What else do they have? It never ceases to amaze me how fans of "football schools" constantly want to downplay KU's passion for basketball. Like it never gets any TV time, never has a highly watched finale, never has remarkable athletes who play in a popular pro league.
I don't know if they're trying to convince me or themselves, but I bet there's not a one who would trade being mediocre in both sports to be excellent in at least one of them. And make no mistake, we are excellent in one of them. Every academic year, KU is a consideration for the Final Four if not National Championship. Every year we have amazing athletes with pro potential. Every year were winning at least the conference championship.
But, I'm supposed to believe that the "football" school who hopes to be bowl eligible each year is my envy. There's only a handful of true "football schools". Everyone else is fodder for their season. Somehow, that type of prospect is supposed to make Jayhawk fans stew that we get labeled a "basketball school".
So, by all means, keep telling us how great it is to win between 7 and 9 games for the season, be just out of the BCS system, just outside of a division or conference championship, be just another team rather than be recognized as a king in "the other sport".
Yeah, we're excited for basketball season all year round. Doesn't mean we don't hope for success in the football program. If you had a program like ours, you would be excited for it all year as well.
