KU-OSU: An opportunity

I just can’t stop thinking about this game. It’s big for so many reasons.


*It’s an opportunity for the team to regain confidence in themselves after three tough losses.

*It’s an opportunity to take control of their destiny and take a big step toward one of their goals: A Big 12 Championship.

*It’s an opportunity for the team to come together as one, united against a 4-game losing streak, against losing the Big 12 Championship, sticking it to the moron fans that booed one of their own, and to send a message to anyone and everyone that has begun to doubt them that they are still a team that can end the season as National Champions.

*It’s an opportunity for the fans to blow the roof off of Allen Fieldhouse.

*It’s an opportunity for J.R. Giddens to bust out of his shooting slump and get the “home love” he so rightly deserves.

*It’s an opportunity for all…players, coaches, and fans…to show a national television audience all of the glory that is Allen Fieldhouse and just how special it is to be a Jayhawk.

*It’s an opportunity for the four seniors…Aaron, Michael, Wayne and Keith…to prove that they can lead at a time when their teammates desperately need leadership.

*It’s an opportunity for Bill Self and his coaching staff to prove that they can weather this storm and come out stronger because of it.

*It’s an opportunity for our freshmen…Sasha, CJ, Darnell, Russell, and Alex….to come together and establish themselves as the future of Kansas Basketball, either by producing on the court or supporting their teammates that are busting their tails to get the Jayhawks to St. Louis.

*It’s an opportunity for Russell Robinson, who is not used to sitting on the bench, to use this opportunity as a learning experience and to know that he, if he chooses, will have a huge opportunity in the next three years to establish himself as one in a long line of great KU guards. (*Note to Russell: Son, your time will come. Jayhawk fans LOVE you. And we will be there for you when it’s your time to shine.)

*It’s an opportunity for the best walk-on in the history of college basketball to show everyone that he belongs and that this Jayhawk team is at its best when he is on the floor. Christian: This team is yours next year.

*It’s an opportunity to put a stamp on this season and take one big step toward in what may well be a great season to remember.
