Some of you may already know, but, as has become customary, the NCAA Tournament National Champion Kansas Jayhawk men's basketball team will be honored for their achievement by President Bush in a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday, June 3. After that, a luncheon is scheduled at The Supreme Court Building where the NCAA Tournament National Champions will meet some of the Justices.
A huge, but deserved, honor, as I'm sure all will agree.
At the same time, I've been given to understand that, in order to recognize the Kansas State men's basketball team's epochal achievements in 2008 (beating the best team in the history of the Big 12 for the first time ever in their 25 year old building, and winning their first NCAA Tournament game in the last 20 years!) official Washington has seen fit to confer a commensurate honor upon your team as well. Yep, Coach Martin and his squad will meet with Representative Barney Frank in the men's room of the Rayburn House Office Building on Thursday, June 5. Let me be the first to put aside the partisan rancor and offer my sincere congratulations.
Hey, it's a great time to be both a Jayhawk and a Wildcat, right?
