...Gary Bedore confirms it will be celebrated at AFH:

"There figures to be a short trophy presentation and ceremony after the game … if the Jayhawks win."

Just in case anyone was wondering...

Not a fan of court storming here, Big g....but I'd have a hard time flying down the steps of AFH even if I was a court-stormer.....

Question (too lazy to look up): win tonight clinches SOLO title or a still a share?

Not a fan of sharing titles here either, Big g. ;-)

KU only storms for ALL TIME RECORD breaking accomplishments such as #14 surpassing UCLA, surpassing consucky in all time wins, most NCs, and causing the most "crying cheerleaders" games. ;)

ISU & WVU won yesterday, so only a share can be earned tonight.

I'm all for celebrating it in AFH, unfair to the home crowd not to after all the fantastic support it has provided over the decades.

And given the way he came into the conference, it would be sweet to clinch sole ownership against Shaka in Austin.

As for court storming, save it for #14 if it must be done, but I would prefer not. After all, we're talkin' 'bout Phog... The Phog. (Can ya dig it?)

I don't think we storm courts, period. Just my 2 cents. We expect success at AFH.

I was wondering if we'd celebrate. Since we'd clinch a tie tonight and potentially a solo win on Saturday at Texas on Saturday, I'd think it would be classier to celebrate at home, cut down our own nets, etc. It's not always possible to do it, but I'm glad they'll do it that way (assuming we win of course).

Cool that B Rush and Mario will be in the house tonight, for Rush's jersey retirement. Should be a fun night in the old barn.

Unfortunately, I've got a school board meeting at the same time, so I'll be watching via DVR.

The real mystery on everyone's mind is whether or not NotOstertag will change his signature tonight....;)

Not a fan of us court storming, except in one situation. When we win the National Championship game, I am in favor of those watching the game in the Fieldhouse to take over the court! RC!

I was a sophomore in 1988, watching from a friend's dorm room in Hashinger Hall. We stormed campus. ;)

Agreed with wchawk!

The lone occasion. And note that it's not after a live win at AFH.

HE-- I also prefer not.

Seems to be an opportunity for a thug-fest. (recalling the guano-show from the Octagon of Dumb, when (was it Jamari?) got sideswiped intentionally? And our COACH (and team?) getting dangerously slammed into the scorer's table in the handshake line?)

Thanks for the clarification on the shared title implications for tonight.....Rock Chalk, Baby.

I CAN dig it!

Yeah, but it was against Puke, so I tend to forgive them in gratitude for the Dookie L.
