Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KU

Last night was a fun night to be in Lawrence KS. KU beat Davidson to make it to the final four and the town went wild! Check out the video. Students and families alike all came out to show their support for KU. People flooded Mass St. and horns were going off. The crowd was shouting the KU chant and it was a huge street party! I have only lived in kansas for 3 years and I grew up in NC so there was a little cinderella cheer for Davidson. Davidson is the prettiest little community on Lake Norman and I spent a lot of time there-this should really put that town on the map! They almost beat KU. If the last 3pointer they through up at the last second would have gone in, they would have won!!! The kids were really into the game, or maybe it was the brownies at the party that they were so excited about! But once we got downtown to the street festivities, they were chanting rock chalk jayhawk go KU! They have a song they sing, "Derek is a jayhawk red and blue with a beak and yellow shoes!" I think they had more fun than Jeff! Jeff had to breathe before he could enjoy the celebration! He was really concerned that Davidson might pull it out!
