TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many turnovers has the Kansas Jayhawk defense forced this season?

Lance Armstrong criticisms reflect issues in cycling world
ARMSTRONG SCAPEGOAT FOR BIGGER
PROBLEMS
Over the past few weeks, Lance Armstrong has been in a bit of a rut. The cycling great and cancer survivor was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, received a lifetime ban from cycling and lost his endorsement deal with Nike.
The champion cyclist appealed his ban and the loss of his titles given out by the U.S. Anti Doping Agency, but the accusations and evidence stained his reputation.
It is my belief, however, that the criticisms of Armstrong are unfair. Yes, it is likely that his performance benefited from dirty actions but that is not an indication of a tainted man so much as it is an indication of a tainted sport.
There is a popular stat floating around the internet that says that in Armstrong's 2005 Tour de France victory if the title was awarded to the next fastest cyclist that wasn't implicated in some sort of doping, the winner would be the 23rd place finisher.
With that in mind, it is clear the doping permeated the entire sport and the separation that we saw from Armstrong truly was his work ethic that pushed him to the top of the cycling world.
While Armstrong may have a stake of being insufferable and arrogant to other cyclist and officials, his work with the Livestrong
Foundation is more than enough to remember him as an overall positive influence.
KANSAS FOOTBALL NEEDS OFFENSIVE
FACE-LIFT
The coaching change and addition of transfer players this season led to some excitement going into the football season this year but through seven games, this season has been nothing but disappointing. The team has a single win, their opening game against the mighty South Dakota State Jackrabbits, and faces a game against Texas on Saturday.
The defense has made some great strides this season as they have limited some very good offenses and created turnovers with very good frequency. Too often, however, the offense has turned the ball right back over or failed to capitalize on great field position.
The offensive line has done a great job run blocking and the three-headed assault of Tony Pierson, James Sims and Taylor Cox has capitalized on the solid blocking to post strong numbers each week.
We know Charlie Weis' reputation as an offensive genius, but this team's passing game has been stagnant at best. The receivers have struggled to get open all season long and when they have been open Dayne Crist has struggled to find them.
wets has already begun to switch things up offensively but more changes need to come to see what type of offense jayhawk fans can expect next season. The offense is broken and new parts are needed to fix it, particularly in the passing game.
FRONTCOURT INJURIES MUDDLE WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFF PICTURE
With the rise of the Los Angeles Clippers, the moves made by the Los Angeles Lakers and the general amount of talent in the NBA's Western Conference, it is clear that it will be much more difficult to reach the playoffs in the West.
With an existing injury to Dwight Howard and recent injuries to both Kevin Love and Dirk Nowitzki, three of the top frontcourt presences in the entire NBA are question marks entering the season.
While Dwight Howard is expected to play.
his injury history creates
doubts about his ability to stay on the court for Los Angeles.
Kevin Love's injury drastically affects the playoff hopes of the Minnesota Timberwolves who already must stomach the injury to point guard Ricky Rubio that should keep him from playing deep into December.
Dirk Nowitzki's injury may have the biggest effect on his team. The Dallas Mavericks won the NBA title two seasons ago, but struggled for much of last season before being swept in the first round of the playoffs. The Mavericks do not have good depth up front and could really struggle with Nowitzki out to start the season.

NEW YORK — Only in the BCS standings does Oregon get passed.
The Wildcats' big victory Saturday at West Virginia was enough to nudge them past the Ducks, who are No. 2 in both polls but are getting held back by computer ratings that lag behind the other highly ranked teams.
Kansas State moved ahead of the Ducks and up to No. 3 on Sunday behind
Notre Dame is fifth in the standings heading into its game at Oklahoma. The Sooners are eighth.

LSU is sixth and unbeaten Oregon State is seventh.
The Ducks aren't likely to gain any ground this week unless the teams in front of them lose. Oregon plays Colorado (1-6) at home, while the rest of the
teams ahead of the Ducks play ranked opponents.
Oregon should be able to start making up ground Nov. 3. The Ducks play USC that day, then go to Cal. They finish with Stanford at home and Oregon State in Corvallis. Oregon would also have to play in the Pac-12 championship game if it gets that far.
The all-SEC BCS championship game between LSU and Alabama last year notwithstanding, it would seem this season the SEC stands a better chance of working itself out by Dec. 1.
If Alabama and Florida keep winning they'll play each other that day in the SEC championship for a spot in the national title game.
