…one of my KU shirts today. And during the cooler months, 80% of the time, I’ll have on a sweatshirt that says KANSAS. In other words, I seldom wear one in order to make a statement, so I’m always taken by surprise when a stranger starts a conversation about KU.

A man in overalls held the door open for me as we walked out of the post office this morning.

He said, “The Hawks almost got beat last night.”

“Yeah, it was close,” I replied.

“No. It was damn close,” he said with a smile.

That, it was. In the last few seconds of the game, victory could have gone either way.
