Our KU flag has had a banner year starting with football and on through basketball season.
With the Final Four in San Antonio again March Madness was even more fun. We love to follow the college hoops season - both men and women. The Alamo City has hosted several NCAA events that we have enjoyed since living here and the Big Dance is the most recent. Friday we went to the Alamodome to watch the 4 teams practice. We arrived to see UCLA and then North Carolina before the Jayhawks took the floor. It was fun to see NC's Love shoot his trademark long distance shots across the floor.In the picture(left) you can see the ball after it drops through the basket to the floor. He had lobbed it from the far baseline corner.
Monday downtown was rockin' with blue shirts - mostly Jayhawkers. We heard the river pep rally sitting on a bridge through several stoplights before we secured a parking spot nearby.The weather was typical for San Antonio this time of year - perfect! - and along the river all were enjoying the wait for the big game. Several venues around town were set up for fans to enjoy. We spent the time at the Band Stage at the entrance to Hemisfair Park. Although there were vendors hawking all kinds of yummy things we ate an early supper at a nearby Mexican restaurant before listening to the entertainment. We didn't
find any tickets for sale - prices were so high. The best seat for us was back home in our jammies. A tight game was made even more fun by sharing the excitement with our daughter on the phone during halftime.
