    Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

    Congratulations to the Kansas Jayhawks! It was a great game and my team won. Congratulations to Memphis also, they had a great season and played a great game. As Bill Self said, they could probably play them 10 times and go 5-5.

    There are no classes in Lawrence tomorrow, no one will be in shape to study anyway.

    Congrats to the 'Hawks on a great season and a great win. As a 3rd generation Gator, I have recent recollection of that feeling... (although it's a foggy recollection, as I partied down after the last two tourneys... )

      Congrats on your team winning. That's a great feeling that everyone should experience in their lifetime. I remember when the White Sox won the World Series in 2005. I never thought I'd see that in my time on this planet.

        It was such an exciting game it made me stay up past my bedtime. Congrats to both teams for a great game.

        On a somewhat related note, unfortunately, is the hidden negative side of college basketball: its dismal graduation rates for athletes. NC was the only final 4 team to graduate more than half of its b-ball players: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...040403086.html.

        As the article notes, less than 1% of college athletes go on to play pro ball.

        In my opinion this is an ongoing scandal, and I wish as much attention would get paid to having athletes actually finish school and get a degree as to making the Sweet 16.

          We always called them "Chickenhawks" when I was in college but congratulations on the win.

            All I gotta say is... Bah Humbug.

            Congrats Bill.
