Kansas fans don't get many chances to celebrate Big 12 wins
Kansas fans don't get many chances to celebrate Big 12 wins. (USATSI)

Imagine for a moment that you're a senior at Kansas. Coming into Saturday, since stepping foot on campus four years ago, you've seen the Jayhawks win eight football games. The eight teams you've seen them beat are, in order, McNeese State, Northern Illinois, South Dakota State, South Dakota, Louisiana Tech, West Virginia, Southeast Missouri State and Central Michigan.

You no doubt noticed that only one of those wins has come against a conference opponent. That's because since you've come to Lawrence in 2011, the Jayhawks have managed to go 1-31 (3-45 since 2009 for you seniors on that six-year plan) against Big 12 opponents.

Before today, anyway. Today the Jayhawks not only beat Iowa State in a conference game, but they did so by 24 points and at home in front of you. So there is only one logical way for you to respond.

Those goal posts need to come down, my friend.
