FRONT COURT MEN, BACK COURT MEN, AND WINGS OF THE JAYHAWK EXPEDITIONARY FORCE,
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have
striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The
hopes and prayers of Jayhawk-loving people everywhere march with you.
In company with our brave Big 12 Allies and brothers-in-arms on
other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the WSU war
machine, the elimination of Koch and Cessna basketball tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Kansas, and security for ourselves in a free NCAA tournament.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well
equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 2015! Much has happened since the WSU triumphs of
2013 and 2014 against lesser programs than ours. The Big 12 Basketball Nations have inflicted upon the our enemies great defeats,
in open battle, man-to-man. Our BAD BALL offensive has seriously reduced their
strength in the air and their capacity to wage basketball war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in skill and athleticism
of basketball war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting players. The tide has turned! The free men of the basketball world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in
battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great
and noble undertaking.
SIGNED: Dwight J. Eisenbate
