That Iowa State beat us, that necessarily doesn't mean that we are not good. The fact that they almost beat Florida State two weeks ago shows two things: either we really really suck, or Iowa State is really really for real. I don't know, you tell me.

Um, yeah, um, I really miss Drew Gooden.

Can I get my football ticket money back? I want to donate it to K-State. Thanks, bye.

One day a Jayhawk was taking a walk, and he came across a tiger from Mizzou. He said to the tiger "I hate you." The tiger started to cry like a little baby, so the Jayhawk killed him.

Yo coach, I just wanted to say the new uniforms look pretty good. However, for the next game, maybe you should consider getting red uniforms with yellow numbers on it, since that's what Zach and Bill feel comfortable throwing to. Just an idea. Bye coach.

Yo coach, it's the uniform guy again. Just thought I'd tell you that UNL also wears red uniforms, so make sure you pass that along to Zach and Bill not to throw to those guys next week. Thanks, bye.
Venus Williams shows model form against Seles
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Venus Williams reduced her U.S. Open quarterfinal against Monica Seles to something akin to an instructional video.
Want to see aces at more than 110 mph? Check. Some forehand winners? OK. Sure-handed volleying? There you go.
The two-time defending champion simply had too much in every department and beat Seis 6-2, 6-3 Wednesday night to join younger sister Serena in the semifinals, putting each one victory
Venus, trying to become the first woman to win three straight U.S. Opens since Chris Evert took four in a row from 1975-78 plays 10th-seeded Amelie Mauresmo next. Mauresmo came back to beat Jennifer Capriati 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-3.
The other women's semifinal will have top-seeded Serena — who lost to Venus in the 2001 Open final and beat her for the titles at the French Open and Wimbledon this year — against
Lindsay Davenport. They won Tuesday.
Defending men's champion Lleyton Hewitt and two-time Open winner Andre Agassi set up a semifinal showdown with victories Wednesday. Hewitt beat No. 20 Younes El Aynaou of Morocco 6-1, 7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-2, while Agassi fought back to defeat No. 32 Max Mirnyi of Belarus 6-7 (5), 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 at night to get the Open semis for the eighth time.
Agassi-Hewitt will feature the game's two best returners of serve and the last two baseliners to win
Wimbledon, Agassi in 1992. Hewitt in July. Hewitt has won their last three meetings, including two on hard courts this year.
"He's difficult for everybody. He's been No. 1 in the world now for almost a full year." Agassi said. "He makes you play a great match to beat him. I've just got to come out there and do it."
It's another intergenerational duel between a player in his 30s and one in his 20s, just like Pete Sampras vs. Andy Roddick in a quarterfinal Thursday.
At 32, Agassi is trying to become the oldest Open champion since 35-year-old Ken Rosewall in 1970.
First things first, though Agassi had to get past Mirnyi, known as The Beast for his 6-foot-5 frame and fierce serve, which produced 19 aces. The tiebreaker was the first set Agassi had dropped in the tournament.
"He can use his size to force you to do something special on any given point," Agassi said. "You don't think about losing or winning, a set up or a set down. You think about what do I need to do here to get my teeth deeper into this match."
Football

That love for the game, and sports in general, has been a part of Reid his whole life. Penny said. He was a standout athlete in football, basketball and track throughout his childhood. He won the gold medal in the pentathalon at the Amateur Athletic Association national championships when he was 11-years old. He competed nationally in basketball, and was Derby's leading scorer and rebounder.
"Even when he was doing individual events in track, you could see him get this expression on his face, and then he'd just go and do
it," his mother said.
He may have been a star athlete in Derby, but that doesn't mean he escapes freshman taunting from his teammates.
"A couple of the guys make me take up laundry," Reid told reporters while senior linebacker Leo Entienne laughed. Reid confirmed that Entienne was on his laundry list.
"Yeah Leo's one of those guys," Reid said. "Leo's a stinky fella."
Despite a little teasing, Reid loves being around the other players.
The camaraderie has always been Reid's favorite part of sports, his mother said.
"He's a good student, and good
kid," she said. "He really believes in the team concept. He just likes being with the guys."
She said even when Reid was a child she knew sports would be always be part of his life. Traits he displayed early in life are still making him successful today, she said.
"He's fearless," she said. "When he was four we got him a little bicycle with training wheels. He road it around for about a week with the wheels on and then he and his sister took them off. So he's always had good balance."

Iowa State did with McCarney, whose record after four years was 9-35.
Mark Mangino put up a good front after his first game, but I'm guessing he never dreamed it would be 45-3.
If the Jayhawks only could look as good as their new helmets.
SPORTS BRIEF
Broncos open season with tough opponent
Find it online at www.kansan.com
DENVER — The NFL's schedule-makers haven't done the Denver Broncos any favors the past few years.
Denver opened the 2000 season against the defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams, and the first game last year was against the New York Giants, the defending NFC champions.

The Broncos get St. Louis again this year, this time after the Rams lost the Super Bowl on a last-second field goal.
ing whether Iowa State is really that good or ...
"We're kind of one of those teams that people want to see play in the Super Bowl early," said Denver defensive end Trevor Pryce. "You get used to it after a while."
