Big games rule in Kick the Kansas
sports commentary
Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com
Iowa is coming off of a bewildering loss to Michigan State last weekend, and now the other Michigan squad is ready to pay a visit to Iowa City. While tailback Fred Russell is a stud, quarterback Nathan Chandler has been proven to be a fluke for the Hawkeyes. Michigan's offense is still a little peeved after losing at Oregon two weeks ago. The Wolverines also want revenge on Iowa for an embarrassing loss in Ann Arbor last season. I've got to go with my boys here. Greene's Pick: Michigan
Michigan vs. Iowa
This is an interesting matchup because it is between two of the nation's top offenses, but both have been struggling. However, I like USC pulling out of the slump
USC vs. Arizona State
first with a more experienced team. Arizona State's struggles will continue. Greene's Pick: USC
It has been announced that quarterback Ell Roberson will start for Kansas State, but it doesn't matter because the Wildcats are putting their inexperienced defense against Texas' high-powered offense. Both teams have one loss they never expected, but I can respect Texas' loss a little more to ninth-ranked Arkansas than Kansas State's embarrassing defeat at the hands of Marshall. Texas will light up Kansas State's young secondary. Greene's Pick: Texas
Kansas State vs. Texas
Alabama vs. Georgia
Once again, two teams coming off of losses, but Georgia will not lose one in a row, especially when the game is being played between the Hedges in Athens. Greene's Pick: Georgia
Tennessee could be upset-prone heading into a dangerous game at Auburn. However, tailback Cedric Houston has been
Tennessee vs. Auburn
hot lately, and Auburn's overhyped defense won't put the grips on him all day. Greene's Pick: Tennessee
Washington vs. UCLA
Everyone needs to beware of the Huskies. After a humiliating opening day loss at Ohio State, Washington has been putting a licking on everyone. For a UCLA team who cannot score points, this will be an embarrassing loss as the combination of Cody Pickett to Reggie Williams will have a field day. Greene's Pick: Washington
Mississippi vs. Florida
If you can consider this an upset, then this will be just that. This is a down year for Florida and they are going to fall to Mississippi for the second straight year. Eli Manning's Rebels put up 45 points in a loss to Texas Tech last weekend, but they will destroy the Gators' young defense and make those calls for Florida coach Ron Zook's firing even louder down in the swamp. Greene's Pick: Mississippi
Texas A&M v. Texas Tech
A&M is pretty pitiful this year, and
their
Texas A&M vs. Texas Tech
while B.J. Symons will not thru for 661 yards again, he'll have a heck of afternoon. Greene's Pick Teach Tech
Wisconsin vs. Penn State
Illinois vs. Purdue
As long as quarterback Zack Mills isn't playing, the Nittany Lions have no chance—not even at home. Greene's Pick: Wisconsin
N.C. State vs. Georgia Tech
I hate Illinois, but even I feel bad for Illini fans for having to watch their excuse for an offense. Purdue will score at will. Greene's Pick: Purdue
North Carolina State is on a mission after losing two early games. The offense has finally hit its stride, and is putting up huge numbers on the scoreboard. Georgia Tech is in for a long afternoon. Greene's Pick N.C. State
Marist vs. Sacred Heart
While it's hard to pick against Marist's Gored Foxes, Sacred Heart is a sentimental favorite. Greene's Pick: Sacred Heart

The stakes are much higher for the Kansas men's and women's cross country teams this weekend when they compete at the OSU Cowboy Jamboree in Stillwater, Okla.
This will be the first time this season the Jayhawks race against Big 12 Conference rivals Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech. Kansas will also run against Kansas State, a team it has already raced this season.
"This is definitely the biggest meet of the season to this point," senior Brian Raggett said. "It gives us a chance to match up against a lot of teams we'll see come the conference and regional meets."
Not only will the team be getting a first look at conference competition, it will also get to run on the course it will run at the Midwest Regional Championships.
Junior Chris Jones said the course was challenging yet fast. Jones was the highest placing Jayhawk last year, finishing 12th.
"It's pretty flat, but there are some steep hills," Jones said. "Running on it early on in the season will give us a mental advantage on any regional teams that aren't there."
The mental aspect could be a factor for underclassmen who haven't raced in a meet of this magnitude.
"I'm excited to see some real college competition," freshman Beth Eisenmenger said. "But I'm still going to be nervous though."
Assistant coach Doug Clark said the two previous meets the
Jayhawks competed in did not mean much in comparison to this weekends contest.
"Those meets had no bearing on at-large bids for qualifying for nationals," he said. "This is a great meet to go to in order to gauge yourself against the best teams in the country."
Arkansas, a perennial national title contender and returning team champion, will be amongst the competitors. Results will be available on Oklahoma State's Web site, www.okstate.com.
