The real championship game is today

The Universities of Kansas and North Carolina play today in what should be the college basketball national title game. Today's game pits Roy Williams against his old team for the first time since he left KU five years ago for UNC. When the two-time defending National Champion Florida Gators get knocked out of the tournament (or don't make it in the first place) I tend to root for Kansas, since I partially grew up in Jayhawk country. You see, my introduction to college basketball was at Phog Allen Field House in Lawrence, Kansas and I spent summers at the Roy Williams Basketball Camp (see photo). Of course, height prevented me from becoming the next Danny Manning. 

Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, but good luck Roy.

HAHAH! Best picture ever.

But I still think my favorite footage of Roy Williams is this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=M8LT2BzNGpg

Right around the 2:20 mark.

2:04 is pretty awesome too, but for a different reason.
