We KU fans are beyond blessed

Last night, after KU won another Big 12 tourney championship--on the heels of the league championship and the WUG--I high-fived my son and told him "You have no idea how fortunate you are...how lucky you are...as a fan. Never take this for granted."

Of course, he IS going to take it for granted because he's only 11. From the time he was born (summer '04), KU has won every single Big 12 campaign (12 straight and counting).

Beyond that, we all know the numbers for consecutive tourney appearances, all the 1 seeds, and so on and so forth.

On this final day of the college regular season, prior to the Selection Show, I just want to pause, exhale, and give utmost thanks for this program, this coach, this team (and all those before it), and this amazing fan base. We are truly fortunate to have what we have--beyond blessed--and it's a joy to be just one small stalk of wheat waving in the glorious field with all the others.

Rock Chalk, and Long Live KU!!!

Amen, members of the flock, brothers and sisters, lift the chorus ever onward --

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK KU!

The classic "blessing" dinner scene in Christmas Vacation. If you haven't seen it, never mind!
