LAWRENCE, Kan. - Kansas has lots of brown stuff growing out of the ground for miles, some cows who sleep two feet away from the edge of dirt roads and not much else, it seems.

LAHAINA, Hawai'i - And to the winner goes ... less beach time.
A cynic - or a biased reporter - would contend that all the Wolverines did by winning, 59-56 over Clemson yesterday, was assure themselves of a mid-afternoon (Hawai'i time, that is) game today against Syracuse.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - All who know him agree that John Blake made a difference in the lives of his players. But that doesn't carry much weight when you lose too many football games at Oklahoma.
Blake was fired Sunday after compiling a 12-22 record, the worst three-year stretch in school history. He held a 2 1/2-minute news conference Monday to thank his players, coaches and supporters.Sooners say later to Blake; S. Carolina fires Scott
