Greene picks'Huskers, Gophers
Texas will not lose again this season; Ohio State will win
Nebraska vs. Kansas
I'm trying a little reverse psychology here. The last two weeks I have picked Kansas and have been shut down.
This week, I'm picking against the Jayhawks. Worst case scenario, I'm wrong and Kansas wins. That's not a problem with me if the Jayhawks beat Nebraska for the first time since 1968.

Greene's Pick: Nebraska
Navv vs. Notre Dame
I'll go with Dean Johnson's advice here: Navy's improved, but not that improved.
Greene's Pick : Notre Dame
Wisconsin vs. Minnesota

of the Kansan advertising staff who says I curse the Gophers. Here's to proving you wrong.
Michigan State vs. Ohio State
Michigan State showed a lot of fight in a tough loss to Michigan last week, but playing on the road at Ohio State against a Buckeye team on a mission could be a challenge too big to handle. As much as it hurts, I have to take Ohio State.
Greene's Pick: Ohio State

Girls, you can have Christian Moody. I get David Padgett because he can play basketball and he is hot, too.
Joey Berlin claims that he can guard Carmelo Anthony without fouling him. If he scores every time, then that that's not guarding him. I doubt that you could.

Thank God we beat the EA Bald Stars.
Hey Keith, if you want to give us a meaningful shout-out try coming to our games instead of just writing it in a column. What is up with that?
Two Kansas players nominated for awards
Juniors Wayne Simien and Keith Langford were named finalists for the Naismith College Basketball Player of the Year Award.
The Naismith Awards program is in it's 36th year and honors the outstanding college basketball players in the country. The finalists were selected by a vote of the Board of Selectors comprised of basketball coaches, journalists and basketball analysts.
Other Big 12 Conference players on the list include Texas Tech's Andre Emmett, Colorado's David Harrison, Texas's Brandon Mouton and Missouri's Ricky Paulding.
Simien and Langford are also nominated for the Wooden Award, another national player of the year award. Earlier in the week, they were both selected as first team All-Conference in the Big 12 media's preseason poll.
Simien said that he appreciated being considered one of the best players in the country by so many people.
"It's definitely an honor, especially missing the amount of games I did last year," he said. "Right now it's just preseason hype and hopefully I can carry it over to the postseason."

Swimming team looks for first victory at home
The Kansas swimming and diving team will attempt to capture its first home dual victory of the season today at 6 p.m. against Southwest Missouri state at the Robinson Center.
Last week, Kansas fell short to Missouri in Lawrence 153-147. Kansas had nine first-place finishes. Junior Amy Gruber led the team with four titles. Freshman Shelby Noonan won her first career diving title with a composite score of 244.41.
"We have to take each season one week at a time," freshman Lia Pogoli said. "We can't look back at the Missouri meet and look what we must do different. It's a new meet at a new time."
Last year, Kansas defeated Southwest Missouri State 78-35 in Lawrence. Junior Amy Gruber finished first in the 200-meter while senior Ashley Dower and junior Aly Colver went 1-2 in the 50-meter freestyle with times of 24.61 and 24.75, respectively. Dower also finished in first place in the 100-meter freestyle.
Coach Clark Campbell said this meet was an important stepping stone toward the team's biggest meet of the fall season, Nov. 21 to 23 in the Minnesota Invitational.
Senior Kristen Johnson won the 200-meter individual medley and the 200-meter breaststroke with times of 2:08 and 2:21.64.

Freshman runner earns weekly Big 12 honors
Freshman Benson Chesang earned All Big 12 Conference honors after finishing 11th at the Big 12 Cross Country Championships Oct. 31. He was the lone Jayhawk to earn postseason honors.
It's the Ravine, Kenya, runner's second Big 12 honor this year.
Chesang earned Big 12 Runner of the Week Honors Oct. 7 after finishing second at the OSU Cowboy Jamboree in Stillwater, Okla.
In years past, All Big 12 honors only went to the first nine finishers at the conference meet.
However, the league announced this year that All Big 12 recognition would be extended to the top 15 finishers.
In other post season recognitions, Colorado men's and women's coach Mark Wetmore was named Coach of the Year after both squads defended their Big 12 titles.
Wetmore has won every men's Coach of the Year honor and has claimed all but one women's coach of the year title in league history.
Chesang and the Jayhawks will compete Nov. 15 in Cedar Falls, Iowa, at the Midwest Regional Championships.
