Sweet 16, Again

Rock Chalk Jayhawk! The Kansas Jayhawks have advanced to the Sweet 16 in the Men’s NCAA Basketball championship, with a 60-43 win over Dayton. My brackets have them advancing to the Elite 8 next weekend, and falling a bit short against Louisville in Midwest Regional Championship game next weekend.
No money is at stake this year; [...]

Approaching an 0-fer

Let’s recap: four NFL playoff games this weekend; 3 played.
Number of my teams of choice that have won: 0.
NCAA Basketball:
The Kansas Jayhawks lost1.
Last NFL Game: San Diego vs Pittsburgh. My heart’s choice: San Diego2. Probable winner: Pittsburgh. Nonetheless, hope springs eternal, and I’ll be rooting for the winner of this one to claim all [...]

Off into the Revelry we Go

For several years now, my little bride and I, along with three other couples, meet on New Year’s Eve, for dinner and dancing. It’s pretty cool, I guess. Big Band kinda music, balloons, noisemakers, and the whole shittaree. BYOB – reminds me of my years in “dry” Kansas.
I like the [...]

Outstanding State-Line Performance

Two of the best NCAA football games I’ve seen in a while were played today and yesterday, in what ESPN calls Rivalry Weekend. Last night, in a nail-biter if there ever was one, Nebraska prevailed:

One rarely sees a 57-yard field goal in the NFL, let alone the NCAA. But that’s actually what the Huskers’ [...]

Another The Game

I meant to blog this yesterday; the laptop upgrade intervened. In what is The Game for Kansans, expatriate Kansans, and fans of intrastate rivalries in general:
Kansas 52, Kansas State 21
Kansans realize that this is The Game; back in the day, it might be the only game either team would win all season. Both programs have [...]

Out of Uniform

To commemorate last night’s Kansas basketball triumph, I’m forsaking my all-black garb for one day only. Today, appearing in a shabby cubicle near you, will be an old man attired in a tasteful white polo shirt, with an understated Jayhawk embroidered on the left breast.
It’s the least I can do. My little bride [...]

National Champions

The Kansas Jayhawks. Over a scrappy, tough, and worthy Memphis Tiger team. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

One Hour

Time left until the tip-off of the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship game. I’m 110% for the Kansas Jayhawks, while trying to remind myself that at some level, this is just a game. I just want to see both teams play their best; that is what got them both on center stage tonight. I [...]

Seasonal Header Graphic

To commemorate the Kansas Jayhawks’ ascendance to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game, I thought it appropriate to adorn the old blog header. From the Flicker, and Jeff Croft, this panorama of historic Allen Fieldhouse.
I loved this description of Allen that Jeff posted with the picture:
Feels like the Lambeau Field of college basketball, [...]

Fictional Birds can Too Fly

The Kansas Jayhawks have another date with destiny on Monday, as they have advanced to the championship round in the men’s NCAA basketball tournament. My little bride and I will be tuned in at 9:21 EDT on Monday, as the Jayhawks take on Memphis for the crown.
My only regret is that I can’t [...]
