I’m far from the only one to acknowledge the obvious in this regard.

Kansas hanging a 2020 national champs banner would be an all-time power move.

No. 1 in the final polls. No. 1 in all the metrics that matter. I think Kansas deserves the 2019-2020 national title, and the banner that comes with it, under the current circumstances. "You never know." I get it. But someone should get the crown. Kansas deserves it.

Looks like Kansas will finish the 2020 season:
- #1 in the AP
- #1 in the coaches
- #1 in kenpom
- #1 in Sagarin
- #1 in RPI
- #1 in BPI

Banner season! #kubball

If I’m Kansas I’m damn sure hanging a 2020 Men’s Basketball National Championship banner. No less valid than how they used to do football. Final poll #1, baby

Ahh, so as evidence we’re trotting out the twatter opinions of a KC Star reporter, a self proclaimed Kansas lover, a parody account and some account named after Bill Self . . . . . . . . . . seems legit and unbiased.

I’m surprised you didn’t share Barry’s thoughts on the matter.

I know he’s your usual go to in these sports discussions about who’s better.


Look, as I’ve said, if you wanna hang your AP #1 Banner or KenPom #1, by all means if that’s gets your rocks off, but you guys weren’t ‘champions’ of anything.

The funny thing is most of the other rational KU fans here recognize the COVID Title is just what it is, something to have fun with and think of ‘what might have been’ in 2020. You and a couple others are the only ones to take the whole ‘Champion’ thing seriously.

And we all know you’ll go to any means (see LeBron better than MJ, 2015 Jays better than 2015 Royals, etc,) to try and convince anyone that doesn’t agree with you why they’re wrong (usually by posting Twatter opinions).

So it is what it is. You do you, I guess.
