Great post from MU's Tigerboard:

Remember that scene at the end of Red Dawn?

Where Robert stands against a rock...cocks his rifle and stands in front of the helicopter shooting rockets at him? Somehow, I just got that vision of this board.

Rock Chalk Championship!

Yeah Baby!

Mario Chalmers is now a Kansas Jayhawk God, immortalised forever.

I was hoping for a miracle that I'd miss...

I got one!!!! It was worth the sacrifice. :clap:

Great game on both sides. What a comeback. WOW

Great comeback by the KU kids. Be proud.

Congrat's Jayhawk fans. That was an absolutely amazing comeback.

24-8 run lmfao

Rock chalk, all you doubting bitches!!!!


:D :D

We played a godawful game for ~30 minutes, but it still took a miracle three to take it to OT and wrest the championship away from our exhausted players.

Well ****ing done. I hate you right now, but well ****ing done. What a game.

What foresight! :D

What a game, the best you could ask for for a KU fan i would guess.

Cut down the Nets!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Go KU. National Champions!! Props to Memphis. A hell of a team.

Congrats Jayhawks.:thumb:

What tournament did Mizzou play in, again?

Umm Rep please!!! LMAO j/k great job guys.

WOW....swore they were going to be ****ed in regulation. Bet every college coach is going to spend extra time on FT now! WOOHOO! :D

Memphis choked it, but KU earned it.

Got to love it. I bought a Jayhawk t shirt when I was back there in October. Get to sport it out here tomorrow. lol.

Nice season. I believe I picked them to win out in the Nzoner brackets at Yahoo as well. Nice. Almost as nice as the Arizona wildcat win when Bibby was handling the rock back in the day.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ultra Peanut. That was a Helluva game. Your team has nothing to hang their heads on. They just need to learn to shoot some FTs a little better. Still, a fantastic season and you guys had us for awhile there.

MAN, I LOVE THIS SHIT ! :D

You should've fouled KU before they launched a 3.

Can we change the name to the lounge of champions now?? :)

AS MUCH AS IT PAINS ME TO SAY..... CAN WE MOVE THIS THREAD TO THE HALL OF FAME?

CDR turned into Darius Washington.

I am not laughing at memphis, its just insane that it happend that way I was rooting memphis all the way!

As a Cards fan, I'll tell you that a championship win when you are not the 'best' team is still no less delicious than if you are.

Heh, eat crow you little bitch.

Yeah, before the end of regulation, I was a bit shocked that they weren't attempting to foul. I would have my team foul them immediately.

finally have my breathe back. this is just a miracle. Now I will never get to sleep.

This game exhausted me. I loved it though.

KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Thats what Norm stewart would have done.

I was screaming that at the TV.

Wow still trying to call up my best friend from HS. Hahah can't get through the cell circuits must be jammed in KS.

Super Mario will be a legend for years to come in Lawrence.

Yeah, I don't think he's ever going to have any trouble getting laid. By entire sororities. At one time.

damn, fireworks in Topeka

And, to be honest, the officating was actually much better in the 2nd half, at least in my opinion. They actually let them play for a change.

Me too. Memphis got what they deserved.

Congrats Jayhawk players and coaches.

Now go work on your dribbling skills, Collins.

I heard a faint Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU over off of 118th and Holmes.

Down with the ChokeHawks up with the Rock Chalk Jayhawks!!!! This game was a classic!!!

I've never, ever understood why teams don't do that. Blows my mind.

I was about 3yrs old when KU won it in '88. I grew up a Jayhawk fan and suffered through Duke, Arizona, Maryland, Syracuse and all the other disappointments.

Then, I get a Gators 'ship in 2006 and a Miami Heat 'ship followed in 2006, then a Gators football 'ship in 2007 and another Gators 'ship in 2007. Now I get a KU 'ship in 2008.

:D

To all my KU brothers and sisters......WE ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!


ROCK CHALK JAYHAWKS GO KU!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best (and drunkest) times of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, the loss doesn't hurt so much as the fact that Rose, Dorsey, and probably CDR are gone. We'll have a Top 10-caliber team next year, probably Top 5 if we manage to land Ebanks, but god damn, I'm going to miss these guys and the fun they've had together.

CDR is the personification of class and heart, and for people to call him a choker as he's up there with the pressure of the world on his dead legs honestly hurts. A hearty **** you to those assholes.

Agreed. I actually thought Rose was leaning in to do just that.

Agreed.

Rock Chalk Jayhawks.....

Congrats on a great season, UP. Your boys were no joke. That was an amazing game.

This is why I hate you.

All the haters can suck ass!

wow! remarkable! Mario Chalmers is now a legend forever in Lawrence!!!!! I wish I was up in Lawrence, but damn, I may go up there on Wednesday to celebrate it! Now I hope our fans stay classy and don't riot and break stuff.

It just occurred to me that Bill Self may be the first person anywhere close to KC who's successfully executed a 5 year plan.

And to top it all off, this one is absolutely, unquestionably his championship.

Bill Self = ChaChing

Appreciate what you've got.

Without Collins, Rose probably scores 30.

Heh, He deserves it.

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK GO KU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your boys can play. I had no doubts. There were several cocky KU fans at my work, was mouthing off that they were gonna run off the mid-major Memphis team, and I just had to tear them a new one, becuase I know they're very good. I knew it was going to be close. I thought it would either be by 3 in the end of the regulation, or it would be settled in OT.

They're tired, but they're scrappy and they're gritty. I admire that in a team.

Hats off to your team.

YES!!!!!!!

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK, GO KU! :KU:

You didn't celebrate the Bucs superbowl over the Raiderfan?

Pay Bill.........

Okay, I'm going to go... I dunno, kill myself or something. See you bitches later.

no doubt!

My advice: whatever you do, don't watch Raw, it'll just make it worse.

Chalmers = Clutch!

Eh, you could be right. I'm not too concerned about his defense, if I was a KU fan. But his balling skills, ugh. That's an area of a need in improvement if I was him.

But I thought Rush keeping CDR in check was the key.

Only as much as any other Chiefs fan celebrating a Faiduhs loss. I wasn't living in Tampa then, and I've never been a Bucs fan. I follow them some now, and don't mind seeing them win since they're in the NFC, but I wouldn't call myself a 'fan'.

If anything, my first taste of championship was in 1997 when I was at games 6 and 7 of the Marlins WS over Cleveland and then they won again over the Yanks in 2003.

GOD DAMNIT

MR. MCMAHON WHY MUST YOU FORSAKE ME

I still want to see the foot cam on Chalmers shot. That was friggin close.

Mr. Bill Self:

I'm sorry for all the bad things I've said about you in the past. After Bucknell and Bradley I was extremely frustrated and thought you couldn't coach. If I could erase everything bad I said about you, I would. It's also no problem that you bumped into me while I was shooting pool that one time at the bar. I hope you stay at KU for a long time. Please don't go to OSU. You are the ****ING MAN!

Sincerely,

OMFG! Instant classic.

ditto

Post-game guys on CBS are giving KU all kinds of credit for the win, so those worried about that might be able to relax.

OMG!!! Hey everyone, Werner ladder is the OFFICIAL LADDER of the NCAA championship game! We all better go out to the hardware store and get ourselves one a them!

ROCK CHALK BITCHESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Nice!

I thought KU was dead when Rose took over...Self built an almost perfect team...only thing we lacked was a guy like Rose who could take over a game...Chalmers = wow! That is what March Madness is all about! Nice to see a championship back in Kansas!
