Etienne eager to begin new season on field
By Rick Plumlee
The Wichita Eagle
Kansas' Leo Etienne isn't one to enjoy playing a lot of mind games.
But that's about all the senior outside linebacker could do last
spring while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. No tackling, no contact of any kind.
That was then, of course. His shoulder has fully recovered from November's arthroscopic surgery.
His mind and body are more than ready for KU to open its season Saturday at Iowa State.
"I went through every non-contact drill," Etienne said, "but that was it. I went through a lot of mental reps."
"I'm not just hungry for a game."
For Etienne, that was like taking a buldozer and using it to sweep the sidewalk.
If Mark Mangino was at all uncomfortable about his first game as Kansas' head coach coming against Iowa State and all-world quarterback Seneca Wallace, imagine how he feels now.
Kansas to face tough Iowa State in opener
Etienne said. "I'm starving."
By Eric Petersen
Ames Tribune
The Cyclones were one yard short Saturday from an opportunity to upset third-ranked Florida State.
"You could see a little bit when Florida State got up on them they just thought they were going to walk away with it," Mangino said.
"That's a mistake when you are dealing with Iowa State. They'll fight you for four quarters.
Twice they fell behind by 24 points and were on the verge of being knocked out.
"It's just a shame it didn't end up in Iowa State's favor."
Twice they picked themselves up from the canvas to give the Seminoles all they could handle before falling. 38-31.
Tickets CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9A
ball games regardless of Mangino.
"I go for the atmosphere and the fun," Rau said.
Grant Jones, Prairie Village senior, has attended every game for the past 15 years. His family
contributes to the Williams Educational Fund and owns season tickets.
Jones attributes the increase in ticket sales to tailgating, and Mangino's closed practices which he believes sparks public interest in the team.
"I think there's a lot of curiosity brewing in Lawrence," Jones said.
More than 500 recent graduates bought season tickets, which Johnson said is a slight increase from last year. The recent graduate group consists of those who graduated between 1998 and 2002.
Even though the 15 lots surrounding Memorial Stadium have sold out of parking spots, plenty of parking will be available. Lots 50 at Lindley Annex, 36 at Green Hall and 39 at Haworth Hall, on the south side of campus, will be open to toll parking for $5 per space. There are also 800 spots available at the Mississippi Street garage.

Nebraska's Ricketts gains from challenge
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — When Pat Ricketts was looking at colleges the choice came down to accepting a scholarship offer or a challenge.
The Nebraska defensive back went with the challenge and now he has the scholarship to go with it.
"I felt coming to Nebraska was the best thing. It was kind of like I could try to prove that I could play at the top level," said Ricketts, who walked on at Nebraska in 1999 and is a starter three years later.
Ricketts was named the Big 12 defensive player of the week for his performance in Saturday's 48-10 victory over Arizona State. He had three tackles and broke up three passes in just his third career start.
Ricketts got the nod Saturday over Lornell McPherson, who is a co-No. 1 at left cornerback. He was named Monday as the league's top defender after the Cornhuskers held the Sun Devils
to 258 yards and had four sacks.
"I would like to thank the defensive line and the linebackers for that honor because they made it easy to be a corner out there on Saturday." Ricketts said of the Huskers' pressure up front.
Rickettis grew up in Omaha and was a high school teammate of fellow Huskers Judd Davies and Mike McLaughlin at Millard North. While Davies and McLaughlin received scholarship offers from Nebraska, Ricketts said his only invitations were coming from New Mexico State and the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y.
"Those are two great schools," Ricketts said. "Any time you're going to get your school paid for, compared to coming in and walking on, it's a huge decision."
Ricketts decided to try his luck at Nebraska. He sat out 1999 as a redshirt, although he was on the traveling squad for the season opener at Iowa. He backed up Keyuo Craver in 2000 and played in 10 of 11 games, making 18 tackles and breaking up a pass.
Colorado linebacker won't let injured wrist keep him out of game
The Associated Press
DENVER — Wearing a cast on his left wrist, Sean Tufts shrugged it off as merely a flesh wound.
The Colorado linebacker vowed it would take far more than an injured wrist to keep him out of Saturday's showdown with instate rival Colorado State.
"I twisted it in practice." Tufts said. "The cast is keeping it healthy right now."
Tufts, a graduate of Cherry Creek High School in suburban Denver, is fully aware of the importance of this rivalry, which resumed on a full-time basis in 1995 and which intensified after Colorado State won in 1999 and 2000.
Prior to that, Colorado had won eight straight meetings and 17 of 20 dating back to 1950.
"I would never say it's a good thing to lose," said Tufts, a junior whose first encounter with the Rams was a 28-24 loss in 2000.
When the perennial underdog wins, however, it makes for a better series.
"It gets us more focused," Tufts admitted. "It's not a rivalry if one team loses and the other team wins all the time. That's not very exciting."
Colorado routed the Rams 41-14 last year, and Tufts is eager to contribute to a repeat performance. Otherwise, it's a year of enduring insults and relentless razzing from CSU fans.
"A couple of my friends go up there and some of my friends are on the team," he said. "That's something very real to me, because if we lose to CSU like we did two years ago, that's all I hear about in the off-season. It gets old after a while."
To get the job done, the No.7 Buffaloes know they'll have to be stouter defensively than they were in their last three games of last season, when they surrendered 36, 37 and 38 points.
We know you're not stupid.
