Title: Is this the year we break The Streak?
Post by: SkinnyBenny on February 08, 2020, 10:00:48 PM
Do we still have that streak of being over .500 in home games for like the last kabillion seasons? If so, that's gotta be gonezo this year, right?

actually, i believe we've already guaranteed adding another glorious year to the longest and most impressive streak in collegiate athletics.  maybe we still need one more win.

Never mind, I found it.

Kansas State has enjoyed 73 straight seasons with a winning record on its home courts. The streak has spanned four arenas and 10 head coaches. Since the streak began in 1946 at Nichols Gym, the program has an impressive 796-209(.792) mark at home.

They're still omitting the parts they used to promote about that being the record.

Just did some looking at home records during Wooldridge and Asbury's coaching days:

Asbury
-------------------
94-95   9-5
95-96   9-4
96-97   9-6
97-98   12-2
98-99   12-2
99-00   8-7

Wooldridge
-------------------
00-01   8-7
01-02   12-5
02-03   11-5
03-04   12-4
04-05   13-5
05-06   13-4

Asbury tried really hard to ruin the streak.  I'm actually surprised Wooldridge wasn't ever close to ruining the streak sans his first year with the mess Asbury left him.  oscar is really playing with fire here.

IMPORTANT:

D.Scott put out a tweet and story asserting The Streak is already dead, citing that KSU is 6-7 at home so far this year and can't achieve a winning home record by beating ISU on Saturday.

Quote
K-State, which entered the day in last place in the Big 12 and two games behind Oklahoma State, has not only assured itself of becoming the first team in Big 12 history to win at least a share of the regular-season title one year only to finish last place in the league standings the following season, but K-State has now ended a streak at home spanning nearly three-quarters of a century.

And that is tough.

K-State, behind a 6-7 record this season in games played in Manhattan, and with only the regular-season finale against Iowa State remaining, is assured of not posting a home winning season for the first time in 74 years — a streak that began during the 1946-47 season and spanned three different arenas — Nichols Gym (1946-50), Ahearn Field House (1950-88) and Bramlage Coliseum (1988-present).

KSU's site lists KSU as 8-8 at home currently.  I went through the schedule and found that count properly excludes the 2 exhibition home wins, but does include the "home" loss to St. Louis in KC.  The site lists an 0-3 neutral record representing the 2 L's in Florida and 1 in NJ.

KSU's record in the fOOD this year is actually 8-7, meaning The Streak is still completely on the line vs. mold aggie.  Am I missing something or is D.Scott drunk again?

I wouldn't be concerned about this with respect to how monumental saturday is.

The lone discrepancy, aside from D.Scott not being able to count basketball results as carefully as he counted beauty and the beach boobs, is the non-fOOD "home" game.  Those weren't even things that took place for most of The Streak, and there's been so few times when 1 game would've made a difference in extending it.

Whether there's been errors in the past and even if they mattered, KSU has committed to The Streak being alive and under any measure, Saturday's result will determine if it ends.

What's more damning is that if it ends, it will be to a mold aggie squad that hasn't won on the road even once this season.  Rock bottom.

The squawks relatively recently put together a jarring streak of 2 consecutive seasons with losing records at home from 1961-1963, just a few years after the 58-59 edition limped to .500 at home.

Kansas State's The Streak is one of the most untouchable records in sports.

If this craptastic team can preserve #TheStreak, it's a really stupid accomplishment. What's KU's relative streak?

The squawks relatively recently put together a jarring streak of 2 consecutive seasons with losing records at home from 1961-1963, just a few years after the 58-59 edition limped to .500 at home.

Kansas State's The Streak is one of the most untouchable records in sports.
TY for that info, Trim.

Game forecast: Cats get off to bad start, fight back to take lead, go into deep swoon at 8-9 minute mark get down by about 10, make a final push at about 3 minutes, lose by 5 or less.

Now that we don't have to be so stressed about fundraising at FattyFests, maybe we should start incorporating a celebration of The Streak.  Will there be fire code issues at Mae's if we're bringing in a cake with 74 (and counting) candles?

I think we're better this year than last. Today's loss hurt, looking at the schedule I have us at 8-9 for the season. After Colorado on Friday, the home noncon is filled with dogs. Iowa State and TCU will be crap, we'll beat OU again. Better hope that Big 12/SEC Challenge game vs. A&M gets corona'd.

Ultimately it was fine, you can find reasons to be hopeful, if that's what you want, you can also find reasons to meltdown. I don't know how much you can really draw from the first game from a bunch of freshmen and sophomores who couldn't even scrimmage 5-on-5 until last Thursday.

i haven't looked at the schedule, but i assume there's a bunch of small-timey teams coming in?  problem is that they might be more likely to be ravaged by covid, and so those games cancelled.  this might come down to whether we count games where the other team cancels as forfeits/Ws.

The streak is over bro. I'm glad this game is postponed, they shouldn't have played the OSU game either. I'm sure this will get rescheduled at the end of the year, there is a week and a half of no games to accommodate for rescheduling.

Tough break for flood aggie, this was their only chance left to get a W. Since I knew the streak was over 6 weeks ago and I've come to terms with it, I'm more invested in ISU going 0 for the conference season.

I think I can say with a high amount of confidence that this will likely be the worst season since 1945-46... the next year is when the Streak started.

45-46 was also the last time K-State lost to a MIAA school (Washburn).

I think I can say with a high amount of confidence that this will likely be the worst season since 1945-46... the next year is when the Streak started.

45-46 was also the last time K-State lost to a MIAA school (Washburn).

And we canned Knorr's ASS.

Hope they just continue to brag about the streak, but with an asterisk noting it has happened in every full non-con/conference season/real season since......

No, I’d settle for a modicum of competitiveness.  As it is, I’d rather read a book than watch this team play.

I'm definitely considering the source on that one, but assuming it could be true flood aggie has to be pissed because they will definitely finish last if that game isn't going to be played.

Next loss ends it. If the iowa state game comes back, we could lose one and still get to .500.

i think we should proceed as if the isu game will be played and as if a tie extends the streak.  two losses to clinch.

It’s done, unless ISU reschedules and we win out and change it to a streak of not having a losing record at home.

i still say the next loss will be the one that officially puts us under.  as long as the isu game looms as a possibility, we haven't exhausted every avenue to keeping our home non-losing streak alive.

To put a bow on things and since I had the media guide up to track other lesser streaks, here's what was in this year's about The Streak:

Quote
Home Winning Season Streak Continues
  • K-State extended its streak of having a winning record on its home courts to 74 after posting a 79-63 over Iowa State in the home finale on March 7. The Wildcats registered a 9-8 record at home venues (Bramlage Coliseum and the T-Mobile Center (formerly Sprint Center) in Kansas City) in 2019-20, including a 9-7 mark at Bramlage Coliseum.
  • The 74-year streak has spanned three different arenas and 10 head coaches. Since the streak began in 1946 at Nichols Gym, the program has an impressive 805-217 (.788) record in their home venues.
  • One of the eight home losses in 2019-20 was a 66-63 setback to Saint Louis on Dec. 21 in the Wildcat Classic at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, which counted as a home game since K-State controls the ticket and the game operations. It was just the second loss in 10 Wildcat Classics at the T-Mobile Center and the first since 2010.
  • K-State is 187-46 (.824) at home over the last 14 seasons (2006-07 to 2019-20), including 82-39 (.705) in Big 12 play.

Do we still have that streak of being over .500 in home games for like the last kabillion seasons? If so, that's gotta be gonezo this year, right?

we did it, joe, we did it (i may be a game early or a game late).  also got that 5 game bramlage losing streak trim researched up last night.
