MOVIE REVIEW// SEVEN DAYS IN UTOPIA
>Hollywood hits, indie flicks, and everything in between.
With the recent lack of sports films, "Seven Days in Utopia" is a refreshing change of pace. Any sports fan, young or old, can appreciate the heartfelt message within this movie.
"Seven Days in Utopia" is the story of young golfer, Luke Chisolm (played by Lucas Black), who's just turned professional. Luke quickly crumbles under the pressure of the high expectations that his father's set upon him during his very first game.
He tries to escape this life and crashes his car in the small Texas town, ironically named, Utopia, population 373. Here Luke meets Johnny Crawford, a wise rancher, who soon takes Luke under his wing. Johnny says that just seven days in this town will help him get out of his golfing rut. In the end, Luke must choose between his new life and the life he has always known.
Based on David L. Cook's book, "Seven Days in Utopia" emphasizes growth not only on
the golf course, but also in life. This sports film is great for anyone who enjoys sentimental coming of age stories and for any golf fanatics.

The Jayhawks scored a major victory against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a 28-25 upset last September. This season, however, Georgia Tech's offense is even more dangerous than ever.
"decade of dominance" is one of the bigger fallacies of my lifetime. That dominance included a Fiesta Bowl win and a single Big 12 championship, but conference foes Oklahoma and Nebraska won a combined four national championships while Kansas State was apparently dominating them. Wildcat coach Bill Snyder is good, but he hasn't won a bowl game since 2002, so let's not pretend Kansas State football is bringing anything to the table in regards to conference realignment. And save the Kansas football jokes, because the Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago and a blue blood basketball program and top five rivalry trump the other Kansas school.
So if the Oklahoma schools apply for admission and are accepted to the Pac-12, Kansas and Missouri would be making mistakes if they weren't asking to be next. If nothing else, fans and writers alike could take winter trips to Tempe and Santa Monica instead of Syracuse and Cincinnati.

we gave them the yen mating them even more dangerous than last year's team that was upset by the layhawks.
"He's special. He was a good player last year and we had to kind of hold on to our britches just to keep containing," Defensive Coordinator Vic Shealy said. "He got behind our safeties last year for a big play."
The Yellow Jackets still run the triple option offense, but have been hitting big plays through the air with junior receiver Stephen Hill.

Hill leads the Yellow jackets receivers with 307 yards and three touchdowns, but even more impressive is his 43.9 average yards per catch.
"It's more dangerous when they have more than just the run game coming at you. We have to prepare for everything so I think we'll be OK," Keeston Terry, frehsman receiver, said.
Hill is the lone offensive leader from the 2010 Yellow Jackets to return, after quarterback Joshua
Washington is primarily the passing quarterback, throwing for 473 yards, but Days is the leading rusher for the Yellow Jackets, with 29 carries and 146 yards.
hes never missed a beat. Their rushing attack ranks third in the nation, averaging 339.5 yards per game, and their passing offense ranks 23rd, averaging 289.5 yards per game.

"Guys have to show up and make plays." Bradley McDougald, junior safety, said. "If you're the quarterback player, then you have to be able to tackle him, because if he breaks your tackle, he's going to be able to run for another four or five yards and be able to pick up the first down. Guys are definitely going to have to make plays in the open field."
Last week, the Jayhawks struggled to defend the pass, allowing Chandler Harnish to accumulate 315 yards through the air. Georgia Tech's option offense relies heavily on the run, which could tip the scales in favor of the
Jayhawks' defense that has been tough against opposing tailbacks, allowing Northern Illinois tailbacks only 58 yards last week.
"That is the whole crutch of

handling the option is that you have to be assignment oriented," Shealy said. "I think when you look at assignments, by nature it slows you down a little bit, and
we want guys playing free and fast and canceling gaps and pushing the ball to the sideline"
