THE MORNING BREW
Players can meddle with team's Karma
The word "karma" is tossed around a lot, usually to explain why something bad happened to someone who behaves like a jerk. But all Jayhawk fans witnessed karma firsthand last Saturday in the Jayhawks' victory over Northern Illinois.
On that last game-winning drive, the Northern Illinois defense was tired, and without any timeouts left, its players appeared to cramp up after every play, slowing the pace down and letting their teammates rest.
If Northern Illinois had any timeouts remaining, it would've been forced to take them while tending to their injured player. However, Northern Illinois did not have any timeouts left, therefore the clock stopped as the trainers walked the hurt player to the sidelines.
This gave the Husky defense a chance to regroup against the Jayhawk offense that was marching down the field to take the lead.
The jayhawks didn't complain about the Huskies' attempts to slow the game down. They ended up taking the lead with a fourth and goal touchdown that will be immortalized in the minds of the 48,000 fans there to witness it.
Going back to the FIFA Women's World Cup Quarterfinal match between the
Erika plodded around on the field, refusing to get up until the trainers brought out the stretcher and carried her off the field to a safe distance. Then a miracle happened, Erika's leg was magically healed as soon as she left the pitch. So with time about to expire, Erika thought she had wasted valuable seconds off the clock to get her team closer to victory.
United States and Brazil, the U.S. squad was down by a goal in overtime. Brazilian defender Erika went down late in the match after a tackle.
Then karma kicked in.
The referee gave Erika a yellow card for her delay and extended the game with enough stoppage time to make up for the time lost. The added time was enough for U.S. striker Abby Wambach to tie it up with a header and send the U.S. on to
win in penalty kicks.
Now, do I believe fans can truly have an effect on their team's karma? No, most likely not because there are probably enough fans on both sides to balance things out. Except for the Philadelphia Eagles, whose fans are famous for throwing snowballs and booing Santa Claus.
Players, however, can affect the team's karma. Remember the cautionary tale of Barry Bonds. He was one of the most talented players around, but the cloud of steroid controversy tarnishes his career. Bonds never won a World Series, but the Giants did just three seasons after he left.

CROSS COUNTRY
Big 12 names Stowe Runner of the Week
Only once in the history of the Kansas cross-country program has a Jawahry woman won-the award for Big 12 Runner of the Week. That was until Tuesday, when senior Rebeka Wesson was honored with the title.
The award was based on her first place finish in the Missouri Cross-Country Challenge. After finishing with a time of 17:43.93, Stowe said she thought it was important to start the season on a positive note. There is no doubt that she accomplished that in the first week of the season.
Not only did Stowe win the Big 12 Runner of the Week award, but she also ran the fastest 5K of her career, finished first in a collegiate race for the second time and helped the Jayhawks win as a team in Saturday's race.
Last season Stowe finished first among Kansas women in every race in which she competed and earned the All-Big 12 award.
