Mangino wasn't recklessly hurting Bill Whittimore by keeping him in the game against UNLV. He was trying to make an example for our team and show that we are all men and we are going to play until the very end. So thanks a lot Joey Berlin.
We definitely have the hottest soccer girls.
Greene looks to break into lead
I'll take Langford and Hawkins in NCAA football 2004 any time. Bring it on.
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Kansas vs. Wyoming
Kansas can run the ball for big yardage, and Wyoming gets its offense through the air. These two teams are pretty evenly matched, but with the weather forecasted to be wet and cold come game time, you have to go with the team who can pound the ball on the ground. Greene's Pick: Kansas
Notre Dame vs. Michigan
The day I pick Notre Dame to beat my Wolverines is the day that Justin Guarini has talent. Greene's Pick: Michigan
North Carolina State vs. Ohio State
As hard as it is for me to pick Ohio State, North Carolina State let me down big time last week when they were shut down by Wake Forest. If sophomore tailback T.A. McClendon isn't play-
img, North Carolina State has an ice cube's chance in an oven on the road against the Buckeyes. Greene's Pick: Ohio State
Georgia Tech vs. Florida State
Throughout history, Georgia Tech has always had the ability to pull off the big upset. However, this year's Tech squad is not nearly what it has been in recent seasons, and the game is in Talahassee. The Yellow Jackets don't stand a chance. Greene's Pick: Florida State
Hawaii is talented, don't get me wrong, and quarterback Timmy Chang will be able to put some points on the board against the Trojans. If the game was in Honolulu, I might pick the upset, but USC will not lose a nonconference game in Los Angeles. Plus, Hawai's corners cannot stop the nation's top wide receiver corps at USC. Greene's Pick: USC
UMass vs. K-State
Another tough non-Division I contest for Kansas State. The question is not whether it'll win, but instead whether it can avoid losing even more of their starters to injury. Greene's Pick: Kansas State
Penn State vs. Nebraska
Nebraska wants revenge for the thrashing it took last fall when visiting Happy Valley. Now that it has the Nittany Lions coming to Lincoln, it'll have its revenge however they want it. Greene's Pick: Nebraska
lowa vs. Iowa State
Iowa's good, and Iowa State's terrible. It's really that simple. Greene's Pick: Iowa
Washington State vs. Colorado
This is the week's toughest game to pick. Both teams can score and make it a shootout, but if the two get locked in a defensive struggle, the advantage goes to the Buffaloes. Plus, Folsom Field
is a tough place to play a road game. Greene's Pick: Colorado
Arkansas vs. Texas
Arkansas is 1-0 with a 45-13 victory. That victory came against Tulsa, one of the three worst teams in Division I-A. Confidence is the only thing that may help it in this one. Greene's Pick: Texas
SMU vs. Baylor
I truly feel bad for anyone who has to watch this game. Both teams are regulars at the cellar of their conference standings, but since Baylor may not have another chance to win a game all year, then what the heck. Good luck guys. Greene's Pick: Baylor
Siena vs. Stony Brook
Honestly, how can you pick against a team named the Sea-wolves? Greene's Pick: Stony, Brook
Greene is a Vernon Hills, IL., senior in journalism.
Football rivals to face off
By Matt Lozar
The Observer
University of Notre Dame
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — In case you didn't know, it's Notre Dame-Michigan week, which means the players and coaches are attempting to not over-hype this game.
"You still have 11 guys on offense, 11 guys on defense. You still have to line up and execute your technique and the
Besides the length of the rivalry, the success of the two teams adds meaning to every game.
play calls," Notre Dame cornerback Vontez Duff said. "It's one of those games where there are more fans.
"We have to have the mindset and attitude to go in there and execute our technique and get things done."
Even Duff admits it's hard not to think about how big this game actually is.
The significance of this rivalry goes back to Nov. 23, 1887, when the Irish played their first game against the Wolverines. Michigan won 8-0.
"It's a battle man. It's going to be away. It's going to be down to the last second on the
clock just like last year,” Duff said. “I feel as though if we go in and execute, it's going to be a great game.”
