We moved back to the area a couple of years ago and built a house here in Lawrence. The basement is a shrine to KU. The photo is just a small part of the layout — a KU football field/putting green. View photo »
I have a friend who bought what he calls the "2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Shoes". They were purchased right after the loss to Oklahoma State. They also require a piece of duck tape on the heel to avoid a blister that began with their first wearing, which was promptly added at halftime of the Davidson game after he forgot to put it on. The addition of the Jayhawk socks came as a gift. The foot ensemble is ONLY worn on game day! We all believe they are the lucky charm. View photo »

Hi, my name is Grace and I have been a Jayhawk basketball fan my whole life. My mommy was 18 and a freshman at KU when the Jayhawks won their last championship. She calls me her "20 Year Charm" since I am a miracle baby, and now the Jayhawks will win the Championship again. I have several shirts I wear on non-game days, but during the tournament I have to wear a blue Jayhawk t-shirt bought from Hy-Vee for me by my Uncle Andy. It is the only shirt that works ... we had to change in the middle of the Davidson game because I was wearing the wrong shirt. Later that evening, I threw up on the lucky shirt when we were walking on Mass Street, but no one noticed. View photo »

My room is covered wall to wall with KU basketball paraphenelia. I don't miss a game and only wear KU t-shirts to workout in. My walls are now painted crimson and blue with a yellow ceiling. If you aren't a KU fan, don't ever come to my room! My ultimate goal is to have the national champs (2008 KU basketball team — because I have confidence in them) to sign my walls! View photo »

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!". View photo »

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. View photo »
