The above title sounds like something a college-aged Seth may have written, but it really was a wild weekend here in Lawrence.
First, we had a freak snowstorm Friday through Saturday... it was 65 degrees in the morning, a blizzard by the evening. We got a couple inches here, while nearby they were reporting as much as eight inches of snow.
And then, Saturday afternoon, our No. 1 ranked Jayhawks went down in flames in only the second round, losing to Northern Iowa. And I'm sure I'll hear about it from all the turf schools represented in the Sweet 16... K-State, Purdue, Michigan State, Ohio State, Kentucky, Tennessee... even Cornell! (I have Cornell making it to the Elite Eight, by the way.)
With all that wildness, I need something a little normal... let me check the ol' inbox... ah, here's one: 23 superintendents were honored for 25 years of certification.That's what I need, that's pretty harmless. That makes me so happy, I'm going to list all 23 CGCSes right here. They are:
