KU vs KSU for the title is still a possibility at the moment.

I went to KU. My brother, only 20 months younger, went to K-State. That was all in the Vietnam era but we have both stayed loyal to our schools. At March Madness and at Bowl Season, we get to root for both of them together with texting back and forth.

We have had 3 Sunflower Showdowns (as we call it) in round ball this year and really enjoy getting together over the phone or sometimes in person to watch this rivalry that has lasted about 50 years.

When we started, KU towered over KSU in football and track, and K-State was their equal in basketball. We have to remember that in 1951, the year before KU played for the championship and won, K-State played. They lost to — -— — Kentucky.
