THE MORNING BREW Swapping sports: Athletes trade places
It's hard to imagine Tiger Woods, Lebron James or Derek Jeter playing any other sport than what they play now. But what if, for one day, we could see our favorite athletes don a new uniform and take on an unfamiliar sport? Here are five athletes I'd like to see make the switch.
RAY LEWIS: NFL LINEBACKER FOR THE BALTIMORE RAVENS
For what will be 17 NFL seasons, Ray Lewis has been the most intimidating and hardest hitting backer in the league. There's not a scarier player in the game. If you were to ask me to name one player that I could never see wearing a Speedo and doing a choreographed routine in a pool, he would be my pick. I can almost guarantee it wouldn't look very good, but man, would it be funny.
BILLY HAMILTON: MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER IN THE CINCINNATI REDS ORGANIZATION
Track Field
Billy Hamilton recently broke the record for most steals in a minor league season with 146. He now has 154 stolen bases through 128 games, and there's still plenty of season left. With his speed and acceleration, he'll be one of the fastest players in Major League Baseball when he gets called up from AA. I want to see what this guy can do when he doesn't have to stop every time he reaches a base.
BLAKE GRIFFIN: NBA FORWARD FOR THE LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
Horse Racing
At 6-foot-10, Blake Griffin doesn't really fit the mold of the prototypical jockey. This is exactly why I'd love to see him saddled atop a horse in full jockey attire. His size wouldn't help with the aerodynamics of the sport, but it would be quite the spectacle.
GIANCARLO STANTON: MLB PLAYER FOR THE MIAMI MARLINS
Volleyball
It's pretty obvious Giancarlo Stanton would be good at whatever sport he plays, especially basketball or football. There are few players out there that can hit a home run as far as he can. With the size, power, and speed he showcases on the field every day, I think he'd make for a pretty good volleyball player too. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a Stanton spike.
USAIN BOLT: JAMAICAN SPRINTER
Obviously speed is the biggest and only factor, in wanting to see him on a baseball diamond. I don't care if he can't hit, throw or field—just use him in pinch running situations. Not only could he get into scoring position every time, his team would never hit into a double play again. That's because before the pitcher lets go of the ball, Bolt would already be on second base. Talk about a threat on the base paths.

Jayhawks shutout Creighton in Friday's game
nevans@kansan.com
Javhawks.
Relentless rainfall, strong winds and questionably-absent whistles from the referees all played factors in Friday's game against Creighton, but none of them were strong enough to deter the will and perseverance of the Jayhawks, as they came out on top 3-0.
The match marked the third straight victory at home for the Jayhawks, improving their record to 4-1 on the season. The victory was also a milestone for head coach Mark Francis, as the match was his 150th career win with the
It also was the third shutout in a row for senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau and the team, a feat Kansas has not completed since the 2009 season.
"We got a shutout and that's what we wanted. We knew he had to be solid back there with the conditions, so we're really proud of that," said senior defender/midfielder Shelby Williamson.
Defensively, the team was a brick wall, allowing Creighton only four attempts on goal. Liebtrau had to stop a single shot to secure the 11th shut-out of her career. After the match both Williamson and coach
Francis mentioned how important gettins outwore for the team, as they struggled last season with giving up goals.
"One of the things we focused on coming into the season, we had to make sure we didn't give up as many goals as we did last year," Francis said. "We dodged a couple today, but we didn't give them that many chances, which I think that is the key."
The play offensively by the jayhawks was also sound despite the rough elements thrown at them, as the team came out fast and relentless to begin the game. It took four minutes of consistently hounding
Creighton's goal before freshman forward Ashley Williams would capitalize on an opportunity presented from senior midfielder Amy Grow. It was the lone goal of the first half for Kansas.
Yet Kansas was able to create many scoring opportunities, with 17 shots on goal in the first half alone. The Jayhawks had 26 shots total on the night, proving that their offensive was an unwavering positive factor in the game, although it took longer for their efforts to pay off in the second half.
"The beginning of the second half, we were a little bit slow getting our rhythm back, because I thought
in the first half, we did a great job getting the ball. Really, our midfield is the key," Francis said. "Once that midfield starts controlling the tempo of the game, we start to get our rhythm back."
Williams continued her impact in the game and helped spark her team back to life in the second half after firing off a cross from the far side of the box during the 52nd minute. Junior forward/midfielder Caroline Kastor tipped in the ball, netting another goal to put Kansas ahead 2-0. The second half became more physical as the match went on. Players from both sides committed fouls out of frustration that
more often than not were not called by the officiating staff, much to the dismay and disbelief of the Kansas bench.
However, nothing would stand in the way of another Kansas victory, as Williams would be involved again in scoring the third and final goal of the game. Williams finished the game by finishing a cross from senior forward Nicole Christopulous late in the game at the 86th minute.
