*Sigh* Reason 24 Why I Love Him So
Besides the fact that Granderson grew up in Chicago, and has only been to Kansas on a road trip with his Illinois-Chicago baseball team years ago, it’s an odd combination. Still, he considers college basketball his favorite sport to watch.”Not basketball. It’s college basketball,” Granderson said. “There’s a difference. Two totally different things.”
None of this, obviously, explains Granderson’s love for Kansas basketball. That has a deeper history, going back to watching the Jayhawks face Duke the NCAA championship game in 1991. It was the game after Duke had upset then-unbeaten UNLV.
“That was probably the first time I was able to sit and watch a full game,” he said. “I was 10 years old. I could understand everything that was going on. And I was like, ‘Wow, I like this team.’ There was something about them.
So close to being a Duke fan. But this is just another reason to root for Kansas this weekend. Cause seriously, we can’t have 2 Carolina championships in four years.

Now I know who to come to to explain baseball. I have been to two or three Tiger games, but I don’t know the first thing.
