Dear NATIONAL CHAMPION Jayhawks,

You won my heart all over again so you deserve a second letter. This is the first national championship that you’ve won since I’ve been old enough to cheer “Rock chalk Jayhawk!” And though I went to a rival Big XII school, know that my (basketball) favorite was always you.

You earned this national championship by getting into the Final Four by beating the tourney sweetheart, Davidson. I hear a lot here in North Carolina about how good ACC basketball is, but you proved better then all of them by beating UNC Saturday (and oh, how it’s been cold and rainy in sky and countenance since!). Then tonight you beat the almost undefeated Tigers with class. You’re national champions for a reason.

Mario Chalmers…you are my hero.

Ecstatic,

Ronnica

P.S. A shoutout to Roy…I love you, but it turns out we didn’t need you to win the championship

P.P.S. Tigers, do you wish you had worked on that free throw percentage a little more? I heard somewhere that Calipari said your horrible free throw shooting wouldn’t affect your tourney play, but it did. If any of those last regulation free throws had made it in, you would be elated and I wouldn’t be. Just goes to show that you must work on the fundamentals, no matter how good you are!
