They have to be 6th then.

In all seriousness, is Syracuse that high?

You wouldn't think so but yes. (on Syracuse)

:spock:

Did I say they were on the same level now, or did I say there was a time period - WHICH IS THE SAME PERIOD THIS ARTICLE IS REFERRING TO YOU ****ING SHIT FOR BRAINS - that they were even?

My God, you are dumb as a rock.

Can't wait to hear you respond with something that again has absolutely nothing to do with the original argument.

Quite the superiority complex in this thread. I thought it was a good article. I'm a few years younger than the author, but I remember Mizzou winning the Big 8 a few times, they made the NCAA Tournament almost every year, including an Elite Eight, and they were a huge pain in the ass for Kansas.

The part about "showing the nation we're back" is just a rallying cry... I think the main point is that they would like to get something close to what they had back then, and that at the moment it looks like they might have the coach that can provide it.

I went to KU during those times, and believe me, there was nothing assured about KU victories as it is today. The Big 8 was dominant, great teams and great players (even if MU constantly flared out in the NCAA's). In fact, we used to jab MU this way:

"If you want to win conference championships, go to Missouri, if you want to win national championships, go to Kansas". For a while Mizzou was that good, and it made the games really exciting, even at Allen Field House.

I remember the Big 8 boasting it had the best starting 5 in the nation with Manning, Grant, Grayer, Richmond, and Smith. It seemed like almost every team had at least one great player.

Don't get me wrong, I like being on top, but if its too easy, its not as satisfying. The KU-Texas games have been more interesting than the MU or K-State rivalries as of late. I'm glad to see some life back in those programs, but, as always, KU will be the place you want togo to win national championships....not just conference championships!

I totally agree. Don't get me wrong, I miss Quin Snyder, but after a few years I'd love to see KSU-KU and Mizzou-KU brought up to the same level where Texas-KU has been for the past 5 years or so.

DeArmond is pretty much a turd. He wants it to mean more than it is.

In reality, it's a Monday game that nobody outside of the two state area cares about.
