Our K-State Fan

We have now watched K-State lose to Kansas 3 times this year.  We went to the game here, we went to the game at Lawrence, and then this weekend we went to the Big 12 tournament and watched them lose in the championship game.  Man that stinks!  We took Tyson to all 3 of these games too.  The one highlight to all of this is that he got to meet Chris Merriewether #31.  Merriewether right now is Tyson's favorite player.  Most of you probably have not heard of him, but he is one of Tyson's favorites.  We waited after the game this weekend to meet him.  While waiting Tyson got Denis Clemente's autograph.  Most of you have probably heard of him, he is kind of a big deal around here.  But Tyson was WAY more excited to see #31, a senior on KSU who rarely gets to play.  His fiance helped Tyson get his attention.  When he came out of the tunnel Tyson yells, "Merriewether!" and he looked up.  Tyson took his program down to him to have him autograph it.  Tyson held the book while he signed, grinning from ear to ear.  We then asked for a picture and this is what we got.  It explains his excitement better than I could ever do!
