Oranges taste sweet after some nice Hokie Bird

Say these four words with me now: Rock. Chalk. Jayhawk. KU. You can’t say the Hawks haven’t played anyone now. You shouldn’t say Kansas didn’t belong in the BCS (although I’ll concede Mizzou belonged there too, while Illinois and Hawaii did not).  You shouldn’t say Todd Reesing is too small, or Mark Mangino can’t coach, or KU can’t play defense. Last night’s Orange Bowl victory over an outcoached Virginia Tech squad should take care of the doubters, naysayers and haters.  It won’t, of course, but it should.

This long time Jayhawk couldn’t be happier or, frankly, surprised by the little Jayhawks that could’s 12-1 finish.  that they topped it off with a victory over a top 5 perennial power playing in its 15th straight bowl game and did it by out-Beamerballing Beamer makes it all the sweeter.  Hopefully Bill Self’s group was watching Fox last night, and will overperform, rather than the opposite.
