Hey did you miss the game? Yeah, they played it already! K-State and KU both in the top five played two overtimes before a winner was established. And what a game! K-State had already lost once to KU and now they had to go to Allen Field House where they were met by 17,000 screaming fans.

Before the game K-State’s coach had a dream. He came up with the perfect way to defend KU’s big center, a huge guy who literally seemed to occupy the entire center of the court. In his dream K-State completely stifled the big guy by putting forwards at the big guy’s “belt buckle” and at each of his shoulders, then depended on the guards to zone the other guys on the team. The K-State coach told his team, “The big dude doesn’t go to the bathroom without this triangle around him!”

    Liam, great post. Go Cats!! Denver broncos vs. San Diego Chargers. 4 years ago. My wife surprised me with some tickets and we drove to Denver for a mini vacation. The last time i saw Denver play was at Mile High Stadium. This would be the first game i had ever been to at Invesco Field. We rode the railway all the way from southeast Denver to the stadium and watched the game. It was electric. The stadium, the fans, the whole atmosphere was incredible to be a part of. Denver ended up losing in the final minutes of the game, and it was also the first game that we got to see the now infamous Jay Cutlerandrun. Overrated if you ask me. All in all it was a wonderful vacation with my wife.
