KU sure is fast losing its elite status - Page 2

How many other teams now have as many or more National Championships and better still back to back ones.

Your argument is reductionism, plain and simple; Florida may have two NC's, but barring a long-term consistency in conference and the tournament like KU, they may eventually fall out of favor as a great basketball school while KU will always remain as such.

Congrats on winning 0 championships in the last 19 years.

That's pretty much all you reeruned nay sayers have to say. What happens if KU wins next year? Oh I know, you will say "hahah lol only 1 chapionshizp in 20 yaerz lololo111" right? If they win again, it'll be "lol har roflcopter only 2 championz in 25 yars!``" Right?

That's like saying Indy wasn't a powerhouse of the 2000's because they didn't win a Superbowl (pre 2006-07).

As a Jayhawk, I'll be the FIRST one to admit that KU needs to win a championship soon. The fact that the other elite programs have won more recently than we have is, quite frankly, embarrassing. However, that does NOT mean that KU isn't an elite program. If it weren't respected, how many seasons would we be ranked preseason top 5? I realize that preseason means nothing in the grand scheme of things, but we get recognition and respect year in and year out, every single game.

KU has still fielded some very competent and capable teams in the past few years. It just so happens that this year, our team picked a bad night to go ice cold from point blank range. OSU picked a terrible night to go cold from anything besides point blank range. It doesn't mean OSU sucks. It just means they had a bad game. It happens. That's the nature of the tournament. It's unforgiving. The best team doesn't always win. That doesn't mean it's not fair, or that the winner doesn't deserve to be called National Champions. They do.

But there's no reason to act like KU isn't an elite program simply because of a lack of recent national championships. I have a very strong feeling we'll get ours soon. Maybe not next year, but we can't be down like this forever.

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that we, a bunch of Chiefs fans, are sitting here laughing at someone's lack of recent championships?

If you don't see KU as one of the elite programs in the nation, more power to you. But then again, I would say the same thing about your overall stupidity.

exactly. Logical can choke on a donkey cock.

I bet Jim can't name another state with the population of Kansas that has as many basketball championships, or as many Div. 1 schools that have been to the Final Four....

.... because their aren't any.

Comparing the state of Kansas with a population of 3 million people to states like California, Texas and Florida is, well, stupid.

And Larry Brown taking the fall for the Sam Gilbert UCLA relationship is even stupider. Wooden turned a blind eye for years.
