GRAD CHECK
Each year students make the legendary walk through the Campanile, down The Hill and into the real world. We're here to check in on them.
Dan Fambrough Year:1948 Hometown:Lawrence Degree:Education Age: 82----today is his birthday
Back in the day: Fambrough, now known for his eternal dedication to KU football as a coach, started at the University of Kansas, as a student and football player after World War II.
He attended the University of Texas before the war, playing as a guard in the Cotton Bowl in 1943 before he joined the Air Force. After the war KU All-American fullback Ray Evans persuaded him to attend the University of Kansas.
"It was a little different situation," he says. "We'd all been in the service for around four years and we were older. My junior year I was 26 at KU and married with a family. We had some freshmen who were 17 years old who would say, 'Yes, sir,' and "No, sir," to most of us. But they were our teammates and they respected their elders."
Like a rock (chalk): Fambrough graduated after a heartbreaking 20-14 Orange Bowl loss to Georgia Tech on Jan. 1, 1948. He stuck around the following year
as a graduate assistant coach and worked as an assistant for 19 years before becoming head coach in 1971. He served as head coach until 1974 and again from 1979 to 1982.He played or coached in five Jayhawk bowl games.
Today: Fambrough lives in Lawrence, and through retirement his dedication to KU football has stayed strong."I try to go to practice every day," he says. "I'm very proud to be a Jayhawk."
Whether you're singin' along, groovin' by yourself or just studying in the library, we'll catch you with the MUSIC THAT MOVES YOU
**Word of advice:** When I started college as a freshman at Texas, I was 17 years old. I was looking for a lot of good times and all that," he says. "I just had a different attitude when I got out (of World War III). I know you think you can do all these other things right now. But you're really a select group. Not a lot of people get to go to college to get an education."
