TUESDAY,APRIL8,2003
Nashville Star contestant and University of Kansas alumna Amy Chappell showed her love of KU basketball Saturday night on national television.
After Chappell's performance on the USA network Saturday night, the television camera panned to her and she mouthed the words, "Rock, Chalk Jayhawk!" said Chappell's stepfather, Kip Emmerich.
"She is definitely a KU Jayhawk basketball fan," Emmerich said.
Chappell is a singer and songwriter in Nashville, Tenn. and is currently living in a Real World-type environment with other contestants on the reality television show, Nashville Star.
The Jayhawk's journey through the NCAA tournament has already been immortalized in a song being played on the airways.
The song called "Battle of Roy" humorously describes the team's performance and who they played to get to the Final Four Tournament in New Orleans.
"In the second week of April I took a little trip down the Mississippi for the National Championship. I took Nick and Kirk and the whole dad gum team to the frickin' Final Four in New Orleans," claims one verse of the song, sung to a rock-a-billy boat.
The classic rock station, 99.7 KY,
in Kansas City, has been playing
the song on the air.
students chuckled as they listened to the song for the first time yesterday afternoon on Wescoe Beach.
"it's no 'Super Bowl Shuffle,' but it's a quality song," said Drew Thomas, Hays senior.
The song contains imitations of Williams, but it doesn't fool students and true fans.
"I respect Roy Williams way too much to believe that that's him," said Amanda Boyer, Amarillo, Tex., sophomore.
The Lawrence Journal-World was asked last week by police to remove the paper dispensers throughout Downtown and
Campus.
The city feared that the large metal objects would turn into tools for vandals during and after the chaos of last night's game.
The Journal-World did not want to take a chance that the dispensers themselves could be destroyed.
"We figured we would be better safe than sorry, since they are about $400 apiece," said Joe Lewis, circulation manager for the Journal-World.
At the end of the first half of the game, one fan passed out in the stands of Memorial Stadium and was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for possible alcohol poisoning.
Police and paramedics were unable to comment about the incident because of the fan's age.
Anger, disappointment and sadness were felt on Daisy Hill after the Jayhawk's loss last night. The cold silence was broken be a few random car horn honks as students walked back to their residence halls from parking lots
"The last few minutes everyone was at the edge of their seats," said Jenny Graber, Aurora sophomore and Lewis Hall resident.
and congregated near the front doors of the their buildings.
Graber described the mood after the buzzer sounded as anger.
"Everyone is pissed off," she said.
"They are slamming the coach,
slamming the way we played."
Other students were more optimistic about the Jayhawks performance.
"I'm disappointed but they fought until the end," said Tamara Martinez, Santiago, Spain graduate student and Jayhawker Towers resident.
A helicopter hovered overhead and tension built inside with every Jayhawk bucket, but the prayers and pleadings of all the fans on Massachusetts Street couldn't bring KU victory on Monday night. But as disappointed as KU fans were, it wasn't hard to find the silver lining in a season with such
ominous clouds.
"It hurts to be a 'Hawks fan sometimes,' said Brendan Goss, a junior in communications from Chicago, soon after KU fell to Syracuse. "But this is nothing compared to being a Bears fan."
while the loss left many pensive 'Hawks fans longing for a few more free throws, or a few more minutes in the close game with Syracuse, others took time to revel in what was by all accounts an unprecedented run through the tournament.
"When we beat Duke and Arizona I said, 'This is better than winning the national championship,' " said Greg Alison a 1999-grad from Kansas City, with tears in his eyes.
Minutes later KU fans who stuck around to watch the festivities unfold on TV were treated to the rare treat of Kansas coach Roy Williams speaking his mind about the North Carolina coaching vacancy, leading some fans to irrational exuberance.
"He said, 'I don't give a (crap) about the North Carolina job right
now," said Mike Vanderslice.
Stillwater, OK. "If that's true, I don't care about that game right now!"
Fans at Old Chicago, 2329 Iowa St. were silent as the reality of last night's loss sunk in.
"I thought that last shot was going to go in," said Sean Gleason, 2002 graduate.
Kent Jewett, manager of Old Chicago, said more than 500 people were at the bar and grill last night for the game. Fans brought their own chairs when the bar ran out of seats. Others stood on booths cheering and later consoling one another.
Gleason and his friend Tim Newman showed up at 11:30 yesterday morning to await the game.
Newman, Topeka graduate student, said he was proud of the team but was frustrated with some of the plays.
"We would've won if our free throws were on," Newman said. "But it's been awesome getting this far."
