2008 KU VS. MEMPHIS: ROCK CHALK CHAMPIONSHIP
 

I am proud to present my newest KU video! 2008 KANSAS VS. MEMPHIS: ROCK CHALK CHAMPIONSHIP! Relive KU's amazing comeback win for the title against Memphis with Bob Davis commentating,
and feel free to share it with everyone you know! Rock Chalk Jayhawk! :KU:

Great video!

I was there.

Wow that is very cool that must of been something being there!

I was in my parents' living room. I was also 15. Will never forget how exhilarated and shocked I felt when Mario drilled the three.

Nice!!! That would have been a great one to see.

I was in Anaheim CA for work watching it in the bar at the Marriott. That was such a crazy game. I was wearing a KS shirt and people were congratulating me after they won.

I remember thinking, I didn't do anything why are you congratulating me. :D

Great video....great game.

Oh, I'd given up, no doubt. When we were down 9 with two to go, I knew it was over. Then....and then....and another then.....we inbounded the ball with 10 seconds needing that three.

isn't memphis the only college team to not win a single game and still play for the championship? :D

im just glad the jayhawks won that game. would hate to have 'backed' into a championship.

chalmers for president :D

I had forgotten how solid Arthur was that game. I was at a huge KU bar in NYC, and when Chalmers hit that shot, it was like a massive group orgasm. I thought that was going to be the peak for me, until the Royals won that 2014 WC game and kept going from there.

KU is the anti-chiefs.

Not a college basketball fan, but i watched it anyway. Wow, KU fans must've collectively used their 'one time'.

Howwwww sweet it was! :toast: Great video! :clap:

JIMP. Great game. Seems like yesterday. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you :thumb:

Watching some of these old games college basketball has really turned to shit the last decade or so.

What a night that was. Shared that night with my daughter and son. We danced around the house cheering. Memories. Thanks

I still remember Memphis players laughing it up when they missed free throws in the final 2 minutes.


****ing morons. LMAO

This night, along with game 5 of the 2015 World Series are two of the greatest nights of my life. I didn't even get to see Mario's shot live. I had a blanket over my head and I was pouting like a little bitch.

The Jayhawks would not have backed into the game. If Memphis had won, it would just be listed as no winner that year. They would not automatically award it to the runner up.

Loved Arthur and he was big in that game. Still, he also got pushed around a lot by Memphis' bigs.

Amazing how many guys from that game are in the NBA now. Kaun, Chalmers, Arthur, Rush, Aldrich, and I believe 4 guys from Memphis.

Allen Fieldhouse would have been an amazing place to be at that time of Mario's shot.

I was at work when this game was on. There was a healthy split of KU/Mizzou fans at that time, and even the Mizzou fans couldn't look away the final three minutes. The place erupted when Chalmers hit that three to send it to OT.

That was almost 9 years ago. :(

I remember being sick for weeks after that because I walked home in shorts and a t shirt, while it was pouring rain at 2 am in 40° weather.

Thankfully i only lived on 9th and Michigan.

Glad you enjoyed it. That was a crazy night that ended off amazing!

Forgot they had that chance with 20 seconds to go... just think if they made that basket to tie, it completely changes the end of the game, quite possibly for the worse.

And I'm pretty sure if those highlights were from a game today, there would be about 50 fouls called.

The real MVP is the cameraperson for somehow not losing his/her **** when Mario drilled that shot.

did you see how the one guy had to explain to the china dolls what happened next... 5 minutes more LOL :D

Does anyone know of a team who can comeback like the 2008 Championship team did? Oh, wait.....

I could watch that shot by Chalmers on aloop for the rest of my life and die a happy man.

There are a lot of moments from that season I could loop.

Jamming up Steph Curry at the end of the Davidson game.

****ing abusing UCLA and Russel Westbrook. Was Kevin Love on that team too or was that 07? Abusing those fools after the fisting the refs gave us in 07 was amaze balls.

Aldrich absolutely fisting Handsjob and Handsjob not knowing what the **** to do about it.

That sick ass spin move Arthur would lay down on fools.

Rush doing basketball things. Doesn't matter what. He was as smooth as anyone up until Jackson.

Russ Robs 12 year old kid smile when they'd do something incredible.

Goddamn that team was good.

I don't recall KU playing UCLA that championship season. :hmmm:

Goddamn it. Maybe I'm misremembering.

Shit. We sure as **** didn't :(

I suck.

Lol, don't sweat it, man. I would have loved that but I couldn't think of when that happened. So now I'm trying to figure out when we did play them after the 2007 NCAA EE game.

All of this....

Maybe I watched Memphis beat them and took pleasure in the loss.

TMI B TMI

Me too :thumb:

i don't follow nba much, but why is chalmers a free agent in the middle of the season?
