Adam Webb

I mentioned Adam Webb the other day, but I'll let Jamie explain:



Hell of a guy. We barely knew him, I suppose, but he welcomed us to the alumni group during the first basketball game of the season. Nearly every game since, he was there. . . .

Though I never agreed, I will sincerely miss his complaints about Coach Self and about Brandon's ability to make lay-ups. Sincerely.

You may have noticed Shannon holding up a flier in the post-UNC game post. Here's a scan of that flier:




It's a real shame that he missed it, but I feel he'd want us to celebrate it:
THE JAYHAWKS WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

A few photos (more soon, I'm told):

Applause

And in case you're not following the action over on the Jayhawk Nation blog, I thought I'd quote a bit from Deron's most recent comment:

"When the shot went through... I swear I've never yelled so loud in my life -- in unison with hundreds of my fellow patrons at the KU-friendly NYC bar, the Back Page. It was basically one long, continuous scream from that point all the way through the overtime."


And Coach, on this amazing team:

“Kansas basketball, Dr. Naismith and Rupp and Allen and Owens and Brown and Williams and Wilt and you go on and on and on, there’s so many great teams. This is the winningest team in the history of the program. And I told them tonight you’ll remember it as the best team ever in the history of the program if we take care of business tonight, and that to me is very humbling to think of all the great players and all the great teams, and this one will go down as the best ever. And it’s humbling to have a chance to work with that group of guys.”

Well said.

Rock Chalk!
