I could come with up with all kinds of excuses for why the streak ended but it would be a drop in the bucket compared to the number of excuses ISU fans have come up with for why the streak exists.
Well yeah the streak only exists because of the Weatherwax massacre that was terrible. That's not an opinion that's a fact
Disagree. KU fans fancy their university as some elite academic institution. It's not. It's a very good school but not better than ISU. UI, with a similar profile to KU is a much better school.
That said, KU fans all have bball PhDs. Just ask them.
LOL, that's not factual. The fact is that KU and KSU each won 14 conference games that year.
See, excuses.
I think we have to agree to disagree. Iowa fans aren't smug about their school; in fact, many of them have a disconnect between the school and the sports teams. They are smug about their teams and just don't have much of anything to back it up. KU basketball has at least won some national championships.
Yeah it is, it was a blown call that cost ISU the game and the league admitted they botched it.
We certainly can agree to disagree...and I would submit that they're both tremendous ***holes in their own way.
It's weird, because I just checked several different sources. They all show KU as scoring more points in that game.
Haven't done this in awhile so I should point out that there have been multiple occasions during the streak when KU shared the title: OU in 2005, UT in 2006 and 2008, and KSU in 2013 (year of Weatherwax).
It's not a fact, it's an opinion. Who is to say that if KU drops that game at ISU that the change in the standings doesn't make them approach their game at Baylor with a little more focus and win it instead of losing it?
You can't change one thing in the past, assume that everything else after that change would have happened identically and then call your assumption "fact". It's simply not the case.
Yup. They pulled away in the OT that probably would not have happened but for the bogus foul & subsequent free throws at the end of reg.It's weird, because I just checked several different sources. They all show KU as scoring more points in that game.
And Withey's points after he fouled out.
But it doesnt mean that everything else after it would have been the same. Maybe K-State gets complacent and drops a game that they won. Who knows. Calling it a fact is untrue.
I suspect what I would think of as the silver lining would not be the same as your interpretation.
Having lived in Chicago and LA for the past 16 years and growing up in Iowa I get endless entertainment from KU fans who think Lawrence is the NYC of the midwest yet Iowa is some empty wasteland. Better yet those who mock Iowa for being a rural state while Kansas is even more rural and sparsely populated. Trust me, people in major cities will see absolutely no difference between Ames and Lawrence, but keep bashing away because it's hilarious.
