Kansas Jayhawks Championship Round-up
The Jayhawks are national champions!
KU YouTube Round up
Video and photos from last night’s celebration in Lawrence are making their way on to YouTube. People were streaming on to the streets right after the game to began the great march to Mass St. From the bars, to the rooftops, to the streets, it was en masse on Mass while the band plays on, and on… Chanting, high-fives and dancing all around.
There were classic reactions to Mario Chalmers 3 point shot to tie the game. On the Living room front, the Deacon family was typical… tension, fear, anticipation of the empty depression about to set in, and then…
It’s a miracle!
What the hell happened?
I don’t know!
This guy goes nuts, barks at the TV. This nervous fellow is relieved. Inside the bars it was even crazier.
Allen Fieldhouse would have been a nice place to be. (court stormed at 04:00)
What would a video round-up be without the obligatory kitty cat watching the game? I bet the kitty really got a real emotional kick out of One Shining Moment.
