Well, seeing as I have some say in the matter....
It'll change one way or the other.
For those who don't know what I'm referring to, here's the history:
When KU won its 11th consecutive Big 12 championship, I changed my signature to "this one goes to 11" in homage to the famous scene from the movie This Is Spinal Tap where the guitarist Nigel Tufnel is explaining that HIS special amplifiers' volume knobs go to 11 rather than the standard 10 found on most amps. When asked by the interviewer, "why not just make 10 louder?" Tufnel is stumped and says that his amp goes to 11.
Here's the scene: These go to 11
Since then, we've gone from 11 to 12, 13, and 14.
I'm still hopeful that we can go to 15, and as we sit here in 1st place, it's ours to lose. I've heard past players say that they don't want the streak to end on their watch, and I hope that some of our guys are thinking along the same lines.
If we get 15, I may or may not stay with the Spinal Tap theme since that was a reference to 11 which is a while ago. If we don't, it will certainly change.
For now, I'm not thinking about it.
