I hadn't planned on drinking much, but put a couple heavy stouts in the fridge. Meant to have one in the first half and then a celebratory beer if they won.

Started on the first one about 30 minutes prior to tip and didn't even nurse it long enough to make it to gametime (and note, these are like 15%, they're sippers)..... then said fuck it at halftime and opened the celebratory beer, because I was either going to suffer through the 2nd half with great beer or they would make the comeback (or at least not look like ass).

Same beer I opened after the SB win, actually.

I don't normally like to boast, however this is the morning for it. All of you KU fans are welcome. Thanks to my selflessness, KU is a National Champion this morning.

I started the game with a chew in; KU opened up the game and was looking to run away with it. I admittedly got a little more comfortable with the game than I should have, got rid of my chew and started drinking. Immediately KU started struggling and ended the half down 15.

I drank a couple beers in the 1st half & then had a mixed drink at half - but I realized that this is what I have been training for and that my teammates needed me now more than ever. So before the 2nd half started, I had another chew and kept it in through the rest of the game. The rest is history.

I'll need someone that can get in contact with Bill Self to let him know he'll need to order an extra championship ring as I'm now officially part of the team - dare I say the most important member of the team & staff. And for those of you that are real fans of KU, I will accept cash and gifts (minimum $100) as a thank you for bringing this team from the jaws of defeat into victory.

Couple stories of real perseverance there boys. Good work

Sometimes you have to sacrifice to get what you want. My teammates & I wanted a ring, so it was a sacrifice I was willing to do.

Hasn't anyone found a championship shirt that doesn't look like it was made with Microsoft Word clip art?

I made my 3 year old stay up for the whole game.

Taught him to Wave the Wheat as the team celebrated. Nothing beats moments like that.

I have also been to 2 away/neutral site KU games in my life. 2008 @ Texas & 2022 @ Fort Worth for the 1st round. I'm not saying that me going to games is what leads to KU National Championships, but can you prove otherwise?

If I actually believed any of that, I would gladly give you $100.

That was the score of the 1991 Final Four game between Kansas and Duke, except Duke won.

Maybe don't wait another 15 years this time, bud!

14 years, but I get your point. Next year is the KC regional site and I'll make sure I'm there.
