Preseason poll places Jayhawks in second
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
The six-time defending champions of the Big 12 will not make it seven, if the conference coaches are right in their preseason poll.
Kansas, which has claimed the league crown in the previous six seasons, received only two of the 12 first place votes, with Kansas State taking the other 10. The Wildcats were picked to win the league for the first time since its formation in 1996. Kansas was picked to finish second.
This marks the second time in three years that the Jayhawks were picked to finish outside the top slot. They were picked to finish third in the Big 12 in 2008-2009, but won with a 14-2 conference record.
Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own team in the poll.

New bill concerns concussions
MORNING BREW
To the retired NFL player turned vegetable who bites his lip (if he still can) as he wins th
still can) as he winces through old takes of ESPNs "Jacked Up"; There is something to cheer about (again, if you still can).
The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill that allocates athletic, educational and medical experts to devise guidelines for when or if a player can return to a sport after a concussion. The bill was sponsored by New Jersey democrat Bill Pascrell and responds to several reports of long term post-concussion issues (mostly from football) following mistreatment of the injury.
The bill whispers that we may be veering away from our hit happy, and in some ways, barbaric culture.
A RIVALRY GONE AWRY
Police from Branford, Conn., claim that a New Hampshire native was stabbed in a bar fight about the Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees rivalry.
Some may argue that football players have concussions coming to them by playing such a physical sport. Well, a) it's got nothing on rugby, where jabbing a metal cleat at an opponent's face could be considered strategy and b) concussions will always be a part of the sport (with the current rules), so we might as well figure out how to treat them properly.
New Haven, Conn., native John Mayor,
not to be confused with the pacifist pop
singer, was arrested Saturday night and
charged with "assault and other offenses."
BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com
The victim was Nashua, N.H. native Monte Freire.
The Associated Press release did not state which team each man supported, though considering geography here, one has to assume that it was the Red Sox fan getting stabbed.
Vulgar jokes, victimizing t-shirts and repetitive chants are on one level. Stabbing someone over a baseball feud? I never thought I'd say this, but if these claims are true, Mayor took the greatest sports rivalry too far.
Atlanta Braves skipper Bobby Cox is back in the playoffs in the last of his 29th season in a baseball dugout. His team begins its World Series quest against the beatable San Francisco Giants and must have a little extra something considering that this is the last go around for the legendary manager.
After a dismal third place season (sorry Royals fans, but this doesn't float in Boston) and now news like this, Red Sox nation bleeds with you Monte.
COX'S LAST HURRAH
Cox's Braves were the class of baseball in the 90s. Led by superstar third baseman Chipper Jones and a pitching trio of Greg Maddux (arguably the greatest locator ever), Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, Atlanta won the National League East Division 14 consecutive seasons.
But even greater than the victories was Cox's demeanor. He defended his players as if they were his sons. He chewed out umpires on offy calls. He showed respect to veterans who knew how to play the game. He batted Jones third in his rookie season, ahead of sluggers David Justice and Javy Lopez.
"He makes you feel so special about what you do," catcher David Ross said. "Even if it's the smallest thing you can do for your team, he notices it."
And even after all of the success he's logged in the past, here's hoping of' Bobby gets another ring this October.
