SCENE AND HEARD // NEST ON NINTH, OREAD HOTEL
The Nest on Ninth, a large wide-open terrace outside the ninth floor of the hotel, is one of the Oread's top attractions. Couples, sightselers and other hotel guests make the trip across campus to the hotel, not just for the restaurants and underground nightclub, but also for the peace, serenity and the breathtaking view atop the hotel, which is named after Mount Oread.
At the north gate of the University of Kansas, students and Lawrence residents gaze at the large limestone structure as just another hotel. But the view from the top of the Oread Hotel is a sight unlike any other on campus.
Two small bars serve the guests who make the trip up the nine floors to the upper terrace. Guests can choose from an assortment of beers, wines and cocktails, as well as order appetizers from the Bird Dog restaurant on the main floor. The Nest on Ninth also provides live acoustic music from different musicians and is open daily, weather permitting.
"We've never had this opportunity in Lawrence to see views like this before," says Patti McCormick, director of media and special events for the Oread.
"It's also a game-day magnet," McCormick says. "Just watching the crowds coming to and from the stadium is a lot of fun."
The terrace wraps around the southern top half of the hotel and guests are treated with a view of Lawrence they can't see anywhere else in town. Whether students want a bird's eye view of campus, Memorial Stadium or just want to watch the sunset, the Nest is great for any occasion.

Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling.
I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players.
I'm urging you to run in.
In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R Block hire hundreds of part-time employees to lighten the heavy load pushed upon them in tax season. It makes sense. I'm no math major, but the number of incoming freshmen this time of year — in every sport, not just football and basketball — is a pretty significant number. And if I'm not mistaken, most high schools graduate around the same time of the year. Why not hire a truckload of extra help in the summer so guys like Justin Hunter and the Kansas duo can get an answer before they turn 30?
I'm arguing for a ruling.
Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it can't be much worse.
remaining on the game clock and the game on the line. On third and six from their own 30-yard line, Texas Tech stunned everyone — including the Kansas defense — by running a draw play to their running back Taurean Henderson.
Henderson ran up the middle and didn't stop until he reached the end zone for a 70-yard go-ahead touchdown run. Texas Tech took a 31-30 lead with which they would eventually win.

The loss was an epic collapse and an embarrassment to the program. The Jayhawks have not been able to shake the loss against Texas Tech, as they've gone on to lose four consecutive games to the Red Raiders.
The losses haven't been ordinary, either. Kansas has allowed 30 points or more in

pact on this ball game." Gill said. "We're looking at their team and what they're doing in 2011 and we're looking at what we're doing here in 2011."
What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the jayhawks.
Texas Tech's offensive numbers, while not quite what they used to be, are still very daunting, as the Red Raiders average 523.3 yards of offense per game.
Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior
The numbers really appear to be omineous when taking a glance at what the Kansas defense has done in 2011, ranking last in the nation by allowing an average of 550 yards per game.
So when the Jayhawks take the field Saturday against Texas Tech, the odds will be against them to break the four-game losing skid. To overcome those odds, they'll have to have a defensive game plan that has not yet been seen in the previous matchups against the Red Raiders.
"You've got to be able to pressure the quarterback to get him out of rhythm," Shealy said. "In three ball games, they've had 21 passes for over 20 yards. You've got to limit that big play, and no one's done it. Hopefully we can do it."

Facing a threatening offense, Kansas will need a new defensive strategy to beat Texas Tech.
The Jayhawks have lost the last four games against the Red Raiders.
