I hope the basketball team knows that there are true fans that support them through wins and losses. I think that they had a great season.
Does anybody else think that Bill Self is really hot? Maybe it's just me. I don't know.
I just passed Moody on campus and he is even better looking in person.
I got a fever and the only prescription is more Final Fours. Fellows, I got to have more Final Fours.
Hey Moody, let's play doc tor together sometime.
I just saw Padgett on Wescoe doing cartwheels in a Georgia Tech jersey. April Fools.
I am so sick of hearing about Duke that I could puke.

Bowling to compete at Nationals
By Jason Elmquist

For those who did not know, yes, there is a bowling team, and yes, it is good.
The women's team will make its second straight appearance in the Intercollegiate Bowling Championship in Tulsa, Okla., while the men's team will make its fourth straight appearance and its fifth out of the past six years.
The top four teams from each of the four sectionals advanced to the IBC. The women clinched a trip back by finishing third in their sectional in Lexington, Ky. The men did so by finishing second in Lexington.
The team will travel to Tulsa on April 14 and attend an award ceremony where four potential All-Americans will be announced. Men's bowlers Marc D'Errico, Rochester, N.Y., senior; Rhino Page, Lawrence sophomore; and Chris Dilley,
"They don't rattle easily and they're able to bounce back."
Mike Fine
Bowling coach
Olathe sophomore, are the three men up for All-American honors. Women's bowler Kelly Zapf, Rochester, N.Y., junior is the lone KU female up for the honors. Coach Mike Fine is a finalist for National Coach of the Year for the third year in a row. Fine won the award in 2001-2002.
"Mike is the heart and soul of this team," said Alan Emmons, Loveland, Colo., senior. "I think it is because of him and the way he is able to communicate with every one else that he's able to really help the team understand the importance of ball selection and lane play."
D'Erico, Emmons, and Jason Reese, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, will be competing in their last collegiate tournament.
"We would love to go out National Champions, and we're going to try our best," D'Errico said.
D'Errico, who has been on each of the last four qualifying teams, thinks the experience of four of the six members will aid in their pursuit for the national title. Emmons has been on the past three qualifying teams, and Page and Reese will make their second appearance. This will be the first trip to the national competition for Dilley and Trent Overbey, Topeka freshman.
Our experience can help the other guys so they don't feel as much pressure and they can make the good shots when they can make them," D'Erico said.
Fine also expressed the importance of the experienced players heading to nationals.
"They don't rattle easily and they're able to bounce back," Fine said. "If we run into a tough stretch, they have experience with righting
the ship and getting back on track."
The talent and experience has the men's team peaking at the right time. The team was ranked fourth in the nation heading into sectionals and finished with the third highest pinfall out of the 56 teams competing at all four sectionals.
One of the teams it finished ahead of was in-state rival, Wichita State, the reigning National Champions. Wichita State won four tournaments that KU attended, and finished ahead of the men at two others.
"Last year's team had the talent; this year's team has the heart." Emmons said. "We all believe in each other, we get along, we mesh like no other team I've been on."
It may take a little of both talent and heart if the men's and women's teams want to come back from Tulsa with possession of the Helmer Cup.
