Katie and I have finally been able to sit down and map out a whirlwind tour of the KU campus. Albeit, Katie's had more free time than me; she's been a great resource finding out some stops along the city of Lawrence.
I, however, like to say I know a bit more about getting around campus, but in married life, the wife always wins.
Anyway, once in a while here on this blog, we'll update you on our adventures around campus. Tonight's installment is our trip to the Booth Family Hall of Athletics.
Katie and I decided that we would get season football tickets. I was ecstatic considering the beast
roaming the sideline. So, we went to the Allen Fieldhouse box office which is conveniently located next to the Hall of Athletics.
It was Katie's first time (my third).
I got a chance last night to live my dream as you can tell by the picture on the left. So, Katie naturally got to have her pic with one of the
originals.
The hall has a plethora of memorabilia. If you are ever at KU, it's definitely worth a look. I'm not going to bore you with a history of the hall, but you can look
here for more info.
There are plenty of trophy cases on display. The most recent additions are the
Orange Bowl trophy and the
NCAA basketball championship trophy--a team led by the
devil incarnate.
I was very excited to be able to catch an impromptu
basketball game. Katie couldn't get me
good seats.
Surprisingly, we still don't really know what Rock Chalk means, but it is grounds for a
mean photo op.
Katie caught up with some old friends--in particular the answer to one of her dad's high school PE basketball exam questions. The answer is to her
right and mine
as well.
The story of sport is not complete without
Katie. And, it was
A-OK with me!
Our last stop was naturally the gift shop. Which made Katie
mad and me
sick.It was a great
day!
