Rhonda should resign…mixing politics in with the KU win is yellow journalism at it’s worst.

Perhaps Rhonda should go to work for Nightlife.

SO?

Don’t you read your own paper Rhonda?

Don’t you read your own threads even?

Why just the other day came the news that McCain is expanding his lead in the beknighted feudal duchy of Kansas.

Be it Senator Clinton or Senator Obama as an opponent, old John will win by 10 points or more.

If there is a bright center to the universe, Kansas is probably the place it is farthest from.

Oh, bullshit – Obama has always said that he was born in Hawaii.

Dumbass.

It’s been a lot of Selfish for five years now unable to find a way to play WSU. Williams had his reasons, Self never had to act the same way.

They may Kansas on their chest, but Wichita is left out. KSU is no better, missed that chance to play with Beasley. At least KSU and WSU were in same tournament with a chance to play each other.

Some KU fans are trying to say BEST TEAM EVER, not quite. Undefeated Indiana is better in history. Duke and Florida repeated Championships.

It’s good to see plays mattered. Need to make free throws to win a game!

Not too many bad ref calls, Ed Hightower didn’t take over the game when his attitude has in other big moments.

I do wish that Kansas would brag a bit more about Naismith, the man who INVENTED basketball, who was the first basketball coach at KU.

Teddy Roosevelt once called the “Rock Chalk Jayhawk” cheer the BEST college sports cheer ever.

And, of course, the “Jayhawk” history itself, with the REPUBLICAN, Free Soil, anti-slavery movement is very interesting to any history buff:

This is a time to be proud.

I saw courage and sportsmanship and teamwork last night.

I spend lots of time on the phone, with people all over the country.

Kansans are admired by many people, nationwide, in no small part because of teams like the KU Jayhawks.

Not quite.

I said men’s basketball was dominated by outsized freaks.

College athletics and particular basketball, I could not care less.

I’m waiting for the mad rush to end on the t-shirts with the logo. Figured my nephews would like some for Christmas. Might get a sweat shirt for myself as well, so I can keep all warm and toasty. :)

Is there a person any more naive than I am!?

Just inside the store in the center aisle were several EMPTY tables with 20 – 30 people standing around them talking. I ambled close enough to hear the truck was on its way and should arrive by 2 p.m. Someone from among the “waiters” would occasionally dial up the East Dick’s and SportsTime so I knew those stores were also waiting on the trucks en route from Lawrence.

After shopping for an hour I return to wait with a bit larger group around the empty tables. Again some are checking other locations via cell phones and this seems to be “THE PLACE” to be.

A large box arrives around 1:45 and everyone crowds closer. Inside this box were caps. We all touch them and admire the National Champs logo. Questions about the t-shirts are answered with more indefinite, “the truck is on its way” mumbles, maybe by 4 p.m.

I’m home. Did you know those exact shirts are available on-line!?

Such it is with liars.

Oops.

The key is that the Kansas Jayhawks played their game, never game up and stuck it out until the end.

Awesome job, dudes, regardless of the naysayers. You deserve the accolades!

I know, and agree, LJ. Cripes, it’s bad enough they do it and we know they do it, but don’t be stupid (them, not you, LJ) to advertise the fact!
