The BCS game was an aberration. What KU has been able to "get back to" is its long, storied tradition of being teh suck in college football.

He not only had more resources, he had more restrictions.

Please don't pretend there weren't several ND HCs in a row that had the same issues, due to the scholastic and other requirements on the athletes.

Secondly, Weis may just have a little bit of chip on his shoulder. I kind of sense that from what I have been reading, but could be wrong.

Once you've been there you know what is possible.

The seat belt on his rascal is too tight; that's all.

You think Weis would be allowed to bring in a bunch of post grad transfers, like he's done at KU (and pretty much any other school), at Notre Dame?

If he had a chip on his shoulder, he'd eat it.

Seriously, no one gives a shit about KU football, so it would be great if that isn't a subject of conversation in this thread.

So you agree they are at their floor, and are not ascending? Heading to the powerhouse conference while they are on the floor?

I know you aren't this stupid. We aren't at our traditional floor. We have established a new floor that is higher than our old one. Hell, it's higher than KU's ceiling.

7 wins next year would be a disappointment for Mizzou or a cause for celebration for KU.

I'd rather have an 8 win season be my floor than my ceiling.

Really? The post count for the season that hasn't even begun yet dwarfs anything related to any other sport/school.

Actually to be fair, if you look at the long history of KU football it is more average than suck or great.

They had a lot of really good teams, but were average more than any other.

If you look at their bowl record, they have been to two in the 60s, 2 in the 70s, 1 in the 80s, 2 in the 90s and 4 in the 2000s. Of course the early bowl appearances were before they had a bowl for every other team in the NCAA.

What does moral victory have to do with anything I said?

Ok with losing? I would never say that but I guess eventually as a KU fan you have to get there or you'll go crazy.

Many KU fans wanted Gill out from day one. He was about a high school level football coach. Nice guy, but not cut out for Division 1 Football.

The idea of sending KU's longtime rival MU off with a loss as they left the conference was scary to many KU fans being that it could lead to Gill actually retaining his job for the next year.

Of course it's tough to ever see your team lose but this is one of those odd situations that all of Kansas was willing to see MU take over the game and win.
