McNeil'said parking her moped is often an
issue because people tend to chain their bikes

where mopeds are supposed to be chained

Moped users

have trouble "

with parking

By Morgan Witt

It‘s not quite a car. btit not qtiite a
bike. So where do you park'.‘

Students using mopeds as their way of
transportation to and from campus are
getting towed from bicycle racks and
from marked motorcycle parking areas
when without a permit.

Mopeds. generally smaller than a mo
torcyclc and \A ith two. three or four
wheels. don't quite fit into one category.
which makes it difficult. said freshman
Jennifer McNeil.

"It is considered somey'sv'hat of a mos
torcyclc. but it can only go about 55 mph
so in that aspect it is not a motorcycle."
McNeill said.

Don 'l‘liornton. L'K's director of park»
irig and transportation seivices. said the
university‘s parking guidelines are cur-
rently under reyieyy to address mopeds.

Thornton also said mopeds and mo.
torcy'cles are required to park iti Motorcy»

torcycle permit displayed on the rear
fender to park during restricted hours.

Matty moped tt\\ltct'.s do not need a
UK permit because a iiiotor'cycle license
is not required to operate mopeds. which
do not exceed 55 mph

In addition. [’K's parking regulations
state that mopeds may be secured to a bi~
cycle rack.

Sophomore Nathan ('r'use said he rer

Shoulder injury forces senior to redshirt 2008-2009 season

By loila Kalogi
lkalegi@kykernel.com

UK senior swimmer Warren
Grobbelaar had a choice: end his
career or sit out his senior year.
Grobbelaar decided to ride the pine.

But Grobbelaar isn‘t just sitting
out his last year — he‘s extending it.
The swimmer from Pretoria. South
Africa decided to redshitt this year
after months of shoulder pain, in an-
ticipation for next season and the
2012 Olympics. Grobbelaar had two
options: grind through the pain and
end his swimming career after UK
or rest.

Grobbelaar has had problems
with his left shoulder for the past
two years. but it has worsened since
last December because he was train—
ing for the 2008 Olympics in Bei-
jing. He just missed making the
South Africa Olympic team for the
2008 games.

Grobbelaar said there isn‘t arty—
thing structurally wrong with his
shoulder. but the pain remained.

Grobbelaar rested his shoulder
during the summer hoping the prob-
lem would fix itself. Grobbelaar has
continued to practice with the team.
but he has adjusted his workouts so
that the injury does not flare up

again.
“It‘s fine for everyday use but
hurts when swimr‘ning." he said.

The decision to sit was mainly
Grobbelaar's. Swimming head coach
Gary Conelly said redshit‘ting was
his best option.

“He wanted to gnc himself an-
other year to get back up to speed."
Conelly said. “He‘s hoping to make
the 2012 South African Olympic
team and he has a real shot."

At last season‘s Southeastem
Conference championship. Grobbe«
laar finished seventh in the IOU-yard

Cats feeling the effects of
‘Voter fraud’ with low ranldng

The best thing about sports is the team
that's supposed to win. usually wins. And
teams that wear red don’t necessarily play

consen'atiye with the
lead. and teams that
wear blu well. they‘re
not always the people's
champ.

and Florida.

For the record. the
No. 21 UK volleyball team has more wins
than any other team in the Southeastem
Conference.

But despite only three losses for the
Cats. they‘re still having a hard time find-
ing acceptance from voters in the national
polls. especially in comparison to their Sun-
shine State rivals.

The No. ll Gators. who boast a l7—2

record. are ranked ll) places ahead of the
Cats in the American Volleyball Coaches
Association poll.

"They have some good wins. They beat
us this year and should be ahead of us in
the polls. Until we‘re able to get a win
against Florida I'm not sure that‘s going to
change. unless they take some more losses.
and I don‘t see that happening." UK head
coach Craig Skinner said.

While both clubs are tied atop the SEC
standings with identical ll»| records
against conference foes. it's the resurrected
UK volleyball program that‘s still not get-
ting the respect it deserves.

“Florida is annually one of the best pro-
grams in the country. and still is." Skinner
said.

The single blemish in the Cats‘ confer-
ence record was the result of a match on
Oct. 10 between the Cats and Gators in
Gainesvillc. Fla. The Cats rallied from a 3.0
deficit to force a fifth game before the
Gators put them away. 15-8.

The Cats don't get another chance to

Offensive line

The UK offensive line
has been a strong point. giv—
irig up only seven sacks
through the first eight games
of the season. They have kept
their quarterback off the
ground. and with a more mo—
bile Cobb back there. it could
be more dangerous.

Defensive line

Despite Myron Pryor be—
ing injured. the Cats‘ defen—

sive line Is one of the best
around. Jeremy Jarmon. Yen»

and Corey Peters Wlll contin—

This is a category that the
Cats shouldn‘t lose all year.

Linebackers

The Cats face the possibiL
ity of playing without Micah
Johnsoti this week. bitt senior
Braxton Kelley will refuse to
let that affect the quality of
this group. On the other side
of the ball. Dominic Douglas
and KJ. Wright lead the Bull—
dogs in tackles with 58 and 40
respectively. Wright also has
two sacks on the year.

Adv: UK

Secondary

Trevard Lindley might be
the best player the country
hasn't heard of. He is a true
shut-down comer and poten-
tial All-American. David
Jones has shown he is no
slouch on defense either.
With two Bulldog quarter-
backs that are prone to throw—

Ing interceptions. expect UK
to dominate this category.

Special teams

There‘s nothing special
about UK‘s special teams. If
you're a Cat fan. just take a
deep breath and cross your
fingers when they come out
on the field. The Cats should
never be in consideration for
the best irt this category.

Adv: Miss. St.

Overall

The Cats are just one win
away from bowl eligibility.
Could there be deja vu from
two years ago when the Cats
rebounded against MSU after
art ugly loss‘.’ That depends
on the play of Cobb at quar—
terback. but more importantly
if his receivers give him any
help. If they can. arid should.
the Cats will win. Expect a
close game between two
evenly matched teams. In the
end. Cobb. Jarmon. Kelley
and Co. refuse to allow a let-
down. '

Texas Tech perseveres and wins in Big 12

By Blair Kerkboff

KANSAS CITY. Mo
The eyes of Texas. and the
college football nation. will
be on sixth«ranked Texas
Tech when it takes on the
top-ranked Longhorns on
Saturday.

Those eyes may be sur~
prised at what they see.

No. not the circus of«
fense. Stats readers know all
about the aerial show and the
Red Raiders' leading the na'
tion In passing yards five of
the last six years.

No stranger to the public

the law student-tumed-un-
LUIIanllttnttl coach who likes
pirates. Is buddies with Don-
ald Trump and often goes for
it on fourth and I from his
side of the field.

And people are getting to
know about Matt Williams.
the kicker who won the job
through a fan contest between
quarters earlier this season.

What folks Will learn
about Texas Tech by tuning
in to the biggest game In
school history Is that the pro
gram has stood as a model of
consistency and Is proof that

I liked what Leach. in his
ninth season. said about the
matter when asked about the
significance of the Texas
game.

“This one doesn‘t mean
anything if you didn‘t make
the best of the ones before-
hand," he said.

Tech has done well
enough in those games to be
considered the leader of the
Big l2 pack that falls below
the Texas-Oklahoma separa
tion line. and Leach hasn‘t
gotten enough credit for the
accomplishment.

Since [each arrived and
Including this season. only

There also have been in»
explicable rneltdowns. like
last season's home loss to
Colorado. and a knack for
falling apart against Missouri.
