Really gets me about spring time around here? The tailgate scene. I rolled into the parking lot last Saturday morning just to see how spring ball was shaping up and there. Seven in the morning. For a spring scrimmage. That is the kind of energy that tells me everything I need to know about where this program is headed. We had the grill going by nine, some guy from Overland Park brought his homemade BBQ sauce recipe that his. I swear the smell of charcoal and the sound of the band practicing in the distance is the most underrated. People can talk all they want about facilities and NIL money but nothing beats that moment when you crack open. That is what the national media never understands about us. They look at the roster turnover and the portal stuff and they miss the soul of the program. We are building something real here, something that goes beyond wins and losses. And it all starts in that parking lot at dawn.
