Thanks for the memories!
n the past four years, KU basketball fans have been blessed. In 1994, a recruiting class containing quality players and quality people was brought here by Coach Williams. With this being the 100th year of KU Basketball, I can think of no finer representatives than this year's seniors to usher the Jayhawks into a new century. As an avid KU hoops fan, I must admit that I have become spoiled. I am able to say that I have never witnessed a home loss. How many people around the country are able to say that? This senior class has been involved in the majority of the current 59 game home winning streak. The Jayhawks have a record of 117-16 thus far in games involving Raef, Billy, and C.B. Memories abound of games during their reign. For this, I offer my thanks.
Thank you C.B, for living out your dreams. Growing up in Kansas, I realize how you feel about the Jayhawks. Going from walk-on to scholarship player, earning valuable minutes and becoming an integral part of a team's success is an amazing story anywhere. Doing it at the best college b-ball program in the country makes it all the more so.
Thanks Billy, for offering KU fans a record number of chances to raise their hands in celebration of yet another three-point basket. Through the years, it became obvious that you continuously worked on your game to become the overall player that you are. Your leadership this year has shown how far you have come, and the Hawks have benefited greatly because of it.
Thank you Raef, for everything. One does not become the second leading scorer and rebounder at a school with our tradition easily. Thanks for all the monster dunks, rebounds and blocks. More importantly, thanks for not letting your All-American status go to your head. Fans are let down far too many times by star players, but you have proven that you possess just as much character as
you do talent.
Thanks also to Coach Williams, the rest of the team and my fellow fans. The past four years have been a wonderful experience. As a senior, I feel like this is also a celebration for me and every other fan who is graduating. We are all a part of what makes KU the greatest place to watch, coach or play college basketball in the nation. I thank you all for the memories and wish the Jayhawks luck on the rest of the year.
