Seniors to guide'Hawks on road trip to paradise
By Adam Herschman
Kansan sportswriter
Tour guides will not be needed in Honolulu when the Kansas football team returns to the Aloha Bowl for the second time in four years.
The seniors, who are making their second trip to Hawaii, not only will try to provide leadership to the underclassmen but also answer their questions about the sights and sounds of Oahu Island.
Kansas sophomore nose tackle Brett McGraw said that since the seniors already had been to Honolulu, they could show everyone around.
"They said the first time it was a good time but they didn't know what to expect," McGraw said. "So they said this time it's going to be more fun."
Kansas senior offensive tackle Rod Jones, who made his first start in the 1992 Aloha Bowl, said that since he already had been to Hawaii, he was going to enjoy the trip more.
"I didn't miss a thing last time." Jones said. "It's just the fact that

you're a little older. You do a little different things."
Jones advised the underclassmen to do the same.
"Just take it easy. Don't try to take it all in one day." Jones said.
McGraw said he was looking forward to seeing the sites and hanging out on the beach, but he was not excited about the airplane ride.
"You get to sit in an airplane for eight hours, and that's no fun," he said.
The Jayhawks will depart at 9 a.m. on Dec. 19 and will arrive at Honolulu International later that afternoon
Once in Honolulu, the Jayhawks will practice in the mornings.
Mason said that when the team was practicing, it would be all business, but it would have afternoons off.
Besides relaxing on Waikiki Beach, shopping for souvenirs and having free time to enjoy
Honolulu, the Jayhawks will make some group trips. The Kansas football team will visit a hospital and Pearl Harbor, both of which they also visited in 1992.
"It was touching basically because my father, he was in the army and he always tells us things about war and the sea," Jones said about his visit to Pearl Harbor in 1929. "It touched me deep."
Jones said he was going to bring a camcorder so he could bring the trip back with him.
"I'll be able to catch everything on film," Jones said. "It's a trip of a lifetime for most people."
Kansas junior running back June Henley agreed. He said this could be the only time some Jay-hawks would get to go to Hawaii, so they might as well enjoy it.
"I think the farthest I've been without my family is Kansas," Henley said. "I just can't wait to see what it's like."
Mason said the team also would take part in a cruise and a beach party with UCLA.
"I believe these bowl games are rewards," Mason said. "They're supposed to be fun."
