It’s March and the madness is soon to start. March Madness is a big deal here in Kansas, so it’s important to celebrate with the top-ranked snacks. You have the alma mater down to the beat, it’s taken you a semester, but you’ve finally learned the Fight Song Clap, and waving the wheat has never been more golden. We’ve said it from the beginning and we’ll say it again – this is our year. From crimson cake to sunflower cookies, add one more layer to the dedication and munch on some themed snacks as we watch our boys bring it back to Lawrence.
