FANTASY FOOTBALL
Bye week brings alternative players to the front line

Are you so unlucky that every player on your fantasy roster is in his bye week? Well, I can't replace everyone for you, but here are a few guys that should be available to help your fantasy squad.
JEFF GARCIA, QB, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
With the injury to starter Brian Griese, Garcia will reclaim his role this weekend. Tampa Bay is taking on a tough Carolina team, so Garcia should be able to exploit his offensive weapons for a big game. If San Diego quarterback Philip
Rivers can throw for 217 yards and three touchdowns on the Panthers, Garcia should have similar or better success and be an excellent replacement starter on your team.
DEUCE MCALLISTER, RB,
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
McAllister is the Saints' workhorse back. He may have disappeared against Minnesota on Monday, but so did teammate Reggie Bush because Minnesota has one of the top run defenses. Oakland is worse off against stopping the run, so look for McAllister to have a game similar to a couple weeks ago against San Francisco. Quarterback Drew Brees will continue to dominate in the passing game, but McAllister should put up solid numbers and provide a balanced offensive attack.
BRANDON STOKLEY, WR,
DENVER BRONCOS
Remember when Stokley was the solid third option at receiver for the Colts? Well, his time may come again. With teammate Eddie Royal injured, Stokley will most likely be called up to start on Sunday. Stokley has caught 13 passes over the last two games and is facing a Jacksonville defense that is nowhere near the top of the league in pass defense. Stokley should be able to fill in nicely if you have
holes at wide receiver.
VISANTHE SHIANCOE,
TE, MINNESOTA VIKINGS
reception on the halftack pass. The Vikings may not need to resort to as much trickery, but watch out for Shiancoe to have a big game.
SHINCHEE AND WINKINS
Shiancoe and the Vikings will take on one of the worst secondaries in the league in the Detroit Lions. Quarterback Gus Frerotte proved he can air the ball out in route to the comeback victory on Monday night, and Shiancoe got in on the action with a touchdown
PREDICTION SURE TO GO WRONG
On account of they all have so far, I am changing this section in hopes of one of two things happening: A) I don't look as bad or B) all these predictions actually turn out
right. Now, on to the prediction. The Texans will get their first victory of the season against a Miami team that has won at New England, and just beat a tough San Diego team. Despite that, running back Steve Slaton and quarterback Matt Schaub will have big games, much like they did against Jacksonville, but will have that extra edge to win by playing at home
SWIMMING & DIVING
Team uses 'quiz' to prepare

Coach Clark Campbell compared all the swim meets before the championship season to how students use a quiz in class.
The quizzes prepare students for the final exam and give an idea of where they stand in the class. So the intrasquad meet today for the women's swimming and diving team is the first quiz in Campbell's mind.
"It gives us an idea of where we are currently from a fitness point, technical point and skill point," Campbell said. "We're making sure we have all of those things lined up."
In the past, Campbell used intrasquad as an opportunity to gather times for each of the swimmers. Traditionally, it was a way to get all of the swimmers used to being a team, because it was a lowkey, non-threatening race opportunity before the real meets start.
This season is unique in that the intrasqua performances will set up the travel squad for the Arizona trip next week. A trip that includes a duel against a top-15 program in Arizona State and a duel against Northern Arizona. Campbell and the Jayhawks will take a squad of 20 to Arizona: 17 swimmers, three divers.
"I feel that the intensity and the level of performance this year, because of the strings attached to it, will be much higher than in years past," Campbell said.
The coaches look at this meet to be a first step in becoming a much more competitive program and are embracing the idea that the meet is about performance and excellence.

The team will be split into Crimson and Blue squads for the meet. Campbell put the athletes into events he thought gave them the best shot of making the travel team to Arizona.
"It's interesting to put people in competitive situations and this year is a little different with the hinging travel trip based on your performance," Campbell said. "It's good to put athletes in those states of pressure to see how they react."
"What we try to do is get it to where it's the closest, tightest meet possible and it comes down to the last relay." Campbell said.
The layhawks begins the competitive season with the intrasquad meet tonight at 4 p.m. in Robinson Natatorium.
