Top10: Pride of KU sports selected

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAM
The KU Dance Team cheered at Traditions Night on Monday at Memorial Stadium. The team placed second at UCA/UDA College Nationals competition last year.
Editor's note: To mark the Kansan's 100th year of publication, Kansan sportswriter Paul Brand will take a look at the "Top 10s" of Kansas sports.
During the last century of publication, The University Daily Kansan has found Jayhawk sports at the heart of its coverage. Both the campus and its athletic heritage have created a unique bond between the University and its sports. However, none of this would be possible without certain fixtures that University of Kansas sports rely on to build a continuing legacy.
This list will discuss the University's 10 most prized sports institutions.
10. Phog Allen statue: Built to honor the father of basketball coaching, this sculpture puts a face on the spirit that gives nightmares to all visiting players.

The Phog Allen statue in front of Allen Fieldhouse was dedicated on Dec. 13, 1997, the 90th anniversary of the first game he coached at the University.
Although Allen did notch 746 victories and 24 conference championships between 1920 and 1956, it is the legacy that he built in the process that still affects Jayhawk basketball.
As an added bonus, the statue gives religious basketball fans an effigy to pray towards daily: "Pay heed, all who enter: beware of the phog."
9. Fraser Hall lawn: While this entry on the list may be a bit out of the ordinary, Fraser's lawn is home to continuous games of casual contests of soccer, frisbee and golf. On a spring or fall afternoon, the lawn also plays host to the official non-athletic sport of college: napping.
8. (Tie) Basketball bands and Marching Jayhawks: What other phenomenon can produce a massive tribute to Carlos Santana (and maybe Rick James this year), lead the student body in the alma mater, and then take its
game inside Allen Fieldhouse to get down with some OutKast? The day the band is replaced by public address system playing Josh Groban is the day Jayhawk sports die.
7. Allen Fieldhouse lawn: Although not an official athletic field, it serves as the perfect place for aging high school athletes to play injurious games of tackle football. Its prime location on Naismith Drive allows even the common student a chance to be seen dropping a touchdown pass.
6. Campanile hill: Although the video board in Memorial Stadium now blocks the center of the field, "the hill" still offers a good and free way to watch football games.
To add to the excitement, tailgating and drinking are allowed in the area. When out of football season, Campanile hill functions as Lawrence's best spot for sledding.
5. (Tie) Cheerleaders and KU Dance Team: They bring grace and beauty to sports that feature hitting, shooting and offensive linemen.
4. Memorial Stadium: Every fall,
hope and anxiety for the upcoming football season storm through Lawrence like Ouantrill's raiders.
Here these expectations are manifested and new chapters, good or bad, are written in the already rich archive of football history.
Recent additions of the scholarship suites, the video screen and the "Blue Wings Rising" slogan make the stadium the most exciting war memorial since Gettysburg.
3. The Jayhawk: Besides cereal mogul Toucan Sam, the crimson and blue-feathered mascot is the most famous fictitious bird this side of the equator.
Over the years, Jay has changed with the times to look skinny chic (see 1912 version), like Poe's raven (1920), innocent (1923), angry at the market crash (1929) and fierce enough to take on Nazl Germany (1941).
Postwar Jay (1946) has
proven popular but not very fertile, as the 58-year old has yielded only one offspring: Baby lav.
2. Allen Fieldhouse: Arguably the toughest place to play in college basketball.
The fieldhouse combines rabid fans and a mystic "Phog" to create an environment where the ljayhawks seldom lose.
The men's team has enjoyed home court win streaks of 62 and 55 games at Allen, which seems to possess special coercive powers over opponents.
the halloweed hoops haven is aging — it was built in 1955 — but its old-school style and lore still make it one of the most electrizv venues in all of sports.
1. The fans: They yell, drink,
make lewd t-shirts, camp out,
celebrate wins, cry over defeats
and hate Missouri.
