This One's for You, Dad

My dad was a Kansas University Jayhawks fan. Because I went to a girly school with no real sports (our women's crew team apparently kicked ass), the Jayhakws were my adopted team for the NCAA tournament each year. It's been a lot of heartbreak. This year, the fellas lost in the first round. Yep. A lot of heartbreak.

For my dad, the heartbreak hit hardest when long-time Kansas coach Roy Williams opted to go back to coach the North Carolina Tar Heels a couple short years ago. It was a betrayal of the kids he recruited, a betrayal of the school, and a betrayal of my father on a personal level.

Roy and his Tar Heels won the NCAA tournament last night, something Roy was unable to accomplish in his many years at Kansas. On behalf of my dad, then, Coach Williams, I say this to you and your Tar Holes, but mostly just to you, dear Roy: screw you. You can give your shout-out to the Kansas boys who called and offered their support of you, but screw you. Seriously. Screw you.
