In a Rose Garden ceremony and an Oval Office tour, President Bush honored the University of Kansas as the 2008 NCAA basketball champions on Tuesday. With a remarkable flourish in the final game, KU pulled out the title for the first time since 1988, when the team was last lauded at the White House.
“You brought new glory to one of our nation’s most storied basketball programs, and you gave your fans all across America one more reason to chant: Rock Chalk, Jayhawk!,” Bush said, using the school’s famous chant to the delight of a loyal Kansas crowd.
