We could have won the game if we just scored three points off a freaking field goal. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 Attention, all soccer players: The football team needs a kicker. Hey, Coach Mangino: Thanks for going for hey. Sincerely, the Texas Tech football staff. --- I can make a field goal, put me on the team! - I bet if there was a submarine sandwich in the endzone, Mangino would have got there a lot more in the second half. - reah, maybe Mangino should kick a field goal himself or, shit, maybe Baby Jay or...I don't know, somebody The only thing I got out of that football game was half a sideburned face. --- Brian Lewis/KANSAN I think Mangino needs to set up a meeting with the soccer team. - We should get a kicker from the soccer team. How is it that kickers who only kick during practice can't make simple extra points and what not? Please, someone, help me answer this question. --- Yeah, my grandma can give the KU kickers some lessons on how to kick that ball. For Christmas this year, I want a fire truck, a snowmobile, and a person who can kick field goals. - Losing because we missed two field goals, sounds like a familiar situation. Let someone else kick the ball. - Find a kicker for our football team...please! Kill the kicker! 图 Scott Webb, you are the new Johnny Beck. Pick me! Pick me! wanna kick Kansas! Let me kick! I wanna make a field goal! Way to go, kicker! You blew another one. Hope you are happy. Mangino: Get rid of our kickers and have one of the soccer girls kick the field goals Yeah, KU needs a new kicker because the ones we have aren't doing anything!

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The way his year has gone, that's just his luck. Woods had every reason to look forward to this World Golf Championship event. It returns to Mount Juliet, where Woods won two years ago by not making a bogey until the 72nd hole and finishing with a 25-under 263, matching his lowest 72-hole score under par. He has dominated the World Golf Championships, winning eight out of 15 since they began in 1999. And best of all, he doesn't have to worry about Vilay Singh. He said he hurt his back a week ago Tuesday when he fell asleep awkwardly on his private plane from New York, where he had spent the day promoting his video game. Singh, the No. 1 player in the world, was the biggest name among six players, in the top 50 who withdrew from the American Express. Fresh off his eighth PGA Tour victory of the year, Singh chose to stay home with his family in north Florida to cope with damage from Hurricane Jeanne. Woods hasn't looked like a world-beater all year, and he sure didn't look, like one yesterday as he walked gingerly to the clubhouse for lunch. "It's spasmed up and hasn't been the same since." Woods said. He is scheduled to tee off today at 12:50 p.m. with Luke Donald and K.J. Choi, although Woods said there was some doubt he would make it. Rowing at Oklahoma City, Okla "Warm-up session will probably determine it," he said. "Today, I loosened up in the (fitness) trailer and I went out and hit a few balls. It was sore, but I could manage that. Then I just quit after seven. I didn't want to push it any further. Maybe I'll get some more treatment on it." Woods missed the first five weeks of the 2003 season recovering from surgery on his left knee. He also hurt his lower back on the eve of the 2001 Tour Championship, but finished the tournament and tied for 13th. "I was able to play through that. This one is a little bit different," Woods said. "If I'm able to go, I'll go. If I can't, then I won't. I've never been one to pull out of tournaments and quit just because I'm physically sore. But if I can't actually swing a golf club, then it's pretty tough to play." He said the soreness is between his shoulder blades and it hurts at impact. "I'm hitting it much straighter, but it's not going as far — so I guess that's a positive," Woods said, making light of some of his errant tee shots this year. TALK TO US Tell us your news.
