KU sure is fast losing its elite status

[Logical]

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

You sound like a Donk fan

Uh...I have to disagree with you there, especially with KU's all-time wins, total NC appearances and wins (both Helms and NCAA), conference championships and titles, coaching pedigree/tree, etc.

We had too many blown chances at a title under the Deputy, but I think Self can get us over the hump soon - if we can develop a consistent low-post threat, that is.

I sure would like to be able to laugh at them, but unfortunately my team sux teh donkee bawls.

And still, Florida still has the same amout of championships as the "elite" Jayhawks.

You're right. KU is an average BB program with little to no tradition.

They absolutly have tradition. It may be a bad tradition, but choking is still a tradition.

I'd rather choke in the FF every time than not get to the tourney. Seriously, I sometimes get pissed off at myself for being stuck as a Chiefs fan (can't change the love for a team) and pretty much hate the world at those times, but I'm always proud and happy to be a Jayhawk fan.

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.

God damn this is the stupidest ****ing conversation.

I am just saying look how few National Championships KU has and how many other teams have as many or more. Is KU a quality program, no doubt but is it truly elite, it is becoming doubtful.

Elite programs win championships. It doesn't matter if you win x amount of gimmie games a year.

How is it becoming doubtful? A perennial winner with more BB history than any other school is an elite program, IMO. Winning the NC is the most important thing, I agree, but I don't think it defines an elite program as much as you make it out to do.

Florida won 2 NCs in a row, do you consider it an overall elite program? Is it overall more elite than UK, Duke, NC, UCLA? They're the best in the nation right now, no doubt about it, but is it an elite program?

Here's the way I look at it.

If there's no KU, there's no Adolph Rupp.

If there's no Adolpf Rupp, there's no Historic powerhouse Kentucky.

If there's no Kentucky powerhouse, there's no Rick Patino.

If theres no Rick Patino, there's no Billy Donovan.

If there's no Billy Donovan, there's no Florida back to back championships.



Dont worry people, KU has their hands dipped into just about everything.
