sports championship question

[steve dave]

i don't care much about the chiefs either but you can bet your ass that i would be watching the superbowl and cheering pretty hard for them if they ever made it. it's easily our best shot.

Ok, not me though

[Benja]

Though if it's a stupid chief super bowl it doesn't count because I don't care at all about that. Cats and royals.

pretty much.

[Benja]

Honestly I've always felt like there's a zero chance but I don't know why I'm so losery about that. I'm pretty winnery in most other things.

[steve dave]

Guess what? It's going to happen and we'll party our asses off (not for the stupid Chiefs)

[Dr Rick Daris]

you anti chiefites are going to feel pretty ridiculous if the chiefs win one and everybody is partying balls and having the times of their lives and you're doing your taxes or something.

[Cartierfor3]

Hey I know I'd go bonkers. Can you imagine how nuts KC would be?

[steve dave]

I'll be happy for you guys. I'm not against them winning it. I just don't care even a little bit.

[Mr Bread]

I wouldn't enjoy a team winning it if I didn't care about them before they won it.  I'd just be lying to everybody.  Like I really don't care about football and the two times Illinois was okay and made BCS bowls I really didn't give a crap.  Everybody else was losing their minds for the most part.  I didn't even watch either game.  I only really care about Illinois basketball.  All of my eggs are in that one basket.

I suppose if Illinois suddenly got like Alabama good at football I'd have a hard time not paying attention.  Still it would only be bandwagon good times.  I wouldn't be pissed when they lost.  I'd just stop paying attention again.

I'm not sure we'll see it. Most likely Royals, then Chiefs, then Cat FB, then BB. Like my friend sd, I don't care much about the NFL. But like my friend rick, is be happy/excited with a Chiefs Super Bowl.

I was once a huge Cowboys fan. Huge. In the late 80s and 90s. But I don't really count that now.

Level of care:
1. KSU BB.
2. KSU FB












CHIEFS









Royals

nothing negative meant.  I mean, I was super happy for you Royals dorks last month.

[Bloodfart]

Best shot is the Chiefs. 

[CNS]

Agreed. 

[j-dub]

if alex gordon 90 ft away is as close as we'll ever get (entirely likely), i'm okay with it. it was a beautiful improbable real life fairytale.

that being said:

what i want the most:

1. royals/ cats fb (while LHCBS is still coaching)
2. cats bb
3. chiefs

what is most likely:

1. chiefs
2. royals
3. cats fb
4. cats bb

[Cartierfor3]

Why does everyone keep saying Chiefs is most likely when the other 3 have all been closer in the last 5 years?

Why does everyone keep saying Chiefs is most likely when the other 3 have all been closer in the last 5 years?

you know why. winning in the nfl is "easier." the entire system is set up to insure that everyone has an equal shot more or less.. it's a simpler formula with fewer variables. it's difficult if you don't have an elite qb or historically good defense. get one of those two things and you should win at least one.

[Cartierfor3]

I don't think its any easier than baseball. At least not anymore. I mean, maybe objectively winning in the NFL is easier than winning in the MLB, but this is the Chiefs we're talking about. The Royals are much more likely than the Chiefs. I guess your average NFL team is more likely than KSUFB/BB/Royals, but not the Chiefs.

[Benja]

I'm trying to care about the chiefs today. I think I might feel something

[fun muffin]

I think ksu hoops has a better chance than you think.  Anything can happen in the tournament. 

Just imagine this year, let's say the cats pull a 4 or 5 seed.  Maybe our bracket completely falls apart and we get a relatively easy run to the final 4.  Then all you need is 2 wins.  Maybe Marcus goes crazy for two games.  I think it's easier to get hot in hoops at the right time and make a deep run.

Also, it's easier to make the tourney in hoops; so at least there is a chance at the title. 


(and i understand we haven't been to the final four since 64)

Other semi-related thoughts....

While I certainly want and would love to have a national championship, I can easily enjoy Cat sports without one.  As long as the Cats are making the postseason that is good enough for me. Because if they are consistently making the postseason then I can allow myself to hope and dream that they'll win it all.  And it's fun to picture Marcus Foster or a Collin Klein lifting up that trophy. 

However, I would not be happy if like KU or ISU fans "we have to wait till basketball season" or vice versa.  I've seen some of the posts on the phog where they moan about not being able to enjoy their saturdays because of their football team.  That would make me really sad.

Chiefs have the best chance from a competitive standpoint.

If I found out I had HIV and Ebola the day after a Cats FB natty, I'd be like:

[TownieCat]

Pretty dumb to think that the team who hasn't won a playoff game in over 20 years is most likely to win a championship out of that group.
