beak 'em, hawks

I'm definitely psyched about KU becoming the national champs last night! During the second half, I'd sort of accepted that Memphis would win, so that three from Chalmers at the end of regulation was amazing. And coming back from a nine point deficit in the last two minutes of reg? Awesome.

Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy the second half/overtime as much as I would have liked because my cat went missing during almost that whole time, so any commercial break had us all deployed throughout the house looking/calling for her and then I would miss parts of the game and then I eventually started to get sort of worried. I didn't really see any of the overtime because I was looking, and then I finally decided to look outside, which was sort of crazy since no one had gone outside all evening. In the very dark backyard, I caught a glimpse of her and started to move toward her, begging her not to run away from me. She did. But not too far. I really didn't want her to go in the bushes or run out of the yard since it was so dark and I wouldn't have been able to see where she was. I was finally able to nab her, run her inside, and secure her in her carrier for the rest of the evening until I went home. When I did get back to the game, there were 56 seconds left in overtime and it looked really good for KU, which was exciting. Even though I was still sort of worked up about the whole Nibbert situation, I was glad she was captured before the end of the game so I could at least enjoy the win a little more! It was a long 20 years since the last one. I remember watching that win (sporadically, since, as a six-year-old, I was also interested in playing with my friends during it), and making little signs on notecards saying "Go KU!" and "OU" inside a circle with a slash through it. I loved Danny Manning. This is a weird end to the post, but I've got nothing else.
