Your favorite BBQ place serves one sandwich with cheese on it and they call it the MIZZOU-wich.

Yea, I know, don't care for that, but it's still a great BBQ joint.

New owners: We've decided to serve cheese on all our BBQ unless you specifically ask for no cheese, all our menu items are going to go up in price by 20% and will be named after MIZZOU athletes and the whole bar is going to be painted yellow and black with tiger paws.

OK, well, there's a BBQ place down the road that has much better BBQ reviews but was themed and a bit over the top, but I preferred coming here because I have since I was a kid, I may still come here but it may not be my go to anymore.

If you want to make a different point, of course feel free, but all I'm really hearing is that you have the warm-and-fuzzies over the 50s. Or, if not the 50s, some other period of time when the speed limit was more to your liking.

32 players from seven colleges admitted to taking bribes between 1947 and 1950 to fix 86 games in 17 states. The good old days.

Doc Naismith gets a bad rap for his win/loss record. I know he told Phog "you don't coach basketball" but...during his 9 year tenure as head coach only 11 of those games were played in Lawrence - 4 against Lawrence YMCA and 7 against Haskell. KU literally had no home court for games. Some of those games Naismith was pressed into officiating duty. Some games, even though he's listed as the head coach, he wasn't even able to attend due to his duties as athletic director of KU.

How many coaches would have a winning record without a home court?

Do Helms titles count, then, jeez. Are you telling me that KU has not won a SINGLE championship during a time of purity and love-for-the-game???

It’s all revisionist history. Love of the game? Lol. I wonder how much Wilt got to come to KU? We all been cheating, for a long time.

At Kansas, the Dipper's focus was not on the classroom. Discus thrower Al Oerter, winner of gold medals for four consecutive Olympics from 1956 to 1968, shared a business class with Chamberlain at KU. He always noticed when Chamberlain was there, which by Oerter's estimate was "one out of ten [classes]." Oerter looked up from his final examination and saw a small white student signing his name on the exam as "Wilt Chamberlain." Oerter whispered to the student, "Somehow you don't look like Wilt."..

Gotta give a big thumbs up to the Al Oerter reference!
