OK, KG, I have to ask. Why the fixation with Kansas basketball? Did you go there?

No...but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express in Kansas once. :)


If you really want the history....I became a KC Chiefs fan in October 1991. There was a MNF game at Arrowhead between the (then) defending AFC champion Bills and the upstart KC Chiefs. The Chiefs were terrible throughout much of the 70's and 80's, but were on the rise in the early 1990's. In the game, the KC defense sacked Jim Kelly countless times, forced many turnovers, and ran the ball down Buffalo's throats (courtesy of Christian Okoye). The fans at Arrowhead were louder than any fans I'd ever seen/heard. I fell in love with the KC Chiefs on that night. (KC won the game, 33-6, but it wasn't even that close)

As for the Jayhawks, in the mid 90's I worked for a company that was HQd in Topeka, and visited there a few times a year. At the time, I liked college hoops but didn't really root for anyone. Well, after a few trips in Lawrence when I was out there, I became a huge Jayhawks fan. While I also root for other college teams (Gonzaga, West Virginia), you won't find a bigger Jayhawk fanatic. I tape every game, and watch it afterwards at least one additional time.

And anytime I need some perking up, I replay the KU/UNC Final 4 game in 2008. That game is just too sweet to watch!!!! Watching that game is like watching Dexter successfully hunt down a bad guy. :)
