p.m. — Our heroes win the first game, knocking off the Boilermakers 30-19. Baby Jay dances with kids during the short intermission. The kids are better dancers.
1:53 p.m. — Kylie Thomas records a kill, bashing it off the head of a Boilermaker. Kansas wins game two, 30-27.
1:55 p.m. — T-Shirts are thrown into the crowd. I fail to get one, which means I have to
do laundry a day early.
1:57 p.m. — Quick thought: Where are all the good volleyball movies? You have fabulous sports flucks like Space Jam, Air Bud, and of course, Ladybugs, but the closest we've come to a decent volleyball flick was a scene in Top Gun. Did anyone else notice that Goose sucked at volleyball? OK, I'm getting way off topic here.
2:07 p.m. — Someone behind me makes a noise resembling a goat, Classic. I love it. Oh yeah,
and Kansas is winning 4-3 after Lima almost beheads a Purdue player.
2:17 p.m. — Kansas officials, apparently after counting everyone twice, announce the attendance at 417. Kansas football is expected to draw 100 times that later this evening, and they suck
I just don't get it.
2:25 p.m. — Lima, the tournament MVP, records a game-ending kill. Kansas wins the match, 3-0, and improves its record to 8-0. Chants of "undefeated" should echo through Horejsi, except they don't at all, because hardly anyone is here.

NFL Chiefs sign Gonzalez
to seven-year contract
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez has agreed to a seven-year deal worth more than $31 million, along with a $10 million signing bonus that is the most any NFL tight end has received.
The bonus, to be paid out over at least three years, is the most the team has given to any player.
Criticized for running against Felix Trinidad, De La Hoya stood and punched it out with Fernando Vargas, scoring a knockout win Saturday night that may have done as much for his career and reputation as winning the gold medal in the 1992 Olympics.
De La Hoya survived a barrage of right hands from a fighter who was younger and supposed to be stronger only to come back and dominate the middle rounds before finally stopping a bloodied and battered Vargas in the 11th round.
"I can confirm that this is the largest signing/option bonus in the history of the Kansas City Chiefs," general manager Carl Peterson said Friday. "I don't have a problem paying players who have been productive on and off the field."
Vargas had said he would rather die than lose, and there were some who questioned whether De La Hoya had the heart to match him.
The deal is voidable after five years, but Gonzalez said that he hopes to finish his NFL career in the same city where it began five years ago.
He earned $14 million, added the WBA 154-pound title to the WBC belt he already held, and established himself once again as boxing's premier non-heavyweight attraction.
BOXING De La Hoya knocks out Trinidad
LAS VEGAS — Just when it seemed Oscar De La Hoya might be nearing the end of his career, he came up with the fight of his life. In doing so, he also answered a lot of questions about his heart.
