Happy New Year Jayhawks, please add your own in the comments
How about things we aren't thankful for? Mine would be Josh Freeman going pro. I will miss his 6 turnovers against KU next season.
ReplyDeleteThat is a disappointment. With a little effort, 20 turnovers against one opponent was well within his reach.
ReplyDeleteAnd in adding to your thanks, I'd include the Orange Bowl win that started off 2008 with a bang.
I'd also include not losing to Missouri in either football or basketball throughout all of 2008.
