Hope SPRINGS Eternal

Back at it after a long hibernation ... a few quick hitters since our last post.

1. Glorious run by the basketball team. A funny thing happened this season from TEAM Tailgate's vantage point. Squad went from almost unwatchable in November/December (just not real "fun" to watch that is ...) to one of our favorite teams in recent history by March. Just warriors all season long. Congrats to Coach Self and all the guys!

2. Charles in Charge in Lawrence, KS. We can't drink enough of the new regime Kool-Aid. More accountability? Check. Increased discipline? Yep. New level of competitiveness? Sure as hell hope so! T minus 2 weeks until the 1:00 p.m Spring Game kick-off on April 28th at Memorial Stadium. Although the head count (and aggressiveness level) may be down a bit (read: COO Jeff D. unfortunately will be MIA), we are anxiously awaiting the game.

3. Jamie's Wish Update. Who could forgot that epic Saturday last Fall when rivals (KU vs. K-State) came together for one common goal (Jamie's Wish)?!? Recap here. The goal of raising $100K to completely overhaul the Lawrence Memorial Hospital infusion rooms was set. Although it seemed quite daunting, Jamie's friends not only accomplished their goal ... they crushed it! Yep, the current tally is $140K and counting ... Here is an excellent article on the ribbon cutting ceremony for the updated Oncology Center! TEAM Tailgate is honored to have helped with this incredible cause!

See you on April 28th ...
