The end of an era. Fifty-five games in length. Almost four years in time.And now, it's over. The KU fans and players entered Allen Field House on Saturday in anticipation of another victory, another notch on the already notched-up victory belt. They left dejected and defeated. The intrastate rivalry had a new champion. After 10 successful matches against the Kansas State Wildcats, the Kansas Jayhawks finally came out on the wrong end. It was inevitable. It was shocking. And now, it's over.
