Baylor 'embarrassed by 45-10 loss to TCU

The Bears were outplayed in most aspects of the game they lost to TCU, 45-10, Saturday in Fort Worth. Redshirt sophomore Quarterback Robert Griffin connected 16 of 28 passes for 164 yards in what he considered a humiliating defeat.
"It's just embarrassing. I've never been more embarrassed in my life." Griffin said.

Redshirt freshman Aaron Jones' 48-yard field goal in the first quarter was the Bears lone first-half score. Griffin hit freshman receiver Josh Gordon on a third-quarter sideline route for a 53-yard touchdown, but the game proved too far out of reach.
"The thing that bothers me is we didn't challenge them enough. That's something we've got to do better in environments like this," head coach Art Briles said.
Bilies shared Griffin's sentiment that the Bears did not represent their university in a way the team felt was possible.
"I feel embarrassed for Baylor University, but we are going to fight our tail off and get it right. We aren't going to let this be the thing that defines us in 2010." Briles said.
After Baylor's first possession went three-and-out, the Horned Frogs attacked with the running game that helped them beat No. 24 Oregon State and Division I-AA Tennessee Tech. Running back Ed Wesley helped push the TCU lead to 14-0, finding a hole and bursting down the left sideline for a 49-yard touchdown. Wesley gained 165 yards on the ground on 19 attempts, which bested the Baylor team's 131 rush yards.
Senior linebacker and team captain Antonio Johnson said getting in an early hole caused thoughts about previous plays to linger in the defense's minds.
The Horned Frogs finished Saturday with 291 rush yards and 267 through the air, an offensive yardage total not surpassed since their 41-0 win over UNLV last year.
With the Baylor secondary frequently playing TCU receivers seven or more yards off the line of scrimmage, questions also arose concerning the choice not to use press coverage.
"Really, we have schemes and techniques that allow us to play up close and we, as players, need to utilize those and do what coach [defensive coordinator Brian Norwood] has taught us," sophomore cornerback Chance Casey said.
TCU took just 2:20 to score its first touchdown, a 28-yard, play-action pass from quarterback Andy Dalton to a wide-open Jeremy Kerley as Baylor's pressure could not reach
Dalton in time.
After reviewing game film, Griffin said Monday that he saw an offense unable to operate the way it wanted because of TCU's early scoring.
"They got up on us really quickly, so we had to go to some drastic measures on offense to try to put some points on the board. We couldn't really establish a rhythm," Griffin said.
Baylor's offense began to show life on its second drive, as three rushes moved the ball 40 yards to the TCU 33-yard line.
On the resulting set of downs, though, a penalty and two incomplete passes forced the Bears to settle for Jones' field goal.
Gordon's touchdown was a glimmer of Baylor's offensive capability, but it was not nearly enough to overcome TCU.
"That was the first time we went deep the whole game. I felt as though we could have been doing it more," Gordon said.
With an upcoming game against Rice on the road, the Bears are already looking past Saturday.
"None of us wanted to come out and have a showcase like this. It's a disappointment for our fans and for us. Hopefully our fans will travel to Houston, and we'll give them a good showing," Griffin said.

Instead of hauling it to a landfill, Boulevard will ship it to Lafarge's cement plant in Sugar Creek, Mo., located 10 miles northeast of Kansas City. Because cement is made at extremely high temperatures, the plant can burn almost anything as alternative fuel.

Gibson and Williams agreed that creating a more conscientious recycling culture at the brewery would be one of the most challenging obstacles to achieving zero landfill. Employees will no longer be allowed to simply throw everything into a trash can.

Gibson, a graduate student from Prairie Village, had the chance to test her hypothesis on Boulevard Brewing Company on Friday afternoon. With plans to go zero landfill by the end of the year, the Kansas City, Mo., brewing company requested AWMA to perform a waste audit of its facilities. To achieve zero landfill, Boulevard must send minimal to no trash to the landfill. More than 20 volunteers, including seven KU students, sorted two and a half days worth of trash collected from every department at the brewery. The volunteers divided the 226 pounds of trash into 17 purple bins labeled as different recyclable and non-recyclable materials.
"You'll get to the point where nobody working here sees trash," Gibson said. "They'll only see energy."
Gibson then recorded the weight and volume of trash in each bin. She

recorded that 187.55 pounds, or 83 percent, was food waste and compostable materials, such as napkins and paper plates, from Boulevard's hospitality rooms alone.
additional recycling bins and how much non-recyclable waste will be diverted to Lafarge North America, a construction materials company
Kurt Gerdes, education chairman for AWMAs Midwest section, said about half of the plant's fuel comes from alternative fuels such as the non-recyclable waste collected at Boulevard.
Gibson, who spent most of the two-hour audit frantically writing notes on her clipboard, will present Boulevard with a final report in October. Laurie Williams, logistics manager for Boulevard, will use the report to determine where to place

Salon Nouveau to host program on porn industry
CAMPUS
Students get chance to hear experts and discuss taboo topic
BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com
Ever wondered how much porn stars make? You can find out tonight at Salon Nouveau's first program of the school year. "XXX The Porn Industry," which is sponsored by the Commission on the
Status of Women. Salon Nouveau is the commission's new program that includes interactive presentations and discussions every Monday night.
N
Wright will be the primary speaker at the event, but her voice won't be the only one heard. Discussions will happen throughout the presentation when students can voice their own opinions. Wright said
"I chose this topic because I find it fascinating how 'pornified' American culture has become," said Kaylyn Wright, Salon Nouveau coordinator.
"It is my hope to present the topic in a neutral way and to allow people to draw their own conclusions about whether they are proof anti-porn," Wright said.
"I think it’s a neat experience to be around people who aren’t afraid."
Not all students feel comfortable or have an interest in discussing porn.
Erin Fauss, a freshman from Lenexa, said even though she wasn't opposed to the event, she wouldn't be going either.
the goal of the program wasn't to tell people what they should think about porn.
Kristen Vermeire, a junior from Lenexa, said she thought the program sounded refreshing.
Entrance is free.
"THE PORN INDUSTRY"
"I'm not interested in learning
to say what they think about taboo topics," Vermeire said.
WHEN: Tonight, 8 to 9 p.m.
WHERE: Kansas Union,
Walnut room (6th floor)
Salon Nouveau will cover a few topics, including a brief history of pornography, how performers' salaries are determined, what types of pornography exist, reasons why individuals get into porn industry, and a brief overview of feminist theories of pornography. There will also be a discussion on HIV testing in the world of pornography.
