I hadn't thought about it, but was the last home loss against Evansville on Carl Hall's senior night? If so, that's the last home game I was lucky enough to attend.
I agree; we should celebrate this! I remember our loss to Temple which ended one of our long streaks (does anyone recall how long it was?) and it was suddenly heartbreaking due to both the loss and the fact that we didn't appreciate it as much as we should have at the time.
KU fans are not happy. Amazing how much junk they talk even after their team got spanked by WSU. I swear, the Big 12 conference if really the most overrated thing in all of sports. I'll take it all back if they actually do something in the tournament this year... any team other than KU, that is. 'They wouldn't win the Big 12. They don't play anyone. No top 25 teams at home, blah, blah, blah.' 78-65 so STFU already.
Two things...didn't we "beat" OSU in a "secret" scrimmage preseason? And then OSU crushed KU? Also, they won't be able to use this argument for long as we've gone on the road to UNLV, Utah, Seton Hall, Tulsa over the past few years, ALL places they won't go. Oh wait, they won't go to anybody else's house before conference season. And next year when we beat OU in Oklahoma City, the Big12-2 chatter can suck it.

This will sound simplistic and condescending and it's meant as neither.
This is something that should be celebrated, cherished and worn like a badge of honor for every fan at every game for however long it lasts.
Every one of us should take a moment to enjoy that we had something to do with it....however small. Yes, this is about the program, coaches and most of all the players, but winning streaks don't happen in quiet 5000 seat arenas that are half full.
And every one of us should walk into the next game with the express belief and desire to do what they can to extend that streak 1 more game.
I know people don't like to test karma, but things like this don't come along very often. Why NOT celebrate it?
I would love to see the University do just that.
Let's see signs on every entrance next game. Be creative, celebrate the achievement. It will end at some point, but why not embrace a unique accomplishment?
Through these doors walk the fans of the longest current home winning streak in the nation CHEER ANGRY!! Run loop video of Gregg imploring the fans to get loud. Run the end of halftime video of the kids yelling and getting the fans riled up. #WENEEDYOU!
We could do what the team did 2 seasons ago and name each game. The next game could be the Richard Petty game (NASCAR will sponsor anything...get marketing ON IT!)
But have fun....embrace the moment, don't be scared of it.....and for gosh sake, ENJOY THE RIDE!!!!!! It's not going to last forever, but whenever it does, I hope we give them the cheers they deserve.
I like this idea, but can't realistically do it for every home game. Combine this idea with senior night, assuming we are still undefeated at that point. Promote the sh** out of it, maybe get some national media attention heading into our last home game of the season (Is senior night our last home game?). CKA would be bonkers that night!!!

Yes, our senior night is the last regular season game. Chance to have a 47 win streak at home and POSSIBLY another 18-0 conference record. I can't wait.
To DrWu's point, I don't think it's any coincidence that the current home winning streak coincides with the consecutive sell out streak at Koch which I believe is at 38 and counting. That crowd always brings it and it's clear the team feeds off of it. I just wish I could be there to participate and witness it. My fondest memories of growing up and then attending Wichita State was the Roundhouse experience. #keepitgoing

haertl/savage went on sportsdaily friday talking about the big 12 being the best conference in the country last year and this year. wichita state would probably finish 4th or 5th.. no shame.. that would get you to the ncaa's in a conference like that. blah blah blah same ol' same ol'

Did you hear about the Big 12 NCAA Bar? It looks nice, and they let almost everybody in. However, after one round, they make you go home.
let's see.. wichita state would have the best point guard, the best team defense and the best coach in that conference.* i'll leave it to the brainiacs to do the metrics on that.
*doesn't mean they will 100% for sure win at ue tomorrow, though. just like ku, ou, isu could lose there also this year.
