Watching won't make you fit
MORNING BREW
My roommate and her boyfriend were arguing about being a sports fan recently. She was giving him a hard time about not knowing much about sports. His response was that he actually does sports, not just watches other people do them.
While I think that's a bit of a cop out (real men know sports), there does seem to be something a little off about sitting inside on a Sunday watching other people perform amazing physical feats while you sit on your butt eating chili dogs and drinking beer.
Not that it isn't my favorite way to spend a Sunday, but it is a little hypocritical for me to yell at a player when he doesn't make a catch when I can't even open the jar of pickles by myself.
We idolize physical fitness in America, but a lot of us aren't exactly all-stars. I used to be able to run a sub-six mile and my daily routine was running for at least half an hour everyday, but now it's a good week if I get three days of exercise.

I used to feel weird if I didn't work out. Now it doesn't make a difference. Now, I think a work out is carrying my bags of
groceries (filled with mainly Ben & Jerry's)
up the stairs — I do try to do bicep curls
while carrying them, though.
After the P.E. classes and YMCA basketball practices of our youth end, it just seems really difficult to find the time to work out. Now I have classes and fantasy teams to manage and in two years I'll have work and bills to pay.
I know my health and well-being should be at the forefront and I should make time to work out. I've tried the morning exercise, but when 5 a.m. rolls around it just seems so early. I've tried night exercise, too, but when 10 p.m. rolls around I just seem so tired.
ball player no matter how bad he is, even whoever the Arizona quarterback is, is still way more physically fit than I am. And maybe — and this is a big maybe — instead of watching these guys all day on Sundays I can take a quarter or two off and go outside for a run. Or, for more of a compromise, go watch the game at the rec while I sweat on the StairMaster.
The fact of the matter is that any foot-

Seniors and coach to host talk Sundav
If you are a student-combo ticket holder, Sunday is your first chance to see the men's basketball team close-up.
On Sunday, Oct. 10 from 4-5 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse, coach Bill Self and the senior players will have a Q&A for those students.
"There is no doubt we have the best home-court advantage in the nation and that starts with our students," Self said in a press release. "We feel this is a way to
show our appreciation to those students who pay for tickets, camp out and support our team;
The northeast doors of the fieldhouse will open at 3:30 p.m., followed by Self and the players answering questions about the upcoming season. Student-combo ticket holders can ask questions via guestservices@ku.edu. Those will be answered first.
Afterward, the entire team will sign autographs.
The student-combo ticket holders need their student ID to enter.

Brent Burns scored for Minnesota with 3:21 left, but Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward made a late save to preserve
