Jayhawk glory

As a fan of Kansas basketball, I must say that I've been relishing this season more than ever. Two weeks after the victory over Memphis, this fan is still riding high of the waves of one of the most memorable comebacks that this game has has ever seen. Many accolades are extended to the young men who brought the national championship home to the hallowed Allen Fieldhouse. The pride and joy this most unselfish team has brought the Jayhawk faithful goes beyond what words can describe.

I will never forgot the 2007-08 season as I had the opportunity to witness not only my 1st game in person at Allen Fieldhouse this year, but a second came also. The latter being the sweetest Valentine I've ever received. A gift from my dad to attend the home game against CU in which they celebrated the 110 years of basketball at the hallowed university. It was chilling to witness the hundreds of players that remain committed to the program fill the wooden court and be recognized by the fans who so deeply love all that has come from the program over the years. Getting to experience the game with my mom, dad and sister was icing on the cake, as we've witnessed so many games together on TV, starting before the first national championship of my lifetime in 1988.

This team is a special one. There are several of the players who have the ability to do what Michael Beasley did for the Wildcats, but their coach, Bill Self, will forever be revered for taking those 15 players and turning them into a team to achieve undoubtedly some of the most impressive statistics in the history of basketball for team play. This is something we all should strive for in our day to day lives. Not individual recognition, but personal sacrifices for the greater good. And now we're left to savor the victory and look torward the building of another legacy of basketball in this great state. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!
