I take it you're like 12 years old.

From 1980 up until the Big 12 conference started in 1996, which is the era Gabe is referring to in this piece, Missouri had 7 conference championships, Kansas had 6, and Oklahoma had 4. For all practical purposes, those three teams WERE Big 8 basketball.

Many young ku fans have been a bit spoiled by the huge success Self's teams have had in recent years and think that's just how it always has been, but old time ku fans know that's not the case (even if they might not admit it now).

Thanks for reminding me why I hate ku fans.

KU is just like many programs - you have peaks and valleys. You are at a peak right now thanks to Self. Enjoy it, but don't act like you've been this good for decades and that you've always been better than Mizzou, because it makes you look like an absolute moron.

They're the same fans that think KSU has 0 basketball history. When in fact there was a time when Ahearn was one of the most feared places to play in.

Yeah, you're right. KU and KSU are neck and neck too.

KSU: 1,407–1,024 .578 WP

KU: 1,943-785 .712 WP

Those are almost the same.

That 1943 wins is good for third on the all time list. Only Kentucky and North Carolina have more.

Point me to where I said they were neck and neck and almost the same. Re-read my post.

I'm sure Mizzou is 4th or 5th then, aren't they? I mean, eazyb81 says that they are on the same level as KU other than the Self era.

I think Duke and Syracuse are 4 and 5. I don't know where Missouri is.

They have to be 6th then.

You're hilarious. And you couldn't be more wrong.

WHOA, great comeback!

That was almost as good of a rebuttal as when you said MU and KU have never been similar in basketball at any point, I posted factual evidence that proved you were wrong, and you responded with absolutely nothing.

What next? I can't wait to see what that great mind comes up with. I'm sure it will be a doozy.
