Poor, Jody Lowery.  For the first time, her Memphis fan-dom has come back to haunt her.  Last night Kansas outlasted the Tigers... laying in the weeds, waiting for John Calipari's squad to do what most expected of the clanking crew: Miss Free Throws During A Critical Stretch Of The Game.

When CDR and Derrick Rose missed from fifteen feet with no one guarding them, the door was opened for a Kansas Komeback... Mario Chalmer's three with 2.1 seconds to play just cemented the inevitable: Memphis choked away their first national championship.  Why didn't a Tiger fould Collins brining the ball upcourt with less than ten seconds to play in regulation? Wow... rough way to lose, Memphis.

The good news is, Jody now "gets" to wear my old Kansas hat that I bought in 2001 in Kansas City when the Lady Techsters played in the NCAA Tournament in the city of BBQ.  This hat has been on my dome for many lawn mowings, many jogs through the city, various activities that brought the sweat out of my noggin and into the hat-band.  And now Jody will wear it.  She has to be proud.
