KU's first coach was James Naismith, who invented the game of basketball. He was also the only KU coach with a losing record. It's the winningest program in college basketball. You can read about its storied history if you're interested. This is about my dad, who attended KU in >

Here I am at the Met, which is full of art, often hanging on the walls. But also chairs & suits of armor. First museum visit since 2019 (w/ @AdrienneRaphel who took pic) (Rosa Bonheur’s The Horse Fair, which Jonathan Crary treats in Scorched Earth) https://t.co/SFtR7BAzO2
