Well they did it! The Jayhawks pulled off a BIG win last night against Memphis for the National Championship title. Of course, David was way too nervous to go to San Antonio on Saturday for the Final Four game against UNC. We definitely didn't want to jinx it! So we had a watch party with my parents, Chad, Dan, Marissa and Brooke. They started off playing unbelievably well! It got pretty intense as UNC picked it up in the second half. But of course, KU picked right back up and secured themselves a spot in Monday's championship game. Everyone was so sweet to sport KU gear and cheer them on all night...well everyone except Marissa who learned when she didn't talk, KU did better. So sweet Marissa didn't say a word for the last 10 minutes of the game!
Jason, one of Dave's close friends, got us tickets from some unhappy UNC fans on Saturday night. So off to San Antonio we went on Sunday!
Love eating outside and think the River Walk is SO fun for that!
But clearly, we were there for more important things!
We had SO much fun with Dave's friends from KU: Dave, me, Amber, Jason, Ben, Lindsey and Andy. Before the game we went to a KU Pep Rally. There were hundreds, maybe thousands of people there. The band and cheerleaders came...they played highlight videos.
Then, we walked to the Alamodome for the game with all of the other KU fans!
The whole experience was AWESOME! I am not going to lie, I was pretty nervous when Kansas was down by 8 with 2 minutes left...but they played SO smart and well! It obviously paid off! Mario Chalmers hit a 3 with 2 seconds left to send the game into OT! I wanted to hit the guy in front of us cheering for Memphis, 'shoot a 4 pointer! now just hold the ball for the last 5 minutes.' These people shouldn't be allowed in the championship games. But the score quieted him in the end! The Jayhawks looked great in OT - finishing the game 75-68 KU.
And the celebrating began!
It was the perfect night - filled with great company and a very memorable performance!
So glad we went and so excited for my happy jayhawk!
