To the editor:

A friend of ours — a Kansas University grad, who had not been in Allen Fieldhouse for a long time — returned for the KU-MU game. Here are his impressions: “I had no idea of what the pregame festivities have become. I was blown away. I’ve seen way too many ‘hokey’ and commercialized intros, replete with smoke, strobes, darkened arenas with moving spotlighting, etc. This was nothing like that. It was truly a moving experience. Ah, yes, about the game. Boy oh boy, have we got game. Hey, how about the defense! KU is the only school I know that the fans cheer louder on defense than offense. My section stood during defense and sat during offense. Wonderful. Great half time. Heck, the timeouts were even fun. The John Brown sign was just toooooo good!”

I think he approved! Go ‘Hawks!
