March 22, 2009 – 4:48 pm

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; [...]

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

December 31, 2008 – 6:02 pm

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

November 29, 2008 – 5:25 pm

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

November 2, 2008 – 1:21 pm

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

April 8, 2008 – 6:32 am

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

April 7, 2008 – 11:56 pm

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

April 7, 2008 – 8:33 pm

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

April 6, 2008 – 11:40 am

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

April 5, 2008 – 11:51 pm

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 [...]
