Why I am doing this!

So I received some feedback on this blog from a great friend of mine and I decided to take it to heart. One thing he said to me was keep posts short and also inform the audience on a little background on why I created this blog. So here it is:

I graduated from the University of Kansas in December of 2008. As a KU student and now an alum, KU sports plays a major role in my day to day life. As a Freshman at KU, my first actual experience of KU athletics was during the Jayhawks invitational when a friend's brother's AAU team was coming to play in a tournament on campus. There I saw soon to be Jayhawk Cole Aldrich. I was not impressed with Cole but more so with how many people were in attendance of this tournament and right then and there I was hooked on KU sports. I went to baseball games, volleyball games, men's and women's basketball games, football games and of course tennis matches. KU athletics is a lot different than any other school in the country. We have something known as the "Jayhawk Nation". Anywhere you go in the country you will find a Jayhawk. I currently live in NYC right now and whenever I wear a Jayhawk shirt, I hear Rock Chalk at least twice a day walking down the streets. That is the "Jayhawk Nation".

Lastly, the reason behind this post is quite simple. Every Jayhawk loves to talk about Jayhawk sports. If you attended the University of Kansas for your entire degree or just partially, you want to hear, read and talk about KU sports. Nothing is more exciting than talking about why Roy Williams and Bill Self are so different but so similar. Or my favorite, which is my friend's from schools as well, talking about Jayhawk recruiting. What top Rivals.com recruit has chosen KU and if they didn't choose KU where are they going and how could they be so stupid not to choose KU.

Please enjoy my blog and again comments are not frowned on but more encouraged. I also take requests on what to talk about. Rock Chalk Jayhawk Go KU!
