Tonight is Late Night at KU, which is when we celebrate the start of basketball season. The men and women’s teams are introduced and they typically do skits and dance. It’s a fun, fun night. We’ll be at a wedding tonight so we won’t be there.
Here’s the dancing from last year (found on You Tube):
God bless college basketball season!
I was listening to Pandora tonight and, of course, the ad at the bottom left of the screen caught my attention. By the way, it’s BEWARE OF THE PHOG, not beware the phog. Actually it’s “Pay Heed All Who Enter: Beware Of The Phog”.
Is anyone else distracted by the horrible shorts? But the real questions is, which of the following uniforms is the worst? I know who I’m picking.
KU just beat Ohio State and we’re going to the championship!!!! Not bad for a rebuilding year when we really weren’t expecting them to go too far.
And I know this isn’t nice, but suck it Jack:)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Luke, Kenny (and our Jayhawk statue)!

1. I LOVE March Madness. LOVE.
2. KU didn’t make a #1 seed but they didn’t really deserve it. The #2 seed was fine.
3. I took this blindfold bracket approach and came up with KU to win it all. It’s kind of fun if you haven’t already tried it.
4. I actually had Kentucky to win it all in the first bracket I made. I just couldn’t do it and ended up ripping it up and doing a new one where KU wins it all.
5. As much as I want KU to win (or at least do well), I want Mizzou to lose. K State used to be my least favorite team but that honor has now gone to Mizzou.
I received this email today:
Dear Jayhawk:
Amid the latest round of conference realignment discussions, I want all KU alumni to know that Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Dr. Sheahon Zenger, KU athletics director, are aggressively pursuing the best possible outcome for KU. As the chancellor expressed yesterday, they will continue to keep our community informed.
The unsurpassed loyalty of the Jayhawk Nation is one of KU’s greatest assets. Thanks for all you do to strengthen KU.
Rock Chalk!
Here’s a link about what’s going on.
A Mizzou fan, a KU fan, and a K-State fan are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves their team the most. The K-State fan insists that he is the most loyal. ”This is for you, K-State!” he yells, and jumps off the mountain. Not to be outdone, the KU fan is next to profess his love for his team. He yells, “This is for the Jayhawks!” and pushes the MU fan off the mountain.
I love Selection Sunday.
KU is the #1 team in the Southwest bracket. And because of my Illini friends, I’m REALLY hoping that KU and Illinois get to play each other. That would be a fun game to watch.
The full bracket can be found here.

One of my friends had this on FB and it made me laugh.
FYI: It is DEFINITELY not child appropriate (just in case you have a little one around).
KU just lost. The #1 #1 just lost to a #9 in the 2nd round. Really, really??????

Eric had CIRT training (SWAT) today so I took the boys to Lawrence for their St. Patrick’s Day parade. We were going to do the KC one but it was still kind of rainy out at 11. The Lawrence one didn’t start until 1 so I figured the weather would be better for that one.
We got to Lawrence around 11:30 so I spent an hour or so showing them around KU.
First, I showed them Allen Fieldhouse, the campus and my old sorority.
Then on to the Kansas Union where we found lots and lots of Jayhawks to pose with.
Then we headed to GSP, my freshman year dorm. I forgot how ugly that place is. On the way from the Union to GSP, I finally saw that new hotel that went up where The Crossing (our old home away from home) used to be. It looks really nice – I want to stay there.
Then, after 20 minutes of searching for a parking spot, we ended up parking on the street right next to GSP and walking down to Mass Street for the parade.
The parade was great and by the time it was over, the sun was starting to peek out. I bought myself a new shirt from Sunflower, Kenny a KU shirt and Luke a KU jersey. We’re ready for the tournament to begin now:) The boys were so good the entire time and definitely deserved ice cream at Sylas and Maddie’s. Their ice cream is seriously the best out there.
We ended our trip at Campanile. It was so nice out at this point, we didn’t need our coats anymore.
We had a really fun day in Lawrence. Kenny’s already talking about how he can’t wait to go to college there.
You’ve got to brainwash train them young:)
Dear NCAA Tournament Selection Committee,
I love that Kansas got the #1 #1 spot in the brackets. Really, I do. But, the #1 #1 doesn’t usually end up in the hardest bracket. Please remember this in the future.
Thanks,
Me
