Forest of the Plains

Since my favorite team is out of the tournament, we've become fair-weather KU fans. I've never really been against KU, just not really for them either. And their flagish colors make it difficult for me to wear any of their apparel.

We watched the game on Saturday, even watched some of the pre- and post- game shows. We were confused and amused by the "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" thing that the KU players did for CBS. Neither one of us knew what they were doing. Thanks to the power of google, I learned that we've been living in the dark. Apparently that chant is "perhaps the most distinctive cheer in all of college sports" and has been around since 1866.

Also, I can't believe how UNC just forgot to show up the first half of the game on Saturday. What an embarrassment to their team, UNC, and the tournament. A Final Four game should have been much better than it was.

I hope tonight is an opportunity to watch some good basketball!
