“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

Whew! What a game. Up and down, full of momentum swings. An emotional roller-coaster.
I alternated between screams and rants at the TV, on one hand, and sighs of relief and smiling fist-thrusts on the other.
I freaked out the family dog (who thinks I'm yelling at her when I get upset at the Hawks, the refs, or just the game overall).
I exchanged about 500 texts with HE as we mutually alternated between downs, ups, downs, and a final round of ups.
And lastly, I changed BOTH my KU t-shirt AND my KU sweatshirt at the half. (Which, of course, was clearly the difference)
More on the Xs and Os as we go, but for now, I just wanted to say...
Dayum!
And...
ROCK CHALK!!!
