The previous post was about football history. Think about this:
This upcoming season marks the 80th anniversary of MU winning a football conference title outright. We were in the Big Six then. And the head coach was an interim coach who filled in while Don Faurot was serving in the Navy at the end of WWII. We were 6-4 in the regular season and 5-0 in conference. Ended the season with a loss to TX in the Cotton Bowl.
80 years. What a drought.
In 1960, we were awarded the conference title only after KU forfeited a win against us because of using an ineligible player.
In 1969, we tied with NU for the Big 8 title.
