Well, I just finished watching my beloved Kansas Jayhawks lose to the UCLA Bruins in the Elite Eight. I am crushed yet again by my boys in blue and white. Every year I get my hopes up and every year they come oh so close and never live up to my expectations. Now don't get me wrong, i am not placing unfair expectations on these guys. I mean they were a #1 seed and had won 14 straight until tonight. They won the regular season Big 12 title and the Big 12 Tournament championship. And they proceeded to play horribly tonight when it mattered.
Now I have been watching Kansas basketball since almost before I can remember. My dad's parents are from Kansas so that is where my loyalty started. From a very young age i can remember watching and rooting for the Jayhawks like a rabid dog. I remember watching them win the national championship in 1988 and being SO incredibly excited. But ever since then I get so wrapped up in them that I get so dissapointed when they lose. It's not like I even went to Kansas University, but I sure feel like I did.
So, I am crushed and must wait for another year to roll around so I can place all of my hopes and dreams on a single team to win it all. Gotta love college basketball.
