200-yard relay team
breaks Kansas record
The University of Kansas swimming and diving team had a record-breaking first day at the Big 12 Championships on Wednesday en route to a third-place standing.
The 202 yard medley relay team consisting of senior co-captain Jenny Short, sophomore Danielle Hermmann, junior Lauren Bonfe and sophomore Maria Mayrovich, swam to a third-place finish and in the process shattered a Kansas record. The team's time of 1:41.01 bested the previous record of 1:42.02.
The Jayhawks also finished fifth in the 800-yard freestyle relay with a time of 7:25.07.
After the first day of events, the Jayhawks are in third place with 60 points, two behind Missouri and four ahead of Nebraska. Texas and Texas A&M are tied for first place at 74 points.

Retire 'Muck Fizzou' until next year
GAME APPAREL
Kansas plays Nebraska in basketball Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse, KU's mascot is the Jayhawk and the Missouri Tigers only visit Lawrence once each basketball season.
I know, I'm Captain Obvious,
but some people attending the game need a friendly reminder. At every game you see these people in the fieldhouse who are convinced that the layhawks are playing the Tigers as they're decked out in their "Muck Fizzon" T-shirts. They look as out of place as Rex Grossman in the Super Bowl. Obviously, they're either confused or their heads were bounced like basketballas infants. This is the only logical explanation for this fashion faux pas.
Finally, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee has decided to try to discourage students from wearing the "Muck Fuzzon" T.
shirts. The motives of this student group are somewhat off-base. The television networks have asked that students stop wearing these shirts because if they do, they're not getting on TV — not because they look like idiots, but because of the implied message.

If someone wants to wear the "Muck Fizzzor" during a game against Mizzou, that's cool with me. It's fine to hate Missouri. I'd even encourage it. I'm from Kansas. I was raised to hate the Tigers — even though Momma said never
But once the Tigers head back down I-70 and the jayhawks move on with their schedule, fans should, too. Against any other team, KU fans should be supporting the Jayhawks rather than insulting Missouri.
to hate.
I've heard the arguments from the people who wear the "Muck Fizzou" shirt every game. They'll say "I don't have any KU T-shirts." "I just really hate Mizzou" or "I like looking stupid." (OK, I made the one un).
Missouri is supposed to be the school obsessed with hating and beating us. If the Tigers lost all of their games but beat the layhawks, their fan base would be please. However, if the Tigers won against the layhawks, Bill Self would have to go into hiding.
If you don't own a KU T-shirt, empty out your change jar, go buy one and make sure it's blue. HyVe sells lajayhk T-shirts for $9.99. If you don't have a lajayhk T-shirt, you can't call yourself much of a fan, because free shirts are given out several times each season.
They're the same people who chant "airball" at a guilty opponent for an entire game, yell at Sasha Kaun to shoot a three-pointer when he's open at the top of the key and sneak flasks into the game so they can look and sound like idiots.
If fans (1 use that term loosely) want to look like idiots, they can do it on their own time. Just leave the rest of us alone, because the "Muck Fizzzer" shirts worn at the wrong time reflect poorly on all KU fans.
So if your friends wear this shirt every game, start by hitting them on the head. Then take their shirt, burn it, and then ask them if they're ready to change their ways. Sorry, this calls for violence. They probably don't understand words.
These "Muck Fizzou" shirts
need to be put away in the back of everyone's closet, nestled away until the Tigers return next season. The people who wear these shirts (and the "Friends don't let friends go to MU" shirts) every game need to be stopped.
