National Champions!!!

Title says it all...plain and simple. But for those of you non-college bball fans, Kansas won the D-I Mens basketball title last night in an overtime thriller against the Memphis Tigers. I will admit, I lost faith, left K&A Wags house and drove home. Got home, watched the winning shot and felt embarrassed for being such a no-faith guy. But holly cow...we won. Really? Did we? Someone pinch me! I guess if buying a MINI brings good luck to Kansas I'm gonna need a new job to supply my generous amounts of good luck. But I did pick her up today, I need to name it though...any suggestions?

I did a little video clip section a couple weeks back at the beginning of the tournament on which game had the better game winning shot. This one by far is number one in my book, but I'm biased, what can I say? Rock Chalk Jayhawk KKKKKKKKK UUUUUUUU

UNC-ya!!

Yes, Roy, they did do that to you! I know of late that the posts have sort of gotten off of the ole environ topic of late, but its because I've been busy purchasing a car and getting caught up in KU's run into the Final Four. Last night, headed over to K&A Wags and caused a ruckus, but in all of the yelling, stomping, and pacing KU held off the late charge by the Tar Heels to earn a trip to their first title game since 2003. Hopefully we will be saying Rock Chalk Jayhawk at the end, instead of Rock 'Choke' Jayhawk as the critics like to say. But we beat Roy, so my beef with him is done...Enjoy your Sunday!

Kwags, RAC and Carolina Blue

Saturday is the Big Day...KU -vs- North Carolina. I have since found out that RAC and Kwags which is the K in K&A Wags are traitors. We can even throw my mom into the mix. What is this craziness I speak of? They all have UCLA beating KANSAS in the championship game of their brackets. If they happen to beat North Carolina this weekend and then play UCLA in the championship game and then loose. All friendship is off. It should make for some interesting tension in the office over the next couple of days. I'm just teasing, but how can you vote against my boys? haha

Parrains is a Star
My friend Sigle was back in town for the night on his way around the south selling college apparel. He said he wanted to try some authentic sea food and what better place to do it than in "The Rouge." I suggested Parrains, knowing that he would not be disappointed. If you do happen to stop by, be sure to try out the fried alligator and the list of sea food options is pretty good, you will not be dissapointed.

Afterwards we headed down to Red Star bar for a few drinks and call it a night. Wednesday nights are Karaoke night and have "the champagne" of beers on tap for free till 10 (Miller High Life). Red Star will also be hosting the upcoming Yuri's Night party for "The Rouge."

Yuri's Night, April 12th, celebrates the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin in 1961 and the first launch of the space shuttle 20 years later. It is a world wide party to celebrate space and the exploration of space. "The Rouge's" party will be a celebration of the artistic expression of space by local artists as well local music. If you're around, be sure to check it out. Details can be found here.
Cheers!

'Dying' for a Final Four

Get your PAAS off my Eggs!
Yes, I know that Easter has come and gone. I successfully found all of those eggs that my parents had hid in my apartment, but its just not 'Easter' without dying some eggs. Its been a family tradition for as long as I can remember and it is something that RAC and I have done for the past two Easters. We wanted to continue that tradition, albeit a tad bit late, but nonetheless we did get to dye.

The results were not bad, but in my cheapness I bought the PAAS egg dying kit that did not come with the 'magic' crayon in which you can write things and the dye does not stick. those that you see with the white lines were created using rubber bands. Makes for some interesting looks and I give credit to RAC for keeping me focused on the dying task at hand, because KU was playing this years NCAA Cinderella story, Davidson.

Four, the Final Four
The game, Kansas -vs- Davidson was an ugly, frustrating game for 39 minutes and 59 seconds. Davidson took my team to the brink causing much angst and cursing throughout the game. In the end, Davidson struggled to get an open look and for the first time all four #1 seeds are in the Final four. KU will play North Carolina next Saturday, Rock Chalk Jayhawk, KU!!!!
