Decade of Dominance

March madness is a little tougher to win than a BCS championship

First, congrats to our TSC bretheren on another confy title.

Second, I believe KU, in their previous national championship, did not play any team higher than a 6 seed on their way to the championship game.  That would be like K-State never playing anyone in the top 15 in football before going to the national title game.  Your statement is denied.   

but they beat the teams who beat the higher seeds so I'm assuming KU woulda won either way...statement reinstated.

Neat guys, congrats KS bros.

Anyone who thinks winning a bball natty is harder than a football natty is delusional. One loss in football, especially late in the season, pretty much diminishes your chances of even making it to the title game. To win a natty in bball, you just have to get in the tournament and get hot at the right time. Look at '88 KU. They were a 6 seed.

Winning six games in a row in a one-and-done format is much more difficult than winning a division of the SEC and getting placed into the national title game.  Football doesn't have a true national championship.  It's a joke.

Winning 6 games in a row in a one and done format against bad seeds makes it a lot easier. KU played a 16, 8, 12 and 10 seed to make it to the Final 4 in '08. I know you beat two 1 seeds in the Final 4 but still, the road to the Final 4 was pretty damn easy and is a lot easier than Bama or Auburn going 13-0 in the SEC (including SEC title game).

Do you really think KU in '88 was the true national champion? I don't think so.

The "Ten there, done that" thing is pretty swell.

This coming from a fanbase that has one of the most generic mascots in all of college sports, with a fight song copied from various sources (including Indiana State and Purdue), with a logo that's a direct rip-off of Iowa's Hawkeye.

Not even true...plus, didn't KU copy its alma mater from Cornell?
