Worst team ever (or at least recent memory)?

That became the question during the second half of Saturday's debacle. I held that '94 was the worst, but I have been swayed.

The worst margin of loss in '94 was 28- to a 5-5-1 SUI team in Iowa City and a 6-6 OU team in Norman. The worst home loss was 18 to, coincidentally, a 6-5 KU squad.

The worst road loss (so far) is 25 points in Norman. The worst home loss (so far) is KU's 31- the largest road win for KU in 11 seasons of Big 12 play. Nice.

Those results certainly put '06 at '94's table. But since everyone thought ISU would stink in '94, '06 has been much more painful.

At least basketball is upon us, with zero expectation on the men's side. We can't help but be pleasantly surprised.
