Jayhawk in Texas

I grew up in Kansas. But one job hunt and hiring later, we are now transplants in Texas. We have not missed the strange weather we were used to and everybody here seems genuinely nice. This is my attempt to keep in touch with my friends from all over.

KU = Orange Bowl

Yep, it is true...KU has a football team going to the Orange Bowl. It is hard to imagine. When I was in school, our team did not win. In fact, on the rare occasions we did, we would tear down the goal posts and throw them in Potter Lake. I don't think they have done that this year. It would have cost the universtiy a lot of money. (11-1)

I hope they do well. I will be cheering them on. Since I am in the Austin area, every game day I would wear a KU t-shirt and I had my share of glares but as the season continued on, I had more people coming up to me and wishing us luck. Even more crazy, an ISU friend of mine sent me an IM today simply stating "Go KU". Now, that is something. He normally refers to us as chicken hawks. I even watched the Mizzou game and was glad they won. (I know take my temperature - I must be running a very high fever)

So, think good thoughts about our Jayhawks, they have had a phenominal season. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK - GO KU!

Hope all is well with everyone.

Love,
Marti
