NCAA championships? Minnesota is pathetic in that category. Invent whatever mythical titles you want.


And Schools with lots of CC/Track titles are basically cheaters as many of the same athletes compete in 3 different Natl Title tournaments/meets each year, so you let the guy who owns Nike siphon some money to some runners parents or to the actual runners themselves, and they can help a school win a CC title, an Indoor Track Title and then an Outdoor Track title all in the same school year.

That's basically like cheating.

Might as well let the football players play some XFL indoor style football in the winter and then they could have skills contests in the spring and have a NCAA tournament scored like a track meet and award an NCAA Football Skills Natl Champ, too. Would be the same equivalent.

@fredsdeadfriend 's moronic logic:

"Decathletes are basically cheaters. They are competing in 10 different events. Who said that was okay? Must be a Nike conspiracy."

That is the lamest dumbest argument I've ever heard.


But coming from the likes of you, that's just par for the course.

The Golf title is more recent. This is indisputable, unless you have no understanding of how time works.

So, Oregon Track teams winning Titles in both the Indoor and Outdoor Track Championships in the SAME YEAR is just coincidental, eh? LOL

Coincidental that Oregon had superior athletes in multiple sports? No, it's par for the course.

So all the people who talked about how amazing it was that Florida was both the cfb title and the cbb title in the same year, were liars then, eh?

They did win it in the same year. Only a few months apart.

Also why do we keep doing this with Texas A&M? They've been a top 25 team at the end of the season one time in the CFP era.
Not a TAMU fan, but they were far better than their 8-5 record indicated last year - their losses where to @LSU, @Clemson, @UGA, Alabama (with Tua) and Auburn. Tell me which teams that played those 5 teams wouldn't have 5 losses.

If you look the teams that were ranked 15-25 last year, there is no question all 10 of them would have lost all 5 of those games.

Would South Carolina have lost all 5?

If they are UF fans then obviously they are liars ... I mean they are UF fans after all.

I was going to say Georgia could go undefeated with those teams on schedule, but then I noticed Texas A&M played South Carolina too.

That CBB title is more recent than that CFB title.

Well, seeing as that is the ONLY Sports title Oregon has won EVER, in a manly sport, in any of our lifetimes, and I've witnessed UMn win 3 in one year before, and over a dozen just in the 21st century, I suppose I should be nice and let him have that one little bit of joy in life that he gets from his school having won the most recent title, lol. Especially when UMn has a good chance to win another Title this winter.

Hey, at least we beat Georgia Southern the last time we played them.
