‘Kick The Kansan’ makes a comeback

Thursday, August 30, 2007

Remember the days, way back in the fall of 2005, when students had the chance to “Kick The Kansan”?

This semester The Kansan is reviving that proud tradition.

The concept is simple: pick the outcomes of college football games. If you can beat the best at The Kansan for the week, you’ll get your name in the paper. If you are the best among your peers, we’ll put your name, picture and picks for the following weekend’s games side-by-side with Kansan staff members. In the event of a tie, everyone’s a winner.

At the end of the semester, we’ll publish the best of the best. In other words, those of you who submitted picks every week and were more accurate than the rest.

Starting on Tuesday, The Kansan will publish the games you can pick. You can submit your picks in person at The Kansan business office on the west side of the first floor of Stauffer-Flint Hall, which is between Wescoe Hall and Watson Library. You can also visit Kansan.com to submit your picks online.

Make sure to include your name, year in school, hometown and e-mail, or your picks won’t be valid.

Tomorrow you’ll get a peak at your competition when The Kansan staff’s picks are published.

Good luck trying to “Kick The Kansan.” But, you’re probably smarter than us. So it’ll be a piece of cake, right?
