KU Reigns Supreme!!!

I am going to sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights and sounds of Ku's wonderful year in sports so far. First, we win the Orange Bowl (for the first time since the early 20th century) and only lose one game in football. Then we top it off with a National Championship in basketball on the 20th anniversary of their last national championship. These players went out with style. Did you know that not one of the Kansas players was on the All Conference team in the Big 12? What does that tell you about the team they put out there last night? I'll tell you what it means. It tells you that Kansas actually was a TEAM with no individual egos.

Who do you guard at the end of the game, Chalmers, Rush, Robinson, Collins, who....? Anyone could step up at any given time. We got overlooked a lot of the time because we were said to have no "Star" player or a consistent "Go-to guy". NOT ANYMORE! We didn't need to put all our hope into one player like a Davidson or a North Carolina. KU rebounded and played defense better than any team in the tournament. Previously both teams they faced in the final four had never been behind in the tournament, NC and Memphis. This coupled with the fact that they had a never-say-die attitude led to the glorious outcome in the championship game. I will enjoy this for a long time. I was Witness!!!!

Roy Williams still has the love for KU in the stands of the Championship game last night.

Let the Madness Begin!!!

Well, I have to say that I look forward to the NCAA tournament every year. I especially can't wait for the first couple of days with game after game of upsets, buzzer beaters, and nail-biters. Someday I would love to watch a live game. It is win or go home and that makes the motivation for each player that much more intense. I do expect KU to win this year of course but I will say this: Watching the first two or three rounds is the best part of the tournament. This is where the ultimate upsets happen. I get into the *"Olympic-State" of cheering which I'll explain in a second. It creates a Hoosier-like atmosphere. A passion-filled fan am I of whoever is the underdog. I love this game!!! By the way, I see a KU vs Texas final and KU the victor. Erin Andrews, the ESPN analyst who is a female yet has chosen the last two champions, has picked KU to win it all. IT MUST BE A SIGN! HA!

*An Olympic-state of cheering happens when a whole country gets behind an athlete or team and roots them to victory. What an awesome thought to become unified as a country over a sporting event.

It happens to the best of us!

I had a whole blog typed up but it shut down on me so I am not neglecting my poor little old blog. As the governor of California used to say, "I'll be back."
