SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5B FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Mangino replied, "I don't respond to other players' comments." Several players, including quarterback Todd Reesing, were offered scholarships by both Kansas and Kansas State before ultimately choosing the Jayhawks. "Yeah, I don't know about that," wide receiver Dexton Fields said in response to Murphy's recruiting comment. "A lot of the guys on this team might have been recruited by K-State, and they made their choice, so I don't pay any attention to that." Murphy wasn't the only Kansas State player to speak out Monday. Center Zach Kendall said he thought Kansas State was the better team. "Heart," Kendall told the Lawrence Journal-World. "I feel like we have more heart." Fields laughed. "Anytime someone doubts you or says that they are going to do something against you, it's your job to take that as a challenge and stop them from doing that." Fields said. Freshman punt returner Daymond Patterson, who has already returned a punt for a touchdown, wouldn't make a similar guarantee for Saturday. He said that while the Wildcats were busy talking trash, the Jayhawks would be busy getting ready for Saturday's game. Edited by Scott R. Toland "We're going to let them talk in the media and we're just going to practice hard and hopefully prevent it on Saturday," Patterson said. "You just have to laugh about it because lots of people make guarantees, and sometimes they come through and sometimes they don't. We'll see." Rings around the Celtics ASSOCIATED PRESS Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers hags NBA commissioner David Stern as Rivers looks at the NBA championship trophy and rings during ceremonies to honor the Celtics' 7th NBA title, prior to the Celtics' season-opening basketball game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Boston on Tuesday. asked him questions. A lot of questions. "When I first met him, he was kind of annoying because he was asking me tons of questions." Witherspoon said. "It was cool because he wanted it so bad, so I answered his questions." BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) his last season with Kansas last year, soon came to realize that Juenemann was an ideal candidate to succeed him. Witherspoon, who played Witherspoon talked to Juenemann regularly and started to work out with him. Witherspoon said Juenemann was strong and talented enough to be "I told him. 'It's a good opportunity.' Witherspoon said. "But you have to make sure this is what you want. If you're looking for playing time, this is not for you." a Jayhawk. Keltner said Juenemann knew exactly what he wanted to be a Jayhawk. When Juenemann realized he had reached his goal, Keltner said he was overwhelmed with happiness. "When he talked to me and told me he made it, I think I might have heard tears," Keltner said. "I'm so happy for the kid." — Edited by Brenna Hawley RIVALRY (CONTINUED FROM 1B) wardrobe," he said. Not every student shares that sentiment, though. In fact, some even dare to wear Kansas State gear to class. “It's definitely confusing,” Rivera said. "I don't know why you'd be on KU campus wearing a K-State shirt. That's something that I don't really believe in, and I don't know why they would do it." Rivera said it had been a long time since he saw a Kansas State-clad student. That may have something to do with Kansas' recent success against the Manhattanites. In the past four years, the Jayhawks are 3-1 against the Wildcats. Last season, Kansas scored nine points in the final seven minutes, knocking off No. 24 Kansas State 30-24. That game propelled the Jayhawks to an eventual 7-1 conference record. This time they already have two defeats, but a victory would make them bowl-eligible. In its history, Kansas has never made it to a bowl game in consecutive seasons. That could be erased with a rivalry victory on Saturday, and that sounds just fine to senior linebacker Joe Mortensen. A native of Concord, Calif., Mortensen didn't appreciate this rivalry when he first arrived. He said it took him a year and some history lessons to understand what it really meant. "He goes to his hometown and gets hated on because he's a KU guy," Mortensen said. "It's a huge rivalry." The plight of senior offensive lineman Adrian Mayes also helped the process. Mayes and Mortensen are roommates, and they've traveled together to Mayes' home in Manhattan. Mangino said that no matter the outcome, each team earns only one victory or one loss. Still, that doesn't mean there's not something a little extra brought out of every player on the field or fan in the stands. "No matter what you did last week and no matter who you're playing next week, the fans and everybody look forward to this game," Mangino said. "More importantly, the players on both teams look forward to this game." The "Sunflower State Showdown" label puts a flowery veil on this vicious rivalry, but Mortensen opted to cut to the chase. "It's the battle of Kansas," he said. BEECHER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) The frustrations have been bad thus far, and there will be plenty more to come. Quarterbacks will have all day in the pocket, and corners will give wideouts colossal cushions. Kansas will concede a lot of points. In the immortal words of Dan Hawkins, "It's the Big 12?" And in the Big 12, just about everybody can score, and just about no one can stop that from — Edited by Lauren Keith do with constructing past Kansas defenses than many will ever realize. The biggest reason to expect improvement is, of course, that we're only half done with Bowen's first season on the job. At this point in his Jayhawk tenure, many were gripping about the Job Mark Mangino was doing. Patience paid off then, and it will now. And there's still every reason to believe that things will get better down the road. Bowen is widely recognized as one of college football's best recruiters — a skill that's especially important at Kansas, a place that traditionally hasn't been able to get a look from blue-chippers. Those close to the program also say Bowen had a lot more to happening. turn to elation. But it won't be easy. The Big 12 is home to the best offenses in all of college football. And for Clint Bowen to successfully formulate a game plan to defend against them, he can't be concerned with defending his job, as well.
