You play sports to make your mark, to hopefully become legendary. If Im Golden State and I go 73-9 and lose the NBA championship I would covet that record more than actually winning it last year. Why? Ppl win the championship every year. Nobody has went 73-9 before. Those are my same thoughts with our conference championships streak. We are chasing UCLAs streak of 13. If we can do that, more ppl are going to remember that than winning a natl title or a final four. I didnt think much about it when we were at 5 or 6, because i didnt really think it was a reality but now it is.

I can't believe this is a serious post. Best regular season record over a title?

Absolutely. Hundreds and hundreds of teams win the title. Nobody goes 73-9. Nobody in history. Historic achievements is what sports is all about, leaving your legacy. IMO.

We all remembered the 1972 undefeated Miami Dolphins, can anybody remember off the top of their head who won the 1980 Super Bowl? No. Cuz nobody gives a shit now.

The Royals won championships in 1980 and 1985. I don't know when we had our best record ever, but I know it wasn't either of those seasons...nor do I care. Do you think Kentucky cares more about their undefeated season last year than they do about their championships?

Nobody remembers that Pats undefeated season up until they got beaten by the Giants in the SB after the 2007 (?) season.

I've always thought differently of the pros... the simple reason being they're getting paid loads of money to win championships, but also because the level of competition ramps up significantly in the offseason. I don't care if the Chiefs win 10 in a row because I don't care about beating those 10+ loss teams... the Avalanche won 50 games a couple seasons ago, which was a lot of fun, but the playoffs are so much more intense.

CFB is about the same in terms of the regular season, unless maybe you're in the SEC West... several non-competitive regular season games, if not the vast majority. The difference is that I don't think the level of competition skyrockets in the postseason.

CBB though... well, Kansas is playing @ISU and Kentucky this week, they've probably already played their best game of the season and play that team again. Yeah, if I was a Kentucky fan, I wouldn't care about beating a bunch of SEC garbage teams....but, I enjoy KU's regular seasons enough not to the point where I can't say it's all about the National Championships, especially when there's what, 6 teams that have won more than KU, and only 4 of those who have won one recently? So, they aren't UConn or Duke... yeah, I'll enjoy all of the conference championships and the great games in the other ~4 months, and hope for the best in March. :shrug:
