Runner-up is Kansas, where the Jayhawks and Kansas State Wildcats -- who should know better -- are saved only by the relative restraint of Wichita State.

ESPN has to say something good about the Shockers.  After stroking the Shockers for a couple of weeks, the Shockers responded by placing themselves firmly in the bottom half of the Mo Valley.  Go Valley!

Because we saw how hideously ugly ku's floor was, and then we put a huge powercat on the floor the year after they did it.

Kansas Jayhawk (5). Why a school with that much tradition would devote so much floor space to a lame cartoon bird is a mystery to The Minutes

ESPN = low bball IQ. Do they not understand the historic background of the Jayhawk? What the hell is the matter with them?

Actually, I'm pretty sure that ku had their hideously huge Jayhawk at least a year or two before we got our hideosly big Wildcat with hideously blocky writing.  I remember making fun of ku and saying, "Ahhhh, I'm so happy that KSU will never put @#%$ like that on the floor."  Sigh.

BTW, what's truly amazing about that ESPN "story" is that they were able to find a picture of the Wichita State floor.  This is my first time seeing it.  *giggles*

And there are no schools besides ku that are the Jayhawks...there's a good reason for that, beyond the historical Jayhawker lore.

Schools are nutty . . . you know not wanting to name their teams after rapists, murderers, pillagers and in general terrorists . . . aka The Jayhawkers/Red Leggers who were no where close to the "innocent" victims that historical revisionists would have you believe.

You shouldn't lump all Jayhawkers together.  ku only named their mascot for the good rapists, murderers, pillagers and in general terrorists, not for the bad ones.

Actually we did.  Go back to the Asbury-era purple pimpled basketball/powercat thing on our center court.
ku still had the state outline on their floor.
