I was eyeing the license plate frame last night and wondered if getting the shot glass on top of the others was too many... and would have grabbed the lanyard if I didn't work from home.

If nothing else, it's fun scrolling through all of that stuff to see what all they'll slap a National Champions sticker on.

It's actually HGH that makes your noggin grow, not the juice.

Settle down. You gotta buy stuff for tailgating next year.

✨ @KUHoops only had 2 players in its rotation that were top 100 recruits per RSCI

Since 2001 when the service began, no national champion had ever had less than 4 top 100 players in its rotation (h/t @TheAthletic & @CJMooreHoops) pic.twitter.com/QUZQnh99ai

Celebrating a national championship is never a problem.

I don't shell out the money to travel, stay in hotels, and go to these games, the least I can do is to buy a few trinkets to remind me of it.

He seems to think that there won’t really be much of a transition at this point.

Ha! There's no way that megalomaniac didn't have his dirty hands in everything that went on there.

Shopping for championship stuff comes with some FOMO for me. I live halfway across the country so I can't just drive to Lawrence and go to one of the bookstores or Jock's Nitch or something and pick up a T Shirt. IF I see one on Fanatics I like, I figure there is a clock on how long that will be available before some other KU fan snaps it up.

This guy makes vinyl championship banners for a lot of teams.
I have the mini versions for the Royals, Chiefs, and KU.
I have them hanging in my classroom, they look pretty sweet. Anyway, he's a reasonable guy, he only has the KU ones because I asked him to make them!

I was reading on the Phog about some people who had gone down to the Final Four in New Orleans. Man, I would like to go back and visit NOLA but I can't afford the prices for that kind of event.

Rally House here had a limited supply of items. I specifically wanted a championship license plate and pilsner glass but they didn't have those. Fanatics has a ton of items that, like Bearcat said, they will put a championship logo on. And suckers like me eat it up.

You’re not the only one. 😎

Oh absolutely. So far I've gotten a hoodie, license plate frame, 2 magnets, and 2 decals.

I'd want a hat but can't find one I like. I'll also buy a new banner to hang, plus the commemorative SI cover. I'm looking at buying a mini version of the Pay Heed sign too.

What recruits would you say that we've lost specifically because of FBI? I know there is little actual proof that is the reason but I'd say Tyty for one.

Anyone else have a guess?
