Do programs stay in the "upper echelon" forever once they make it? Is Navy still a top tier football program in your mind? What about Nebraska?

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.

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.

to be honest with you, if you really believe that KU and MU basketball is anywhere on the same level, then you're not really worth coming up with anything great.

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.

Who else do you know built a 16,000 seat arena more than 50 years ago? And KU won a NC in 1952. They've been good for quite awhile. Both Kentucky and North Carolina have fieldhouses named after KU grads.
