National Champions!!!

What can I say?!! That game was awesome. I'll be honest, I defintely had my doubts when KU was down by 9 with 2 minutes left to go...but the missed free throws by Memphis, and Super Mario's miracle 3 that sent the game into OT, you couldn't have asked for a better finish. Of course, KU dominated in OT..it was the Jayhawks time to shine!!!

The stars were definitely aligned for the Jayhawks. When they won it back in '88 the tourney started in Omaha then onto Detroit and then to KC...just like this year, except we ended up in San Antonio. Also, the same ref who did the '88 game, was part of the officials from last nights game! What more could we ask for!!!

Check out the picture below of Mass Street in downtown Lawrence. Looks like Mardi Gras!!

Also, just to note, Roy Williams was in the KU section last night cheering for the Jayhawks and he was even sporting a KU sticker!! Even though he left us for UNC, I still like Roy!!
To quote our good friend Cashdollar, "I don't know what rocks and chalk have to do with it, but Go KU!!! :) Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!
Here is a link to the history of the Rock Chalk Chant. FYI, Mt.Oread is the "hill" the KU sits on.
