My argument?
That winning titles in sports is more memorable and important than even rare and cool and notable regular season accomplishments.
The conversation WAS about weighing which was more memorable/important - an undefeated regular season that doesn't end with a Super Bowl win, or a 5-loss regular season that does end with a Super Bowl win. That's the context my original comment dropped into.
Unless you're a ku fan. As several of them (you?) have shown in this thread. What's more impressive on the national landscape: North Carolina winning 3 national titles (and 9 conference titles, with a long "streak" of 3 years) since Williams and Self got there? Or kansas winning 1 but pulling off the 14* year title streak?
Which baseball team is considered to have been better this century - the Braves with all their division titles and long division title streak, or the Giants with their World Series wins?
End point: Focus on the winning the Super Bowl. If they can add some cool trivia items along the way, awesome. But regular season accomplishments are distantly secondary to postseason ones.
