{jayhawker}

I was born a Jayhawker in the great state of Kansas.  And the day I married and moved into the neighboring state of Missouri {and changed my driver's liscense and liscense plate - to less prettier one's}, I may have shed a little tear.  Although, nothing would ever diminish love my Kansas Jayhawks no matter where I live!  Growing up my family was always watching Kansas basketball and even going to the games every now and then.  My husband and I almost never pass up the chance to go to a game, we enjoy being 2 of the 16,300 people that show up to Allen Fieldhouse every game.  That gym is filled with history and tradition, which plays a huge part of the atmosphere.  Fans of other teams, especially those of less storied programs, don't really understand unless they have been there and experienced it.  I would encourage fans of any team {yes, even Mizzou} to experience a Kansas basketball game at least once.
Luckily we had the chance to sit in some really amazing seats {thanks, Uncle Roy!} as we attended the last home game of this season.  I took my camera and to grab some pictures of course! I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!

A remake of the original banner.  The original hangs in Allen Fieldhouse and has a great history behind it.
