WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
No.12 regional ranking gives program boost, hope for making NCAAs
For the first time this year, the Kansas volleyball team is regionally ranked. Currently, the team is ranked No.12 in the Mideast region.
Notre Dame is No. 1 in the region. No.2 Nebraska and No.3 Colorado join the Jayhawks as the only representatives of the Big Eight.
Coaches around the Mideast decide which 15 teams get into the poll and in what order they are placed.
Kansas coach Frankie Albitz said being ranked was a boost for the program.
"It was one of the team's goals for this season," Albizt said. "It makes scheduling games a lot easier. With a regional ranking, teams are willing to play you because it won't hurt them if they lose."
Another of Kansas' goals this season is to make the NCAA tournament, held in December — but the goal is lofty, Albitz said. This year, the tournament was expanded from 32 to 48 teams, giving Kansas a better chance to make the tournament.
Albitz said if the Jayhawks did not defeat the best teams in the Big Eight, it would be hard to get into the tournament, unless the team's record was good.
"I think we're good enough, but I don't know if the girls know we're that good yet," Albitz said. "It's hard to get past the tradition of those schools."
The regional ranking is a step toward getting selected for the NCAA tournament, Albizt said.
"The goal is a high one," she said. "But if we continue playing at the level we are now, it is possible."
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Gimme a U! Gimme an A!
Gimme a B! Gimme a politically correct school mascot!
Complaints have forced the University of Alabama at Birmingham to sideline its mascot, a rough-and-tumble Norseman who drew fire for being too mean, too masculine and too white.
COLLEGE ATHLETICS Complaints sideline mascot
"He was — I hate to use the word — too Aryan," Alabama-Birmingham sports information director Grant Shingleton said yesterday.
"Blaze," a mustached, Caucasian warrior dressed in bright green with a silver battle helmet was introduced last January. His job was to promote the school's athletic teams, the Blazers.
But the complaints began pouring in from students and fans, and Blaze's career burned out before football season. There were no organized protests, just lots of calls to university offices, plus some ribbing in the local media.
University spokesman Mike Ellis said officials felt it was best to be responsive to the complaints rather than letting the issue fester.
"I think our main concern was it was a white male figure who didn't represent women on campus or the ethnic mix on campus." Ellis said.
So after spending two years and $20,000 developing a mascot, the university will now replace Blaze with ... who knows what.
said. "How do you pick a mascot to represent something that is rather abstract?"
Callers to all-sports radio station, WJOX, had several suggestions yesterday for the Blazers including a big green sports coat, a four-wheel drive Chevrolet Blazer utility vehicle and a geeky student who is actually doused with gasoline and set afire before each game. It was unclear whether the same student would be used more than one.
"It all goes back to the name Blazer." Shingleton
PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL Cubs southpaw earns 50th save
LOS ANGELES — All those Randy Myers posters the hostile Bleacher Bums at Wrigley Field throw away in disgust are probably collectors items by now.
The Chicago Cubs' reliever increased their value considerably Monday night at Dodger Stadium, when he became the first left-hander in baseball history and the first National Leaguer to record 50 saves in a season.
The low point for Myers came on Aug. 15 against the Giants — on "Randy Myers Poster Day" — when the hostile bleacher occupants littered Wrigley Field with the freebies moments after Myers sustained one of his six blown saves.
"I got a lot of letters after that from fans who said those people weren't true fans," he said.
