Ouch.

Seriously though, KU the past 10 years has been absolutely miserable. They've been pathetic. How is the 2015 KU team NOT listed in this top 10?

 

[JM4CY]

I'm kind of shocked one of our horrible teams didn't make that list or even the honorable mention.

We've had a lot of bad seasons, but rarely lost all our games. We went 0-3 in 1893, 0-9 in 1930, and Walden went 0-10-1 in 1994.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Alabama = on the list.
Iowa State = not on the list.

So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

True. Some of those years I was alive for felt like 5+ years of losing all smashed into one fall.

UCF 0-12 in 2015....wow what a turnaround.

Easily could have been a complete K-State list, you know? This school was dreadful, worse than Ku today.

Yeah, before Bill it was hands down the worst college football program of all time and it wasn't even close. It is still amazing what Bill accomplished.

KSU almost gave up football before Snyder got there.

Even with all of Snyder's success I think they have fewer wins as a program than ISU, that is how bad they were in football.

Was just about to say this. I am shocked that we didn't have one team on that list, let alone two.

Snyder owned ISU and Kansas while he was coach. And yet ISU still holds a two game lead in the series, while Kansas still holds a 17 game edge.

 

[surly]

Snyder was 22-5 v. ISU
and 23-4 v Ku

 

[VeloClone]

Snyder was 22-6 v. ISU
and 23-5 v Ku

We all know. That was why he said that Snyder owned those programs. We also know that Snyder was the beneficiary of some very questionable wins in some of those games.

I still believe that he made a deal with the devil.

 

[surly]

Snyder made a habit of winning the games he was supposed to but didn't make much headway otherwise (4-34 v. top ten). He never was able to recruit the kind of talent and depth necessary to compete at the highest level except for a couple of years, Bishop and Klein's. Had he gone to UCLA when offered that may have been different, but K-State meant too much to him to leave. It's why I can see Matt staying in Ames a long time. They share a lot of the same characteristics.

 

[CoKane]

How does Kansas not have a team on there

 

[Drew0311]

In all fairness. I would have loved doing something like this when I was young. I remember storming the field after the Walden 0-10-1 season and tearing down the goal post when we beat some horrible team. However, getting the most losses record, then storming the field chanting "We are the worst" is right up my ally.

There are so many sorry seasons to choose from the annals of the Big Ten's smallest school, from Ara Parseghian's 0-9 1957 team to this year's shockingly bad squad that has flirted with our most recent Bottom 10. But those teams didn't make history. The '81 team did. Between 1979 and '82, the Wildcats set the major college record for consecutive losses, with 34. The pinnacle of that futility came in the second half of the '81 season, when a 61-14 loss to Michigan State moved Northwestern into sole possession of the longest losing streak, then at 0-29. The home crowd (I'm using that term very loosely) celebrated witnessing history by storming the field, tearing down the goalposts and chanting "We're the worst!" They must have been students from Northwestern's legendary journalism school, because that statement was extremely accurate.

KU/KSU have to be the 2 worst programs in history prior to the 90’s. Oregon/Oregon State May be right up there too along with Northwestern.

2 guaranteed wins a year for Nebraska/Oklahoma in an 8 team conference is a nice bonus.

In all fairness we were the third guaranteed win. Have you seen our record against OU and Nebraska? I think we are like 6 wins and 75 losses against OU. That is a real number.

On the other hand after ISU's 0-10-1 1994 season we played Ohio in our opening game the following season. Ohio had been 0-11 the previous year so it was quickly dubbed the doughnut bowl. As you may remember that game was the coming out party of a previously little used RB who ended his career in New York as a Heisman finalist.

It's interesting, also, that ISU actually has more loses than K-State. Ku will pass K-State in the loss column later this year if all goes as expected.
