Glad we got to stomp their souls before they were rona'd into oblivion.
Also, could be them trying to avoid 100 in 10
That got me thinking again (yep, another Purple Oil stat post) because I feel like we've been having that conversation a lot these past few seasons. So...
From 2008-2017 KU had 93 losses
From 2009-2018 KU had 97 losses
From 2010-2019 KU had 99 losses
From 2011-2020 KU currently has 97 losses with 3 games left on the schedule (TCU, Tech, and Texas(rescheduled)). So unless one of those games is cancelled, it looks like they're going for the history books this season, despite playing 2 fewer games than normal.
Does the future look any better?
To avoid having 100 losses in 10 years (possibly again) between 2012-2021, and assuming that they go 0-10 this year, KU would need to have at least a 3-9 record next year.
To avoid having 100 losses in 10 years (for the 3rd year in a row) between 2013-2022, assuming they go 0-10 this year and 2-10 next year, they would need to post at least a 2-10 season in 2022.
To give any percentages to this is tough, because much of it depends upon how the rest of this season plays out, if at all. However, based on history and current trends, there's about an 97% chance that KU hits 100 losses in 10 years this season
IF the games are played.
It's looking around an upper 70's % chance that it happens again next season if this season is played on out. BTW, that's only looking at next season, not the possibility that it happens in back to back seasons.
Right now it's a coin flip for it happening in the 2013-2022 season, and that's having to take a fair amount of assumptions into play.
Still, the fact that I'm able to ballpark these figures does not bode well for our fighting Jayhawks.
