Kansas already celebrating on Alamo Plaza?
I went to the Alamo today and while walking down Alamo Plaza in San Antonio, I noticed Kansas fans taking pictures of a storefront window. Turns out, there was a Kansas T-shirt that read: ``2008 NCAA Champions.'' Of course, that was this afternoon, and the championship game has yet to be played. Then, I looked at the name of the store: ``The Unofficial Best of Texas.'' Only a store with that name could get away with displaying that T-shirt already. One Kansas fan turned to me and said: ``How do you like them apples?'' His buddy said: ``That's making me nervous.''
Shops all around San Antonio will be open until 2 or 3 a.m., and they've advertised that they'll be selling championship gear of either Kansas or Memphis. Game time is set for 6:20 p.m. Pacific.
