We went to "Late Night in the Phog" last night, the first appearance our 2005-06 basketball teams. KU basketball mania is a phenomenon that must be witnessed, so we took the boys for a night of fun. The "Phog" is named after a legendary KU coach nicknamed "Phog" Allen who won a NCAA national championship. The "Phog" Allen Fieldhouse has a formidable reputation among KU's opposing basketball teams. KU fans are so expressive, and the noise reverberates so long in the arena that it really is distracting for opponents while building morale in Jayhawk players. The home advantage I guess.
I'm not a very good sports spectator. I get easily distracted by all the people-watching-moments in between myself and the court, so I don't keep my "eye on the ball" very successfully (must be why I'm a lousey ball athlete altogether). But there was plenty of entertainment last night. The band was great. And, as always, there are plenty of flippy girls and other performers to keep a person entertained in one way or another.
