It consisted of a police car, a fire truck, some of the band, some of the cheerleaders, and a few convertibles carrying the chancellor, the basketball coach, and the basketball team. Nothing visually spectacular, but I have never seen so many people crammed into downtown. The parade ran from 7th Street to 19th Street. Originally, it was just going to 11th Street, but they decided there&#8217;d be too many people to cram into five blocks. I think they were wrong. There were too many to cram into 12 blocks! It took about five minutes for the parade to pass by us; it took about an hour to get out of downtown. I think the entire population of Lawrence was there!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Play downtown parade video\" href=\"http:\/\/video.google.com\/videoplay?docid=-1144649661266111177\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"float: right; border: 0; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;\" src=\"http:\/\/chappells.us\/blog\/images\/downtown05_200x150.jpg\" alt=\"parade video\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>I uploaded pictures Becky took at the stadium on Tuesday after the game, plus pictures from today&#8217;s parade, to <a title=\"See photos of stadium reception and downtown parade\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/harpshot\/sets\/72157604521245192\/\" target=\"_self\">HarpShot&#8217;s Photos at Flickr<\/a>.

Unfortunately, when Becky got to the stadium Tuesday, it was so full she ended up in the nosebleed section and, in any event, it&#8217;s hard for her to see over people&#8217;s heads. At the parade, it was hard to see much if you weren&#8217;t standing in front of the throng, which we weren&#8217;t. Nevertheless, it was all fun! I should mention that the Lawrence Journal-World&#8217;s <a title=\"Lawrence Journal-World Parade Photo Gallery\" href=\"http:\/\/www2.ljworld.com\/photos\/galleries\/2008\/apr\/13\/ncaa_championship_parade\/\" target=\"_self\">parade photo gallery<\/a> is much better than mine.
