C’mon give us our game

If we didn’t win those 9 Conference Championships, the chance of winning a NC would be pretty slim. Those 9 Championship means were we good enough to contest for the NC, not winning the conference means we were not, i.e. without one, you likely don’t have the other. I would trade 2 or 3, maybe even 4 conference tittles for NC but now way I give up all 9 for 1 NC. I always ask my friends that question why KU does no have more titles, would rather have a team that is consistently in the top 10 and regularly wins 30 games per year, or a team that has a magical season once or twice every twenty years and it is middle of the pack the rest of time, like Arkansas, Houston, Memphis, Villanova, UNC State, Buttler? The answer is almost always that continuous success, even without a NC is better.

@jhawk7782 . RussRob was a scorer in HS. He gave that up to eventually become the rock of the '08 Championship team.

He said he wasn’t affected by his dad being at the game. We’ll see about that… he certainly seemed like a man possessed. If he doesn’t always hustle like that we’ll have to find a way to keep his dad in the USA this season! I thought a few of his moves last night created the best highlights. You just don’t see big men who can move their feet like that… heck… you don’t find 6-footers who can do some of those moves! I wish we could hold him here for 4 years. We don’t have many lions to conquer here… but we have Wildcats! (and Sooners, Cowboys, Longhorns…) Bet he’s never killed a longhorn before! While we are down in Texas we should take him to a longhorn ranch and take some photos of him wrestling a longhorn to show his friends back home. He can start a new legendary story.

Congrats on creating the best thread title I’ve seen in a while.
