roll and calypso. They knew them all.
the campers protested. At midnight a few of the malcontents left mysteriously.
Shortly after midnight, a KU police officer arrived. However, the group had quieted and the officer drove away without getting out of his car, much to the displeasure of the would-be sleepers.
Randy Phillips, Topeka sophomore, arrived later in the morning and was applauded for his letter to the editor that appeared in the Kansan in defense of the infamous "Bernch Hogs."
At 3 a.m., a KU police officer occurred. The campers came out to watch but were disgruntled again. Zielinski won the officer over, and they talked for more than 30 minutes to the stupidity of Lawrence drivers.
After the officer departed, Zielinski finally turned in. The rest of the group played tackle the man with the football before giving up at 4 a.m. When the campers awoke at 7 a.m., they screamed for Zielinski to wake up. He rolled over and continued snoring.
Game day
The Super Fans were awarded for their vigil with four-four seat. They warmed up on the referees during the junior-varsity game. Between games, signs were made and newspapers were passed out. Former KU student Kissa Rueschstop stopped by to bombard the fans with
candy, as had become tradition. The catch of the day was bubble gum.
Mattias Sahiterm was the first Cowboy to take the court for pregame warmups. He instantly was judged for his choice of haircuts.
During the introduction of the Jahayw starters, newspapers, confetti and Silly String filled the air. The usher standing guard behind the basket was not impressed His excitement had seen it all before. He obviously had seen it all before.
Less than three minutes into the game. Coach Roy Williams was slapped with a technical foul. The crowd did not take it well and would not quiet down. The referees had declared a war they could not win.
"All four years I've been here, (the Jayhawks) have been fantastic." Marsh said. "I've only seen five or six losses. It's about giving something back to the team and the coolest coach in America."
The game was fast paced. High fives were exchanged after every Kansas basket. After Randall's second slam dunk of the game, the fans became so excited they knocked each other down. Undaunted, they scrambled to their feet and continued.
"Joe is crazy." said Jane Kobett, varsity cheerleader. "They'll do anything. They get the rest of the crowd excited."
With time running out in the first half, the band finally played the song, "Hey!"
Zielinski flies. Eyes and cameras turned to the Super Fans. Pritchard
and Calloway were astonished. Pritchard's mouth dropped open further with each successive toss. When the cheer was played again late in the game, Logan flew for old times' sake. The 79-69 victory was the Jayhawks' second in fourness, although he scored in four days. The Jayhawks held sole possession of first place in the Big Eight Conference.
After three days devoted to Kansas basketball, the Super Fans were not weary. They had endured the cold, the lines and stood through two hours of basketball. They already were thinking ahead.
Phillips asked, "So, Curtis, when are we going to start camping out for the K-State game?"
The tent reappeared Feb. 14, two days before the Kansas State game. Captain Jayhawk and the Super Fans were third in line. They made up the heart of rows three, four and five. The team that harassed the referees, intimidated the opposition and aided the cheerleaders. It was their job.
"At critical times in the game, we try to ignite the crowd and let the 'Hawks know we're behind them," Zielinski said.
Randall, who played on the U.S. national team during the summer, said the fans at Kansas were like no other.
"Our fans are on a different level." Randall said. "I've been fortunate enough to play around the world and places around the country. We have the best fans in the world."
