Oh great, another “<insert college> is pathetic” thread. You spend a lot of time worrying about other schools.

Maybe a hot take but Kansas would have been better off telling Dickinson to kick rocks. They need a true 5 that actually plays defense to not be the same type of team they were last year. Dickinson is not a plus player at the 5.

Kansas won 2 Helms Goblets over 100 years ago...counting those :rolleyes: like Cuse does
They didn't even win them. There was no tournament. Some guy in a bakery in the 1940's decided to go back and look at results and then just decided who was (in his opinion) the best team in those years. I am not joking. It's an award from a damn bakery and they hang 2 banners for it lmfao

"Those from 1919–20 through 1941–42 were selected retroactively in 1943." Kansas "won" "championships" for 1922 and 1923.

To be fair, the guy in the bakery didn't make the decisions. He hired some other dude to unilaterally decide who'd won titles decades earlier.

So it’s only half baked ridiculous!

Has Kansas always included these two Helms designations (awarded in 1943 for the 1922 and 1923 seasons) in their Championship totals? If not, does anybody know when Kansas started including the Helms recognition?

I'm 100x more impressed by their win over a Castle-less UConn this year than I am a Helms trophy.

Btw, for anyone who isn't aware, the Helms foundation is a bakery
Was a bakery.

So basically moldy bread in their trophy case and they are acting as if it was the same as right out of the oven.

Even most Jayhawk fans I know admit the Helms are not championships.

Hunter Dickenson did just announce he's coming back. So their odds of a real one went up.

Saw a UK fan chime in on twitter essentially disparaging a UConn education - which is hilarious given Kentucky is essentially a community college lol.

Thanks, I assumed it was named after Ed Helms because its funny a-f when teams claim it as a championship

UConn is a top tier school. But that is besides the point. Notice how the dim witted Kentucky fans are resorting to putting down UConn but it after #6 it never has anything to do about winning basketball games or titles

Kansas is a legit historical power with great fans. I’ll save my douchery for other teams.
