Late Night In The Phog


Our family spent last Friday night in Lawrence, Kansas at Late Night In The Phog. Free admission + the unveling of the National Championship banner was enough to persuade us to spend a family night with the Jayhawks at KU. Even if you're not a big KU fan, being inside a filled-to-capacity Phog Allen Fieldhouse is an exciting experience.

Brian and Joe have been to a couple of basketball games in recent years, but I had not been inside "The Phog" in a very long time. About 10 years ago, Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls played an exhibition game there and a bunch of us went. I'll never forget the lightning storm of flashes that went off every time MJ touched the ball. It was amazing!

During Late Night In The Phog, Coach Bill Self addressed the crowd, the team scrimmaged, etc. and of course they unveiled the new banners (NCAA Champs, Final Four, Big 12 Champs). Someone in our family even caught a cool t-shirt :)

Great time as a family and good memories. Here's some pics:
