So, I have decided to come out of hibernation to declare that I am so very proud to be living in the city that is home to the Kansas Jayhawks, the 2008 NCAA Basketball National CHAMPIONS!!!

I am not someone that appreciates sports much outwardly, but I have a special place in my heart for Basketball. It runs in my blood. I love it secretly, and it wasn’t something that I was able to share with Rohan while we lived in Australia. He couldn’t understand why my family was so excited about the Hawks this year. Saturday’s game against UNC was nice and all. But last night’s game was too much. I am proud to have been witness to this moment in history (video found courtesy of Whoorl) - Check out the clock as the flawless three-pointer ties the game:

When some thought all was lost with 10.8 seconds left, that beautiful shot enabled KU to tie up, and go on to win the game in overtime. It really helped Rohan to understand why we would choose to scream and jump up and down and collectively lose our shit over some very talented boys with a ball running up and down a court. Amazing. I have never felt such unbridled joy. Joy shared with the 40,000 others that descended upon Mass Street afterwards to celebrate the unbelievable Jayhawks that would not give up.

We will now return to our regularly scheduled hibernation. I might come out to play after I get my taxes done. I miss y’all.
