Title: Last time KSU was ahead in conf standings & higher in AP rankings when playin KU
Post by: Powercat Posse on February 10, 2013, 01:27:36 AM

Feb 20, 1982.   Now i tried to research this, so it may not be accurate, but i believe it is.   On that day, 18th ranked Ksu (7-4 in conf) played unranked KU and won in Lawrence.   Kstate actually played KU later that year in the conf tourney and won as a ranked team too (And they also beat KU in 82' when we were ranked 18 and 3-0 in conf)


Almost 31 years in the making, but we are ahead of KU in the conf standings and surely will  be ahead in the AP polls come Monday.

Michael Jordan had not even hit his famous shot nor had Freddy Brown thrown the ball to James Worthy yet.

Think of all the precious seconds you lost researching that info.  Will KU ever stop distracting successful EMAWS from fulfilling their destiny of stacking paper and smelling of gentle breezes and lilacs?

   We finished 1st in FB and we are currently 1st in BB.  It took me about 5 minutes to research that stuff above.  Multiply that by around 240,000 and you will have the number of minutes since KU won it last Big 12 FB game, much less being in the talks of being 1st in both sports.

Why worry about middle of the pack Big 12 teams?  Pour yourself a glass of Glengoyne, kick the feet up, and relax in the knowledge of another trophy.

I think it was that season, or perhaps the next season that I first heard the joke "What does it mean when a Jayhawk sees it's shadow?  Six more weeks of bad basketball"

As a kid, I thought it was funny.
