That is all. I’ll be back in April to gloat but for now I am wrapping myself in a cocoon of college frenzy. ---

Having a sister who went to KU (and was very close friends with [Danny Manning](http://www.nba.com/playerfile/danny_manning/index.html)[sup]\*[/sup] and [Kevin Pritchard](http://www.kansascityknights.com/news/article.cfm?article_id=1250)), rooting for the Jayhawks was (and is) a requirement in our family, lest we be disowned for being a traitor. Thought you might enjoy [this article](http://www.kansan.com/stories.asp?id=200203130003). 😃 **Go Jayhawks!** [sup]\*[/sup]Does anyone have any idea just how tall 6’ 10" is? I was eye-level with that man’s _waist_! He’s TAAAAAALL! * * * I really appreciate your consideration in avoiding stepping on my penis - **Spiny Norman** [symbol][sub][sup]©[/sup][/sub][/symbol] Jeg elsker dig, Thomas [symbol][sub][sup]©[/sup][/sub][/symbol] ---

Of course, being a KSU grad, I don’t have any room to talk. Except for the women. Go Cats! GES ---

I wish I had a JayHawk. Or a SeaHawk or a Black Hawk. Even a Huey would be nice. Or a Jet Ranger. But I’d settle for a 300CB or an R-22. ---

So does Kansas always like to give their fans a first-half scare like that? ---

I think they panicked at first but at least the responded and came back in the end. It was a great game to watch and I’m not a big basketball fan… or a KU fan. Being born and raised in Manhattan I’m a Wildcat fan through and through. So, **Green Eyed Stranger** , when did you go to K-State? ---

Got my bachelor’s in 1993, and my master’s in 1995. I like to say that Bill Snyder and I got there at the same time 😃 GES
