You know, no matter how bleek the economy gets, how crappy work gets, or how cranky my 3-yr old daughter gets, there is always one thing that will put a smile on my face. My University of Kansas Jayhawks!!!! For those that don't know, I am a diehard Jayhawks fan and alumni.
After spending a shitty day at work which started at 5:30am, working from home, then getting into the office at 7:40, and not leaving until 12 hours later.......it sucked. I did get 10 minutes to eat lunch, though. Well, there was only one thing that could brighten my day, the BIG MONDAY matchup pitting my #15 Jayhawks at #3 Oklahoma. Now, to put into perspective the magnitude of the game, and what it means to KU, this is a team that was supposed to be rebuilding. They are fresh off a National Championship, losing their 6 top players, 5 to the NBA, with a Junior PG in Sherron Collins with significant playing time, they were picked to finish 4th or 5th in the Big 12 and have a so-so year!
Well, they go into tonights game, 11-1, and 22-5 overall! Well, they play OU who has been dominant all year, but they are playing without player of the year candidate Blake Griffin. And we capitalized, coming back from down 14 in the first half, to lead by 7 at half, to up 20 in the second, to exchanging 3 pointers to keep the score from 3 up to 6 up!!!! KU WINS!!!!!!! Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich, and Tyshawn Taylor lead the team to an 87-78 victory, tops in the Big 12 and on the cusp of winning 5 straight regular season titles. I Love IT!!!! So, forget about work, this has been a great day, especially watching those Boomer Sooners get ROCK CHALKED!!!!!!!!!
