Before I knew better, I was a huge KSU fan and anti-KU. I am so grateful I discovered the light a few years ago and need to make up for lost time. What can I say, I am obsessed with KU now. This is all about the greatness of KU and not me. Hail to KU and Rock Chalk Jayhawk.

He drew it freehand while looking at the KU sweatshirt he was wearing (upside down)! What a sweet time to be a Jayhawk.

My wife and I, alumni of KU, were relieved and proud to see our two-month-old son had become a Jayhawk fan. Hopefully he won't get spoiled by knowing nothing other than a national championship team!

My son Kyle and I attended the home coming rally yesterday. He was so excited! He was showing off his tattoo with pride but after 2 hours of waiting he tired out and slept through the whole rally. The caption I use for the sleeping picture is "Oh the memories.....LOL!".
