Last night, the Jayhawks lost, shamefully bounced in the NCAA’s first round. This morning, I propped up my weakened frame with coffee and despondently watched lesser teams advance. Why? Why them and not us?
Why do people trip over cracks in the sidewalk? Why do birds fly into windows? One suspects the answer, a propos to the KU question, is something like “Because they don’t anticipate the resistance.”
However, that may fail to do justice to the deeper query. How come the ‘Hawks couldn’t grind out a win like they have over and over this season?
Like shadows, a mournful silence lengthens in the room.
Why is the world round? Why is the sea blue?
Some questions will never be answered.

I finally got through! Lion, it's been impossible to post a comment here lately.
Congratulations on a successful KU season. Losing Simien and Langford for stretches created extreme adversity for the Jayhawks that, for the most part, they battled through.
(I had 'em in the Elite Eight. Wake, Syracuse, and UConn all fell...the world's gone mad)
Join the Illini bandwagon like Bill Self has, I'm sure. There's some room over by me.
Thanks for the kleenex, man. Underachievement aside, you do have to love the KU seniors.
Self has been undergoing a media barrage lately, but you're right, I'll bet he's pulling for his boys. Go Illini, beat the Tarheels!
I wonder if anyone else has been having trouble with comments. I've been thinking about switching platforms...
I think Blogger comments get hosed up sometimes, the server is not responsive and times out. HaloScan is easy to use if you want to switch, plus they have a wizard that will automagically convert your blog template to use their system as long as you have Blogger comments enabled, which you obviously do.
