Curse of the B's?

Most people who know me, know that I am a HUGE fan of the Kansas Jayhawks. It is my alma mater and it is very difficult not to get swept up with basketball fever when you attend the school. Truth be told, I loved basketball even before attending KU. I am such a fan that anything that can be decorated with a Jayhawk is much to the chagrin of my Kansas St. Wildcat husband. When we found out Tyler was a boy- my decorating scheme drifted towards my favorite team. I had to be fair though because he is technically half Wildcat. So he has elements of both teams in his room. I kinda want his picture of Allen Field House and his 2008 Championship pennant in my own mom cave.

I tend to be a mouthy fan. I will defend my Jayhawks to the death even when I know deep down they aren't playing at their best. There are a few players on this years team that I just don't love (sorry Brady Morningstar and Tyshawn Taylor) even though they both have stepped up as of late. My favorite Jayhawk this year is Thomas Robinson. He sometimes gets a little ahead of himself but I love his heart. He had an amazing game against Mizzou. He story is compelling too- lost his mother right before the K-State game this year. He has a very young (9?) sister and I am praying for both of them.

So all of this is in anticipation of March Madness. It started yesterday and this time of year it is great to be a stay at home mom. I don't have to sneak a look at the scores on my computer. I can watch every game if I want- though I usually don't. My beloved Jayhawks play tomorrow night and I hope we can kick the B curse (Bucknell, Bradley, Butler, anyone?). We are super jinxed though by the talking heads at ESPN and even Pres. Obama. I will be cheering for (oh who are we kidding- silently cheering against) the Wildcats tonight with the Hubs. Until tomorrow- Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
