I was just searching for some data and came across an error in the Kansus Basketball wikipedia page. See if you can find the edit I made (hint: it's in paragraph 3:

Kansas does not have the current longest streak of consecutive winning seasons. Get this fixed now!

"In 2008, ESPN ranked Kansas second on a list of the most prestigious programs of the modern college basketball era.[5] Kansas currently has the longest streak of consecutive NCAA tournament appearances of all-time (30),[6] the longest current streak of consecutive NCAA winning seasons (35), ..."

They really just try to white wash things and make up new realities. So weird.

That’s what I edited! Changed it to “second longest” and added “behind Syracuse with 50.” Then someone named RockChalk changed it back.

DId they change your correction?

Or did you add the longest streak of winning seasons to the Kansas page? I am assuming no Syracuse fan would do that.

I am confused.

EDIT - Never mind, screw Kansas.

No. They were 34-3. the NCAA

No. They were 34-3. the NCAA

That's what my eye test says too.

 

[HoustonCuse]

No. They were 34-3. the NCAA

I agree but “officially” they were 0-3

I agree but “officially” they were 0-3

When has the word “officially” ever stopped someone or something?

... because Kansas is such a squeaky clean program.

I believe Kansas is a perfectly clean program.
I also believe that Doug Gottlieb is not a thief, and that UNC academics are purely legit.

RockChalk, we can play this game forever. We’ll see who blinks first. I’ll even start throwing in a “just like they came in second to Syracuse in 2003”, if you piss me off.
