Yeah, I think this sort of thing has been pointed out here before

but it’s worth repeating nonetheless. A lot of people complain about the “cupcakes” we play during November & December, but even though we’re not playing BCS conference teams every game, we still try to schedule teams that are at the top or near the top of their conferences. I recall several years ago (I think it was Simien/Miles/Langford’s senior season) we ended up with the number 1 RPI even though our record wasn’t very good because almost every team we played in the non-conference season won their individual conferences and made the tournament. It was pretty crazy, as I recall.

Operation Final Four is a go. Proceed to target.

We don’t make t-shirts like some schools… but a brief celebration is in order, no? Bump this and have yourself a 3:19 dance party. You’ve earned it, Jayhawk nation!

T-SHIRTS!!!! Please PRINT UP T-SHIRTS!!!

I stuck a sign in my front yard and made a commemorative DVD of everything I did today in honor of being #1 again. It will be available for sale on blu ray soon. Also I have a commemorative photo of me standing in front of the TV that I watched us win and Syracuse lose on…it will also be for sale later this week. Hopefully Lew doesn’t come after me for copyright infringement.
