Wednesday will mark the 3 year anniversary of Kansas's last win over a conference opponent. That's 1,097 days - longer than John F Kennedy was president (1,036 days - there have actually been 7 presidents who served terms shorter than this losing streak).
The losing streak against current members of the Big 12 would then sit at 1,489 days. If they are unable to beat Oklahoma State or West Virginia, this streak will move into two-term president territory, passing the length of Abraham Lincoln's presidency (1,503 days).
Speaking of Abraham Lincoln, the length of that streak against current members of the Big 12, 1,489 days? That was exactly the length of the Civil War. (4/21/1861-5/10/1865)
Both streaks have passed in length the United States' participation in World War I and the War of 1812. The streak against any conference opponent is due to pass the Korean War soon (3 years, 1 month) and World War II (3 years, 8 months).
