SHOCKERS MASTER ART OF TALKING -
02/09/2010
At times, basketball is a solitary sport. Players shoot in empty gyms, work on dribbling and lift weights on their own. When the lights are on and the arena is full of screaming fans, basketball is a team sport. That is where talking — to teammates, not yapping at opponents — is crucial. Coach Gregg Marshall characterizes this Wichita State
team as one of the best communicating groups in his experiences. It is one of the many reasons WSU (20-5, 9-4 Missouri Valley Conference) is in second place in the conference entering tonight's game at Evansville (6-17, 0-13). "A lot of guys have been with us now for one or two years, at least," Marshall said. "They see the benefit of it, especially on defense. When it's very loud in arenas they can communicate with one another without having anybody else to facilitate
that."
SAINTS REVEL IN UPSET FOR AGES, LOOK TO FUTURE -

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. —Clearly exhausted from a late night of post-Super Bowl celebrations, Sean Payton leaned on a podium Monday morning, clutching the Vince Lombardi trophy in his
right hand. "You can't get enough of this," the Saints' head coach said at a news conference at the Fort Lauderdale convention center. "This thing lay in my bed next to me last night, rolled over it a couple times. I probably drooled on it. But man, there's
nothing like it." Certainly, the New Orleans Saints never experienced anything like it.
TURGEON USES KU, WSU AS TEMPLATE FOR FANS -

Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon knows basketball excitement, and he wasn't feeling it in College Station. At least, not to the extent he believed the program deserved. "We didn't know how to cheer at a basketball game; I guess it's called yell down here," Turgeon said. "We're getting there. It takes time." Turgeon helped give it a push last summer when he encouraged the school to dump its student lottery process. Turgeon said the school held the lottery to determine which 18,000 ticket holders got 4,300 seats, but the process was confusing and he came across
too many students who wanted to fill empty seats.
LABOR STOPPAGE LOOMS OVER NFL -
02/09/2010
A memorable season capped by a super title game with a record TV audience has NFL executives and fans beaming. The smiles might soon disappear. Pro football is headed into the great unknown. Barring a quick — and totally unexpected — agreement with the players' union on a new contract, 2010 will have no salary cap. After that, perhaps a work stoppage, something
NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith puts at "14" on a scale of 1 to 10.

 Baseball in
Wichita
The art of baseball is evident at Wichita State
University’s Eck Stadium. The bronze sculpture, “Put Me in
Coach,” overlooks the stadium entry. Behind it a 70-foot mural, the
longest of its kind at any university ballpark, depicts WSU’s storied
baseball history. The art of baseball has also been evident on Wichita’s
playing fields for well over a century. During and after the Civil War,
baseball quickly spread across the nation. When Wichita was incorporated in
1870, the town and the game were ready for each other, and Wichita had its
first professional nine the following decade. Baseball in Wichita tells the
story of local baseball at all levels—amateur, collegiate and pro—in
words and images dating from the 19th century to the present day.
