Dreams Can Come True

There is no better evidence that the title is correct then last nights basketball game in Kansas. Three years have passed since K-State (Kansas State) beat KU (Kansas) in basketball. In fact KU usually dominates the series between the arch rivals. So much so that KU has won 50 of the last 54 meetings between the two schools. Perhaps even more amazing, they have won 42 of 44.

So to see and hear what happened last night is truly amazing, no matter if you are a fan of Kansas State, Kansas University or some other team.
Kevin Haskin of the Topeka Capital Journal wrote it this way,

MANHATTAN — A sense of dread hovered throughout Bramlage Coliseum before tipoff Monday.

Whether dressed in home gray tank tops as players or partisan purple as fans, everyone connected with Kansas State lacked confidence.

So tame was the sellout for archrival Kansas that a prominent sign held aloft by a student with a center-court seat read, “Never Say Never.’’

The win was even more remarkable, the 16 point win was the widest for K-State in the series since a 17-point win at Ahearn Fieldhouse 29 years ago. When the buzzer sounded in Bramlage Coliseum the final score was Kansas State 84, Kansas 68.

So what now? Will the unranked Kansas State be ranked now? How far will the top ranked Kansas, who was number 1 in the country before last night fall, after losing to an unranked team? I truly believe K-State could get a championship if they remain focused for the rest of the season. Drams do come true, and last nights win over Kansas is one of the biggest. Still though come February 28 when Kansas State comes here to Austin, this former Kansas State fan will be rooting for the Longhorns. Since arriving here last August I have immersed myself in Longhorns. My step sons fiance attends UT, where she is going for her Masters. My wife and I have hoodies that we bought shortly before our move down here. There is no getting around it, our allegiance is with our new team when it comes time for the two teams to play. An other time I will still be rooting for Kansas State to win.
