Gill Gives Jayhawk Fans Hope

Hope is a fragile thing and Turner Gill holds the hopes of an entire Jayhawk nation in his hands. Will he continue the dream and help the Hawks crush Southern Miss or will he crush my ongoing bliss that’s resulted from a Jayhawk victory AND a Chiefs victory? (Arrowhead’s in the house!) I’ve seen Hope. I know what Hope is. I usually find it around the middle of March as I sit in front of my TV waiting for the tip of the first KU NCAA Tournament game. My bracket is pristine, I’m waiting with baited breath to fill in the Jayhawks in the second round….

And then I’ve known Despair. It’s the end of the first weekend of games and teams with names that start with “B” or Northern Iowa are pounding on my brain, laughing at me, causing me to tear my bracket in half, run into the street and scream, “Why? Why, God, Why?? That team was so fat! F-ing Missouri Valley!!”

Please, Turner, bring us some of that Cornhusker magic (the regular season kind, not the post-season kind) and lead KU into Mississippi for the first time and beat the Golden Eagles. I only ask that you do this one thing for me. That, and beat Missouri. And K-State. And probably Nebraska (Big Ten Traitors). And PACthetic Colorado. Please.
