I was boppin’ around the interwebs in prep for the big game tonight and I came across the player introduction video from Allen Fieldhouse this year. If you didn’t make it to a game this season (we did early on) then I suggest you give the video a look ’cause it gives me chills every time.

Being that our first coach was a guy named Naismith, who invented basketball, KU fans are very passionate about their b-ball history. Needless to say this video pulls no punches in making fans nostalgic and excited to see their team crush opponents.

As most of you know I’m not a big sports guy, I’ll see a couple MLB games and watch soccer on TV, but I’m extremely passionate about my Jayhawks. I haven’t been this in love with a team since my sophomore year…and we made it to the championship back then. This year…well, let’s just say I don’t want to jinx it. :)

Update: We won. By a lot.

Update 2: We beat Kentucky too. Sweet Sixteen here we come.
