Some phog guys are having fun with stats, here are a couple:
If we won't win 6 games over the next 2 seasons, then we will lose 100 games in this decade.
HOLY crap.
As far as I can tell, it appears that the 60s and 80s were the toughest on K-State, and even if I take our losing percentage and apply it to a 120 game decade, we never were that bad. If I did my math right, it looks like if we scaled those two KSU historically worst decades, we'd have lost 94 (80s) and 96 (60s).
Needless to say that KU is on an incredibly bad run. I'd be freakin' blown away if they win more than 6 in two seasons.
1940's were worse than the 80's and 60's (from Winsipedia)
1940s: 14-75-4 / .1573 WP
1960s: 18-80-1 / .1837 WP
1980s: 21-87-3 / .1944 WP
at 120 games, that's be 101, 98, and 96ish losses respectively.
Once again for reference, these were our worse decades. ku for reference 2010-2017: 15-81 (.15625%). IF ku were to
match our winning percentage from the 80's, they in 2018 and 2019 will need to go no worse than 9-15. If they go 4-20 they will barely beat our % from the 40's. Which when you think about it, means they are barely doing better than a football team that would have been composed of guys that weren't somehow fit enough to go fight WWII for the better half of a decade. KU was also 45-48-6 during the 40's for that reference as well. Though, 1940-1945 they were 18-37-3, so they weren't immune to draft bug either.
