I hate to be THAT KU fan...but it's kind of hard not to be when our football season has been less than stellar this year (but you better believe my booty is still in the seat for every home football game, even the one that was rain delayed for an hour and pouring rain for a good majority of the game- and cheering on tv for the away games- I'm excited for basketball not a fairweather fan) -but mostly just because I just love KU Basketball so much. The excitement, the energy, the passion, the talent, the history, the tradition....I could go on and on.
Anyway, it's here! We went to the first and second games, both exhibition, but still great to get to go and experience the atmosphere. I was so excited to take Aspen to her first KU game.
We had a really good time, even though I was literally sweating all through the game making sure Aspen didn't fall down the bleachers on her head! It's great to see Aspen picking up on the little things, waving the wheat, putting her hands up for free throws, clapping with the fight song and not specific to KU but she melted my heart when she put her hand over her heart during the national anthem.
The Rock Chalk chant before the game
The pre-game video gives me goosebumps everytime!
I've watched KU basketball with my family since I was old enough to remember so it makes me so happy to start to share these things that I grew up with, with my own daughter and to see her making those same memories literally makes me teary eyed.
I'm not sure how our season will fare this year- we're a young team but with a load of talent. Hopefully we'll be adding another banner at the end of the season! :)
