Mea Culpa . . . . Why KU lost last Saturday.

Cal Bear wife and I spent the past couple of weeks in Mexico City.* I left last year's Final Four Jayhawk flag flying as it seemed to get the job done last year. Tattered and torn, with part of the "J" missing from the embroidered "Jayhawks", I departed confident it would see us through.


Well, we just returned only to find the aluminum pole had snapped during a violent storm -- the solar light shattered on the stone wall several feet away. The flag, amazingly still intact, was laying on the ground apparently unable to deliver its "mojo". Although I wasn't home, it's pretty obvious the damage occurred late in the second half. I'm so sorry fellow Rock Chalk Zoners.

I immediately ordered a replacement, and I have a back up flag should it become necessary. Warning!: The new pole will not arrive until the Baylor game. Hence, I may be without it for TCU. I'm working on a McGyver fix. Until then amigos, we'll just have to rely on our mighty 'hawks to take care of busniess .

That has got to be it. I hope the damage was not too severe. The Az St folks probably broke it knowing they did not stand a chance while it was flying high.
