jayhawks: "A Game at Allen Fieldhouse" - Life in Lawerence KS
- 07/07/08 08:46 PM
I grew up in an age of loyalty. Sports fans loved their players, and the players loved them back. You had your teams, and you were committed to them, through thick and thin. The players shared the same commitment, and stayed on the same team their entire career, giving much needed order & balance to the universe. By the time we moved to Lawerence, Kansas, I had become pretty disenchanted with professional sports in general. 'Love of the Game' had been replaced by love of the money. The concept of team effort and discipline had become a distant after-thought to self-centered, … (10 comments)

Seems like a lot of HUGE upsets lately. Top seeded teams falling to the unranked and hungry. Who will be the next to fall? Kansas escaped earlier tonight against a relentless Oklahoma team. A win may be a win, but it wasn't very pretty in the second period. Still, the Jayhawks are looking mighty fine coming down the stretch headin' into the beginning of March Madness. They getting a lot of nods from the soothsayers, purveyors, and prognosticators of all things Dance-worthy. As long as we don't play a team whose name starts with a "B," we'll be in great shape! Do you think these top 4 will … (15 comments)
jayhawks: March Madness: "What are Brackets?"
- 12/06/06 03:36 AM
Prior to living here on the beautiful Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State, my family and I lived for 10 years in Lawrence, Kansas, home of Kansas University and the storied "Jayhawks" basketball program. Living in a college town really helped to give us a greater appreciation for collegiate sports. At the time, Roy Williams was the Head Coach and he ran an excellent program. There was never any scandals or recruiting violations that seem to be somewhat commonplace these days, and almost all of the athletes graduated in the top of their class. We quickly became fully vested Jayhawk fans. Next to a day … (15 comments)
