What It Means to Be a Jayhawk: Bill Self and Kansas's Greatest Players
"I've learned in life that you have to take the bitter with the sweet, and how sweet this is, right here! I'm a Jayhawk and I know now why there is so much tradition here and why so many wonderful things have come from here, and I am now very much a part of it...Rock Chalk, Jayhawk."--Wilt Chamberlain, men's basketball, 1956-58"To be a Jayhawk is a truly wonderful thing. With all the tradition and success that surrounds KU athletically and academically, just to be a small part of it is a big deal. To be able to tell people you have a diploma from the University of Kansas is something of which to be truly proud."--Nick Reid, football, 2002-05"Thank goodness that Coach (Marian) Washington continued to stay after me and was persistent in recruiting me to attend the University of Kansas. My decision to take that bus ride to Lawrence was probably the best one that I've ever made."--Lynette Woodard, women's basketball, 1978-81
