This seriously makes me want to cry. I’ve loved Kansas football all my life and this is stuff we only used to dream about. That crowd roar, full stands going wild and a team that’s so easy to cheer for. Soak up every second of this Jayhawk faithful -it’s been worth the wait ❤️💙
I’ve been a KU football fan a long time. I’ve seen some awful football and some great football. I’ve heard “it’s different this time” a lot.
This time though…it’s different. Be a tiny bit more patient KU faithful - good times are CLOSE!
It is very clear from the discourse online that lots of you don’t actually KNOW or love an athlete. If you think anyone in the world hates this more than Kevin, you’re whacked.
Thanks for representing the University of Kansas so well 15. It was a joy to watch you play! ♥️💙
The 630 am start time and the sunburn were totally worth it! ❤️💙 I fall in love with this University a little more every time I get to see it thru my kiddos eyes! Thanks for giving us this day
@KU_Football
- you’re pretty dreamy!

I’ve loved the Jayhawks my whole entire life. A large part of my heart is in Memphis today ❤️💙
I hope
@KU_Football
knows how much joy they’ve brought the Jayhawk faithful this year. We’re all so damn proud of you!

You guys!!!!!!!! Jayhawk nation, trust me when I say you’re going to LOVE this dude!!! He’s going to make an impact - both with his ability and his leadership! Proud of you Q ❤️💙❤️💙
Woke up still kinda sad. However, I’m a glass half full gal. And our University is trending upwards in ALL the measurements that matter. Every. Single. One. Our impact on this state is unrivaled. Here’s to our super bright tomorrows ❤️💙

Funeral services are draining. I’ve got very little left in the tank. But this picture…talk about a bright spot on a dark day. The love and support this crew has shown my guys…I’ll never be able to thank them enough❤️💙

Been Mrs. Heather Hawkins for 12 years today ❤️ together for closer to 20. Seems kind of fitting we’re halfway across the country from each other because of 🏀 but being solid as a rock means we can celebrate anytime!! Love you endlessly

One of my favorite things in the world to do when traveling is to “Rock Chalk” someone wearing Jayhawk gear. This morning it was a little extra special! I’m so damn proud of
@KU_Football
❤️💙
The reason I’m not in Memphis is because these two are battling in the William Jewel Holiday Tournament. As much as I love my Hawks, I love these two infinitely more ❤️

Since Mav was little Addye would text him “have fun. next play” before every game. Last night he was determined to play for her. It was hard. What I saw though was teammates pick him up & take care of him when he hit that wall. Addye would be so damn proud of the Raiders ❤️💙
Sometimes you take a leap of faith into a brand new adventure and end up finding your people. This Pembroke family is pretty special! ❤️💙
@Jeff_Hawkins_KU
How it started v how it’s going now❤️
Our most amazing miracle baby turns 6 today.
He might be smaller than most kids his age but you could never tell him that. Watch for big things outta him because with a heart as big as his he’s destined for greatness!
Happy birthday Atticus🎉
On this day of love I urge you to find someone that loves you the way Atticus loves the starting lineup announcements for the Raiders!
@PHSRaiders
@Jeff_Hawkins_KU
(I think he might get the most hyped for
@conley_darin
😂❤️)
My heart was bursting with pride all game!!! My favorite part is that he’d trade everyone one of those pts for a W. A crazy heartbreaking 4 pt loss today but something big to play for tomorrow! Go Raiders!
I used the worry having Mav and Atticus 10 years apart would mean they wouldn’t have a special bond. Couldn’t have been more wrong ❤️

It feels like yesterday I walked down the Hill at KU & found out shortly after I was pregnant with this dude. So scared outta my mind 😂
Now look him 😍 one of the 3 best things
@Jeff_Hawkins_KU
and I have ever done!
Go kick ass in Arizona this weekend
@MavHawkins
. Love you
I love my job & getting to see Jayhawks from all over. However, leaving this crew to travel is ALWAYS hard. Sweet Atticus told me last night “I hope your trip is fun mommy but not so much fun you forget about me” 😭
Being a working mom is hard ya’ll! ❤️💙❤️💙
@Jeff_Hawkins_KU
One of my top 5 favorite things in the whole world is sitting with
@Jeff_Hawkins_KU
when his elementary school students see him in a place they’re not expecting to 😂 The excitement and their comments crack me up. This world is better because he’s a teacher ❤️
I just hugged and kissed all three of my babies who are safe in their beds. My heart, soul and all the prayers I can muster are with the Ukrainian moms tonight.
#IStandWithUkraine
This guy’s sophomore season starts tonight. I’m heartsick thinking about sitting in the stands without Addye however I know her view’ll be way better than mine ❤️ Hers and Floyd’s actually…Here’s to having fun and always looking to the next play! 💙💙❤️❤️

Our sunshine Sienna has a birthday today. She wickedly funny and exceptionally kind. There’s no one more protective of
@MavHawkins
& Atticus or more proud of
@Jeff_Hawkins_KU
. She’s my right hand gal ❤️ Love you endlessly Sisi!!!
(No one wears yellow better than this girl 😍)
Check on your coaches’ wives/high school freshman moms. We are not well right now 😫😫🤩🤩
I’m going to be so calm and chill this year - no one will believe it’s really me 🫠
1st high school touchdown!
@MavHawkins
(I might have missed this because I was working. I might have teared up when I got the video. I’m definitely grateful for every person in our crew cheering him on in my absence. Love our village!)
By the way, if you’re an adult and tweet at a college kid because you don’t like how they played a game (that frankly you probably never excelled at) you’re the epitome of an idiot!!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
#dontbethatguy
Been a hard secret to keep!! ❤️💙 Kansas City is a Jayhawk town and I can’t wait to add to an already amazing legacy of Jayhawk victories at T-Mobile Arena!
Attention
#Jayhawks
! Today, at our Homecoming tailgate, we announced the T-Mobile Arena as the new venue for Rock Chalk Forever 2024. Tickets will go on sale in January. Mark your calendars for April 27 because you won't want to miss this event!

This dude just asked me:
“hey mom! What’s a gold digger?”
😳
I told him it was someone from a long time ago and their job was to dig to find gold.
He answered “oh. I heard it in a song and I really liked the song”
Happy Easter from the Hawkins 🤦🏻♀️😂
This night with these people…grateful and happy doesn’t accurately express how I felt falling asleep last night or waking up this morning. Thank you Jayhawk nation for your generosity and your spirit! You have my heart always!

First day of high school ✅
@MavHawkins
First day of Pembroke for the littles ✅
First night in a new house ✅
I should know by now the Hawkins family does nothing half way. If we’re taking on a new adventure we’re full force all the way in 😂🤷🏻♀️🍸🥃
@Jeff_Hawkins_KU
It’s been a rough few days for the Hawkins family. Those days have reminded me though what an amazing village we have. Our circle has surrounded us with love, support and prayers that have made all difference! For everyone that made our dark days lighter, thank you! We love you!
I’ve never seen a game end like that. I’ve never been happier for a group of young men! I’ve never been prouder of my coach! Battle frickin’ tested!!!!!!!! District champs baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

That happy & tired thing is on repeat again. I hope I feel this way all the way to early April (my Raiders & Hawks are a mission) ❤️💙
There is no one happier than Atticus Hawkins though. He’s got a squad full of real life heroes he adores!!
@MavHawkins
@Jeff_Hawkins_KU
That’s back to back to back district championships! In a season filled with so much adversity they just battled and fought and stuck together! I’m so crazy proud of them!!! And I know Addye is beaming with pride in heaven!
