Enjoy winning at basketball, and enjoy being ridiculed for having an embarrassingly bad football team. If the least humble KU BB fans wouldn't act like Bronco fans about Bill Self's teams, there probably wouldn't be so much shit flung at KU. JMO.

Well, yes and no. We would be additionally fired up if we had a successful football program to cheer for, but we do not get fired up for basketball as a default to football. They are not dependent on one another. While the BB may be a PROFESSIONAL football forum, the thread certainly isn't about that. Do we really need to hash out something so mundane?
Well, your opinion sucks. We will enjoy winning a basketball, and its just really hard to take crap from fans of schools that, while they might have a marginally better football team most years, still have nothing that really amounts to much, and its obvious this eats away at such fans so much that they have to try and kick the down sports program when they get the opportunity to. Its like a verbal bully that tries to find the one fault in someone else, despite other obvious strengths, because belittling it constantly is the only perverse pleasure they can muster.
You know who KU fans don't take constant crap from? OU and UT fans. You know why? because they have football programs that are "real" football programs. They don't have to kick around KU because its beneath them. They don't have to downplay KU basketball, because they realize what its like to be a titan in their sport. But not all the "middlings" that might have a good year once a decade that you never hear the end of it, that never have to keep taking whatever pot shot they can to cover the pain of having to cheer for a school that never really brings home the goods.
That's why your opinion sucks.
