From facebook for konza63 and KJr... KJr with HCBS in Louisville (HCBS autographing one of the shoes Naadir Tharpe gave to KJr during a past visit to AFH)
Is that Konza63 with his head cropped off in the pic? Mmmm... it's a possibility :P

Thanks for posting it, HE.

I'm sincerely hoping it's a good-luck omen for next year, given the combination of his picture and the focus on next year's frontrunner.

PS: It definitely brought a big smile to his face. And he's moved onward to tracking Wiggins' stats (he poured it on the other night in that huge upset over Golden State), telling me that T-Rob has 5 straight double-doubles (wow, awesome!), tracking the Josh Jackson recruitment, and shifting toward the Royals... Like father, like son. ;)

Port--

Yep, I was just scrolling through Facebook when it popped up and I had to do a double-take. B)

It was taken in Louisville (evidently by the Kansas.247sports.com site's photographer) at the South Regional, right after the Thursday open shoot-around. I remember seeing lots of journalists and photographers, and someone from a KC news station even interviewed him, but then I forgot all about it.

Cool, very cool. I have three daughters, two of which live and die KU BB. Both of them currently living out of the country, Canada and Australia. One follows the games on Slingbox/Slingplayer. We have a lot of fun texting during the games. It is quite comical. Working on the grand kids now.

PS. The 3rd daughter is an actress, enough said about her interest in sports. Her hubby and the other son-in-law, neither of which attended KU, have totally bought in to KU BB.

That's great stuff, Hoshi. Thanks for sharing, and way to bring them up right! ;)

I've been to Australia a few times on work--and "play" once work was done. (Too nice of a place to hop right back in a plane) What a great place to live, if you're so lucky, for a few years outside the US. (And thank goodness for Slingbox in your case...)

My daughter (2 years older than Garrett) is big-time into theater/acting, much like your 3rd daughter. She was a Hawk fan for awhile, then other things took over. She still likes them, but just very casually...and her player memories pretty much stopped around T-Rob. ;)

It's cool that your sons-in-law have gotten into KU hoops. There's plenty of room on the bandwagon!

Folks, as someone who has always wanted to visit Down Under but has yet to work it out (even after living in Hawai'i for 5 years), if such a meeting ever comes to pass, I would love to sit in. It's been too long since I've been in the Bay Area, and such a get together would be a great additional reason to include it on my travel calendar again. B)

Tried to insert a photograph without success. I will eventually figure it out.
