Maybe it hasn't been so bad, Purdue!

In a recent article about the audacious ambitions of the University of Kansas's football team. Players there believe that they have what it takes to be Bowl eligible by the end of the year. You can laugh and say that sounds preposterous, and , well, more than you know. Take a peek at this line:

College football’s defending national champion, Clemson, won as many games last year (14) as the Jayhawks have in the post-Mangino era.

Holy buckets. To make things worse, Mangino, after starting the 2007 season 5-0, they lost the final 7 games of the year. So that's 14 wins in 7 1/2 seasons. Just when you think that your team is the worst ever, something like this comes along.

Purdue, in the abysmal Danny Hope/Darrell Hazell years from 2010-2016, won 26 games. Nice! 12 more for Purdue than Kansas! Even in the 9 win Hazell regime was more successful than Kansas during that time period.

And, yes, this is still sour grapes after Kansas throttled Purdue in the NCAA Tournament back in March.

This is how good Kansas is

Kansas State is ranked number 24 or 25 in the country, depending on the poll that you subscribe to. They jumped into the polls for the first time this season. What were the results that pushed them over the edge?

That's right, last week, the Wildcats won at home against the unsurpassed worst team in the Big 12, but was ranked on the back of their road loss to Kansas. Not many teams can cause their opponents to move up in the rankings by beating them, but the Jayhawks have that effect.

Step number 3 is on the court
