Rock Chalk Nation Wakes Up (+ bonus links)

So much has happened in the last 14 hours... where to start? I agree with Tom Keegan & Ryan Greene that the hatchet is now buried between KU fans and Roy. We can remember those 15 years as a good thing.

BTW, as I'm writing, Dominic (who's supposed to be napping) is instead jumping in his crib and singing the tune about a Christmas Donkey... it's catchy.

If we were back in Lawrence with a lot of kids, i.e. we couldn't watch the game at a bar drinking beer, we probably would have watched the game at Allen Fieldhouse with this crowd. I bet they even bring out newspapers and jump and down & yell before the tipoff.


However, after the game was finished we probably would have made our way downtown to Mass St. and join the party -- which is easily, like, 1000 times bigger than it was last weekend when we were there:


At the other end of Mass St is where Liesel's parents were. We looked for them in 6News' coverage of the party, but couldn't see them. We did get a call from the Kaiser at 12 AM, when he told us that he'd had his beverage taken away by Lawrence's Finest - good thing we weren't quite asleep yet.

We TOTALLY have to give a shout out to all our friends who we called last night!! Michelle, Ann, Katie, Rick -- ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!!

Cole Aldrich is the most famous college basketball player in the world this morning because he got caught on film dunking on Psycho T - and this picture is on the cover of every newspaper in the world, or at least Dayton's.

I'm putting all those videos from 6News and YouTube in my favorites folder, you know, to plan ahead. Maybe I can make a cool highlight reel someday:

I can only imagine the run on championship stuff during the last 2 weeks. Did the bars on Mass St run out of beer again, or did they stock up extra just in case?

Last link: this is Dominic's new favorite Sesame Street video:
