Sure, you have an occasional bump from Oklahoma State that was unexpected, but then it is back to business. The Big 12 is/was nothing but a practice session for KU to make their annual run.

I should have said regular season "In conference".

Tell me the last time another team in your conference was a threat to the Title Game. I have to go back a decade to think of one.

And Texas made a good run a few years ago as well. But no team other than KU has any sort of consistency. If you like Cinderella every three or four years or the Yankees, then you will love the Big 12.

Hey man. You asked a question, I simply answered it. :thumb:

And as a KU fan -- it's good to be on top of the Big 12 throne.

I'm a Chiefs/Royals fan.

The Jayhawks are my saving grace.

Indeed.

I know Nebraska went after him in 2000. I want to say Mizzou did too in 99' but choose Quinn Snyder instead lawlz. Talk about landing on go to jail

I don't disagree, as a Big 12 fan, KU has the right to crow to the conference and the nation with all your titles. As a BASKETBALL fan of any other team in your conference, I would be bored to tears knowing the outcome in November of the previous year.

Yeah, it really sucks that my team can win their first Conf Title in 36 years this Saturday. I plan to go to Stillwater and be bored to tears....
