Football
Curtis Kitchen, 810 WHB -- Snyder, coaches playing K-State pop-a-mole: Kitchen runs down the litany of issues that have faced the Wildcats this season. What's scary is that what he described really is a "litany" of problems, and he didn't even mention the kicking game's disastrous results thus far.
Kevin Haskin, Topeka Capital-Journal -- MU wideout recovers nicely: Don't be fooled by the title, this is really a Big 12 notebook. Haskin notes that Mike Leach is unhappy that no personal foul was called on Sergio Kindle's helmet-to-helmet hit on Taylor Potts. Judge for yourself.

Men's Basketball
Beasley back with Heat: No comments from the big guy, but Michael Beasley rejoined the Miami Heat yesterday. His coaches and teammates gave rave reviews, so let's hope this summer's frustrations are behind him.
Men's Golf
Tim Norris' men's golf squad is host this week to the Jim Colbert Intercollegiate at Colbert Hills Golf Course in Manhattan. After a rain-shortened first day of action, the Wildcats lead the team race by eight strokes. Play concludes today.
The Fourum
Chivalry is officially dead. Three girls were working on a car and 10 guys walked by without offering to help. Stupid campus guys.
He's a pepper, she's a pepper, Dr Pepper. It makes the world taste better.

Weren't the refs supposed to emphasize helmet to helmet conact this season?
If so – I call shenanigans. How do you miss a call like that? He clearly came in high and led upward with his helmet.
Shame on the refs for that one.

I think they need to clarify what exactly helmet to helmet is
If you hit right below the chin and slide up is that helmet to helmet? Does it matter if you hit the ball first? There doesn’t seem to be any consensus on this.

I think, and this is just me speculating,
that you have to look at only the helmet to helmet part of the play. Clearly in this play, check out the 0.45 mark, the top of Kindle’s helmet struck first with the facemask of Potts – causing it to come flying off. I think that has to be one of the clear cut definitions of the penalty – to go along with a superman headbutt….
We get the advantage of watching plays in slow-motion whereas football is played in real-time, but when a helmet comes flying off from a result of a hit like that – throw the flag. No doubt about it.

I think they just need to make better helmets.

Oh they have, but they're still working on a facemask design.
It had better be something that sparkles….

My personal opinion...
…is that it should have been flagged. Of course, as mystman said, I say that after seeing the slow-mo replay from the front side, whereas the ref saw it at real speed (and Kindle is very fast) from the back side. After a hit like the one where UCLA QB Kevin Prince had his jaw broken against Tennessee, you can see why they’re cracking down on helmet-to-helmet contact.
Further, why the hell is Kindle going high on Taylor Potts, a 6’5", 218 pound QB? The safer play would seem, to me, to form up and make a sure tackle, in case he sees the hit coming at the last second and is able shrug it off. Plus, by doing that you eliminate the possibility of giving Tech a free first down with a personal foul. Of course, the allure of being on SportsCenter for blowing someone up is pretty strong, too.
None of this should take away from the move Kindle made to get to Potts initially. He purely and simply abused the right tackle on that play.
We'll carry the banner high!
