[michaeljordan_fan]

We didn't need to for the first 100 years.

But apparently that is the only reason anyone would ever go to Nebraska?

Your program has been relegated to has been status, like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.

No ice in Eugene.

NEVER BEEN. Oregon has NEVER EVER won a Natl Title in football. EVER.

None in cbb, either.

Division winners play in the championship game.

Losers whine about their best.

Oregon has more NCAA championships in basketball than Minn. They also have nearly double the number of overall NCAA championships as Minnesota.

Oregon won the NCAA tourney when it was the old time version of todays NIT, lol.

Not legit. FIVE LOSSES???

At least UMn's 3 Natl Titles in cbb were seasons where they went UNDEFEATED!!!!!


And yeah, Oregon has lots of Track Natl Titles, many of them double ups, winning the Indoor and Outdoor titles in the same year and counting them as two titles? lol Cheaters.


And you seem to act like cfb is the only sport that matters, yet you reference a list of Championships won that EXCLUDES cfb titles???

Hypocrite. Loser. Cheater.

You seem to be under the illusion that the team with the best record is the NCAA champ in basketball. The championship is whoever wins the tournament.

You're probably one of the dumbasses who thinks the 18-1 Patriots were the champs over the Giants..

No, I'm actually EDUCATED about the history of cbb. The NIT was BY FAR the superior and more respected cbb championship tourney in the first decade or two of the NCAA tourney's existence, and ESPECIALLY SO in 1939.

And hence why the Helms Athletic Foundation and the Premo-Poretta Poll BOTH endorsed the UNDEFEATED LIU team as Champs.

LIU beat Butler by double digits. Oregon LOST to Butler.

LIU beat every other team they played. Oregon LOST FOUR OTHER games

Educate yourself.

In basketball, your record has nothing to do with being the national champion. Get in the tournament, win the tournament.

You can have a losing record and be national champs

Yeah, but the NCAA tourney wasn't even recognized as the Natl Title tourney at that time, the NIT was. lol

And LIU, the undefeated LIU team, went to the NIT, and won it.

No one even knew what or who the NCAA was in 1939.

The NIT tourney was played at Madison Square Garden and EVERYONE acknowledged it as the legit Natl Championship tourney at that time.

Apparently not everyone.

Ohio State certainly didn't.

Are you sure? I don't know. Teams could play in both tournaments back then.

The way-too-early college football Top 25 for 2020

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Ohio State
4. LSU
5. Oklahoma
6. Oregon
7. Penn State
8. Florida
9. Notre Dame
10. Iowa
11. Georgia
12. Michigan
13. Auburn
14. Texas
15. Memphis
16. Cincinnati
17. USC
18. Wisconsin
19. Texas A&M
20. Boise State
21. Iowa State
22. Baylor
23. Cal
24. Washington
25. North Carolina

Biggest surprise is Iowa in the top 10, not used to seeing them get this much preseason love

Minnesota got robbed

Also it's been a long time since 3 G5 teams were ranked in the preseason top 20

Obligatory Texas, USC and A&M in the top 20 for no reason continues

North Carolina is that 7-6 team that exceeded expectations and now suddenly everyone thinks they're going to make a massive leap, but typically they only improve a game or two.....really that still might be enough to win the Coastal

You didn't need to? Oh yeah, my bad. You guys were already the cream of the crop.

That is the main reason people would come to Nebraska, as for Minnesota... I mean you guys offer all sorts of stuff like

Revisionist WWII History
Fortune 500 & Minnesota
Presidential Politics - Minnesotas love of Barack Obama
Revisionist Sports History
Regional Civ - How We're basically Canadians Eh.

What revisionist WWII history? Minnesota was the #1 contributor. Not even close.

And hell yeah Minnesota offers more Fortune 500 companies per capita than any other state, much of the thanks going to UMn, too.

What revisionist sports history? That the NIT was the premier cbb tournament in 1939 and into the 40s and maybe even into the 50s?

Read for yourself you uneducated moron.
