Upsets can ruin spring break plans
Fans recall painful losses
By Kory Burke
Special to the Kansan
The Kansas men's basketball team almost caused a KU student to spend time in jail last year.
Andrew Rothenberg, St. Louis junior, was on his way to Florida for spring break when he had a confrontation with the law.
"My friends and I were in a bar in Alabama watching the basketball game," he said. "When KU lost, one of my friends jumped up and knocked the table over, causing our plates and glasses to break. Some cop in the bar told us to pay for everything, otherwise he was going to take us to jail."
Spring break is supposed to be a time of fun and relaxation. But for Kansas basketball fans, spring break for the past two years has been a time of disappointment.
been a little cold.
When Kansas made a premature exit from March Madness last season, fans were left feeling cheated. And today, most of them can remember exactly where they were when time expired on the game clock.
The weekend before last year's spring break, Chris Willis, Leawood senior, had prepared him
self for another Jayhawk triumph. And when the team lost to Arizona, alcohol proved to be too strong of a temptation to resist.
"I didn't know what to do when they lost so I shotgunned the five beers that were left in my refrigerator. Then I hit my wall and put a hole in it," he said.
The worst part for Willits was still to come. A member for the Kansas Crewrowing club, he was about to leave for a 16-hour bus trip to Louisiana where the crew trains for spring break.
"I had no idea what to do. After drinking all that beer that quick, I was about to be trapped on a bus with 40 other people," he said.
Doug Holtzman, St. Louis junior, was christening a new big-screen television with his parents when Kansas lost last year.
"While my parents and I were watching the game, my mom kept saying she had a bad feeling and that they were going to lose. Eventually my dad and I kicked her out of the room," he said.
Holtzman's dad also had a pair of tickets for the Final Four.
"I was so mad that I told him to sell the tickets because I didn't think it was worth going anymore," he said.

Wendy Tweito, Hutehinson
senior, also was supposed to go to
the Final Four.
"I was in San Diego when they
lost in 1996," she said. "All I could do was cry. Last year my dad called me after the game and told me that if KU would have won, he and I were going to the Final Four. That's when the tears started to flow again."
For other fans, last year's loss was more physically painful. Melissa Davis, Wichita sophomore, was working out during the game.
"The game was on the television in the weight room, so I wasn't paying much attention to what I was doing," she said. "I ended up dropping a weight on my foot and couldn't walk very easily for the next week."
Matt Fisch, Overland Park senior, had to listen to his family tease him for the entire week.
"I was in Oklahoma with all my family and relatives," Fisch said. "Right when KU lost they started rubbing it in. I didn't hear the end of it until classes started again. It basically ruined my break."
This is a whole new year. Once again the Jayhawks have high expectations to live up to, and once again - if they reach the Elite Eight - they will be playing while students are heading for their spring break destinations.
this year I want to have something to celebrate about," Rothenburg said. "I just hope there aren't any cops around."
