Three weeks ago the University of Missouri Tigers did the unthinkable and defeated the Kansas Jayhawks on the basketball court the only way they possibly could: barely.
Today brought the rematch to Lawrence, and fans outside of Allen Fieldhouse were ready.
So ready, in fact, that students waited for hours in the snow just to get inside and (hopefully) snag the best possible seats to cheer their beloved 'Hawks to victory.
Not that there would be much sitting.
Hot chocolate and blankets kept these students warm while they waited outside, but once the doors were opened and the fans started pouring in, their energy and electricity seemed to instantaneously get the building hot and the basketball team on fire.
As if they had been doing nothing for the past three weeks except planning their payback, the Jayhawks pounced all over the Tigers for an early lead and never looked back.KU won by a final score of 90 - 65, guaranteeing that fans like this one (whose message was subtle if not understated) would not go home disappointed.
Currently the Jayhawks sit alone atop the Big 12 standings and are poised to bring home another conference championship.
All in favor of another National Championship, say "Rock Chalk!"
