March 1988 Midwest Regional Finals at Silverdome

[CHONGS]

This is worse than 98 ihmo

[Barry McCockner]

98 is the worst, but this is 2nd.

what a squawk, are you apart of the squawkhili tribe?

[JKEYS]

98 is the worst, but this is 2nd.

KU squeaking into the NCAA title game is a giant wad of salt in this massive wound.  Sonofabitch.

[Dugout DickStone]

I won a absolute obscene amount of money otherwise today would be up there.

Normally that might bother me more, but it's tough to begrudge KU when we're driving our own program off a rough ridin' cliff.

2&3 def. need switched.  98 sucked, but at least there was hope for future ksu success at the time.  This is the literal death of KSU hoops., not because we hired a crap coach, but because we did it on purpose, so this almost gets a tie for 1.

I'd put Frank leaving this week as #5, otherwise a pretty spot-on list.  I wasn't alive at the time, but I've gotta think losing the NCAA champy game to Kentucky all those years ago was pretty tough too. 

[Deez Nutz]

Pasco Fiasco was pretty embarrassing, but the actual game was not of great consequence since we were not going to the tournament that year anyway.

This is exactly how I feel. Normally I really hope they lose, but I honestly didn't care at all and flipped channels throughout the game.

Thanks John

Which is the worst part - your hated rivals going to the NC Game or hiring a has-been or more appropriately, a "never was"?

[bws]

1998 made today look like an f'ing picnic.

Nothing was worse than that day. We lost a national championship shot in f'ing football. FOOTBALL. Basketball is a joke compared to what happened that terrible terrible day.

'grats.  I wouldn't have touched this game with a ten foot pole.  I am literally seething right now.  The entire day has been a rough ridin' waste.

The hire, and it's not even rough ridin' close.  I'd gift KU the next 5 NCAA titles if Currie and Weber would drive off a cliff.

Watching UNC checkout after wrecking ku for the first half gave me an inkling.  KU has a great comeback team and opposing teams loaded with NBA talent DGAF.  If the line against Kentucky is +5 or more, it should cover.

The circumstances surrounding 98 were unique.  Never again will we have the best team in the nation, have everything fall into place for us, and be 2 scores ahead in the 4th quarter of the game that would take us to a national title....and then see it all come crashing the eff down in a matter of 30 minutes.  Devastating, because you knew it would probably never happen again.

This is rough ridin' bad, because this is also unique in that we will probably never have everything in place to make a tremendous hire:  excess funds, solid team, new facility, "waters calmed" in football, run of NCAA appearances to parlay in recruiting, etc...and we take it right in the ass from our own AD.  That said, we aren't falling quite so far, and it's easier to get back to finishing in the upper-3rd of the conference after we fire Weber than being in position to win a NC in football.

Excellent analysis.  This is easily the second-worst day of my entire EMAW life.

I see you are comparing two unlikelihoods, but still pfft.

Barry is juicing because that post just landed past the Ted William seat.
