Rock Chalk

in Life

I live in an area where people could care less about collegiate sports, which is a tad frustrating for a die hard like me. Why, just over the past couple of days, several people have asked if some sort of “basketball tournament thingy” was going on.

Seriously, people? YOU KILL ME.

Whatever. People have different interests, hobbies, blahdeedah.

However, if you aren’t even remotely enthused by this unbelievable last-second shot (which led to overtime), well, you just don’t have a soul.

Congratulations to my alma mater, the University of Kansas, winners of the 2008 NCAA Basketball Championship.

(Mario, call me.)

Wait! I hear you grumbling…some of you STILL don’t care. Fine. Try to deny this cuteness.

    Rock Chalk Jayhawk – GO KU!!!! I have never been so happy to be living in Lawrence! What an amazing game! Nice of Roy to support his ‘boys’ even after we kicked UNC’s patootis!!! I just hope we don’t lose Bill Self to OU.

    I’m an Aggie so it’s nice to see someone from our conference win the championship. It was a good game. I’m sure Wito’s Jayhawk love is what gave them that extra bit of oomph they needed to send it to overtime.

    I don’t get the unenthused. I really don’t. Amazing game.

    Big 12 baby! Basically that is the absolute cutest Wito performance i have seen to date. I just can’t help but imagine him saying GO STATE! (oklahoma state that is)

    Whoot! Whoot! Kansas! Awesome game.

    Although it’s a little bittersweet because I had Memphis winning on my bracket (I’m sorry! No offense to your alma mater!). I was kicking butt so hard right down to this Final game! Oh well. I’m still stocked – NCAA Basketball tourneys sooooo rock!

    Hey Whoorl,

    I’ve been lurking for about 9 months now, and I did not know until now that you are a fellow KU alum. I graduated in 1998. I think we are the same age, so perhaps you graduated the same year?

    That was quite a game. I thought both teams played an amazing game, but clearly Kansas played better. I really am surprised by Amanda’s comment, though, that:

    “I hate Memphis with the white hot passion of a million blazing suns”

    Come on, please. Did they kill your puppy? These are just kids playing a game. You win some, you lose some. No need to “hate.”

    I’m from North Carolina, so all I have to say is “Bah”.

    Bah.

    I am a Memphis Alum so I have to say Congrats. The game was definitely close one. Kansas played a good game.

    ROCK CHALK!!!! The reason I linked to you (from Linda’s site) was that you’re a Jayhawk. I am OLD school, baby. Was there for ’88 win. Have to say was ELATED for this win!! I was so manic/depressive over this game as I was in Virginia for my grandmother’s funeral. Cannot believe that after 20 years of a-hopin’ and a-prayin’ they finally do it at a time I can’t really celebrate. Oh well, me and my younger sister (fellow alum) went crazy over the win. She actually reminded me 4 minutes before OT that in ’88 we won in OT. So I was all: “if it goes into overtime, we win!” And by gum that’s what happened!! Cannot tell you how thrilled I am. They are going to have a parade on Sunday and I am SO there. Anyway, ROCK CHALK!!

    I have been lurking around here for awhile, but I just realized you are a fellow KU alum. I must admit I made both of my little girls stay up to celebrate and drug them both to Lawrence on Tuesday in the cold to welcome back the Hawks. You have to start ’em early.

    It’s a great time to be a Jayhawk… ROCK CHALK!
