Although college basketball doesn't appear to be overly popular on Mantel (yet!), it's my favorite sport. I grew up in Kansas and went to school at KU, which means that by law following Jayhawk hoops is my religion. :-) KU has had a down couple of years (by KU standards, anyway) and even though I'm not expecting to make the Final Four this year, I'm excited to watch potential NBA #1 draft pick Darryn Peterson lead the team.

On game days I turn on a few, particular lights in my office, shown here in a panoramic pic from a couple of years ago (though it hasn't changed too much since then). Rock Chalk!
