THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Recalling memorable events from 2008
Tyrel Reed reflects on heartbreaking losses to Kansas State, Texas and Oklahoma State and an important team meeting
"official" about this meeting. It was just sort of like, "Hey, we're going to Henry T's," and everybody showed up.
In today's excerpt, Tyrel talks about his freshman year, the march to the 2008 Final Four and a players-only meeting that changed a season and lifting the "Final Four Monkey" off his coach's back.
Our first big road test that year was at Southern Cal, which had O.J. Mayo, who was one of the top
I imagine the other people in the restaurant were pretty curious about all this. Because we all have different schedules, it's pretty rare to see the entire basketball team in the same place at the same time
16. Which put us in the Elite Eight, where we had lost the year before, against Davidson, who was everybody's Cinderella story.
As much as you try to ignore everything, there are certain facts that people just won't let you forget. We were aware that all of coach Self's best tournament runs had ended in the Elite Eight. It had

QUESTION:
My boyfriend recently told me he has a foot fetish and wants me to give him a "foot job." What is a foot job? Do you have any tips on how to give one?
MICHELLE ANSWERS:
Don't be alarmed by your boyfriend's suggestion. I applaud him for communicating his fantasies and desires and suggest you do the same. Encouraging communication and disclosure will aid in the development of a healthy and satisfying sexual relationship.
A foot job is intended to bring a man to climax using just your feet. In preparation for the foot job, invest in a professional pedicure, nylon stockings, and a pair of sexy stilettos. Make the look and feel of your feet as erotic as possible.
Begin the seduction with visual stimulation. As you face each other on the bed, you sitting up and your boyfriend either sitting or lying down, allow your boyfriend to caress and kiss your stockings and stilettos. After an initial feel,
he may want to remove your stiletto, massage, caress, or lick your feet. In addition, he could even go as far as using the shoe as a tool for masturbation.
At some point, have him slowly remove your stockings, exposing your bare feet. Your boyfriend might want to lick your feet and suck your toes. Following the oral act, either you or your boyfriend should apply lubrication to your feet and his penis. Lotion, baby oil, massage oil, or non oil-based lubricants can be used. However, if you are using a condom, never use oil-based lubricants, as they corrode latex.
Place the balls and heels of your feet together, leaving the space between your arches open. Insert and stroke his penis in the space between your arches. If you have trouble keeping your feet firmly together, have him hold your feet and maneuver the action. You might also change things up by placing the tip of his penis in between your big toe and second toe and stroke with one heel, while lightly caressing his scrotum with the other. To make things even
more spicy, use the stockings to blindfold him and tie his hands together. After he climaxes, make the clean-up part of the erotic fantasy as well by allowing him to wash your feet.
Incorporating fetish into your sex play is a great way to keep things exciting in the bedroom. Have fun sharing and exploring everything that turns you and your partner on.

5 QUESTIONS // RODERICK WORLD HARRIS & STEPHEN HICKS
> Two people. Five questions. See how they stack up.
TAYLOR LEWIS
RODERICK WORLD HARRIS > Roderick is a rapper and actor from Lawrence.
It would probably be played by me because I'm an actor too. 50 Cent played 50 Cent, Eminem played Eminem, so Roderick would play Roderick.
I want to sell out American Airlines Center in Dallas for a concert, if Jay-Z can sell out Madison Square Garden, I want to sell out the American Airlines Center.
If your life were a movie, who would play you?
It was in seventh grade at the Boys & Girls Club. I had eaten two big pickles and I had to use the bathroom, but they wouldn't let me go. I accidentally pooped on myself. My coach was there, and he made me clean everything up. It was a nasty moment in my life.
I'd have a house everywhere. I would just live in the world. After all, my name is Roderick "World" Harris. If I wanted to wake up in the morning and go to Africa, I'd wake up in the morning and go to Africa.
Skinny jeans. I don't understand grown men wearing skinny jeans.
That blows my mind. I tried them on, and they didn't fit.
STEPHEN HICKS
> Stephen is a freshmen from Houston majoring in aerospace engineering.
What's the one thing you want to accomplish before you die?
Daniel Craig because I'd want to be him. He's a total badass as James Bond, and James Bond is my hero.
What's your most embarrassing moment?
I would love to sail around the world. I sail boats as a hobby, so to be able to go around the world would be amazing. I'd like to take a year off of work and just travel around the entire world at my leisure with friends.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
In the doorways at my high school there were double doors connected by a pole. I was talking to this girl I liked and I was looking at her instead of forward. I ran straight into the divider and hit my head. It hurt bad, and I was really embarrassed. She got a laugh out of it.
What's one fashion trend that you just don't understand?
I'd live in Vancouver, British Columbia because it is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. On one end of the city is a big harbor for shipping, and on the other end are mountains. It's cool to look one way and see a mountain range, and then look the other way and see the ocean.
Nike running shorts. Everyone wears them, and I don't see why.
for us, especially Darnell. He had been through a lot of tragedies already in his life, and his cousin had been killed earlier in the week. Sherron was hurt too, and didn't play much (11 minutes).
That loss shook us up a little bit. We realized we weren't invincible, and one of the outcomes was the realization some things needed to be said, some things needed to be heard and we needed to sort it all out as a team. The manifestation of this was that some guys on the team — I can't remember who — decided we ought to go to Henry T's for dinner as a team, an event which I am now aware has taken on something of a legendary quality. I assume this is at least partially because nobody outside the队 knows exactly what happened there, except that we never lost again that season.
So here's the story: Henry T's is a sports bar known for its wings and burgers. It has one extra large booth in one of the corners, which suited us fine. There was nothing
Kansas got up by 24 in the second half and won 88-74.
The NCAA Tournament is a totally different animal from the regular season. You get funky game times; you don't know who you're going to play. It's weird. The stands are often half full and even the half that is there is a mix of a few different teams' fans.
We had one more chance for a revenge game that year, and it came in the Big 12 championship game against Texas. The memorable thing about that game was how well both teams played. It was almost surreal to watch. If you're a basketball fan, that had to be fun to watch because of the pure skill and talent on display. That's one of the better halves of basketball that I've witnessed.
bigger target for our fans than he already was (which was pretty big).
We played Portland State in the first round. Then we had a nice game against UNLV and whipped Villanova pretty hard in the Sweet
overtaking
him at that time. I can only ima- inge coaching in college basketball for so long and coming so close; You're so defined by that last game in college. I think we need to be held accountable for losing in the NCAA Tournament, but we try not to let it define us as a team. Things happen. It's tough when people say we had a bad season. You wish it wouldn't be that way, that you went 35-3 but didn't have a good year. I think at a lot of places that would be a pretty good year.
The Davidson win was really a pressure release in a lot of ways. I felt like once we got to the Final Four, there was a sense of calmness.
