Big 12 track honors KU's Michael Stigler

Kansas University hurdler Michael Stigler was named Big 12 Outstanding Male Freshman of the Year on Wednesday. The awards were voted on by league head track-and-field coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own athletes.

Vote: Who had the best KU Missouri vanity license plate?

We asked you what you'd put on a personalized Missouri license plate, if the state allowed the Jayhawk to appear on plates. Some of your submissions weren't exactly street legal, but we applaud your creativity. We're asking for your help in determining three winners of an 8x10 photo of Mario Chalmers' "The Shot." Vote for your favorite (sorry, one vote per person). Voting closes at noon Friday.
