Football, baseball and basketball achievements...

What other schools have lots to brag about combining the 3?

USC has been very strong in football, GOAT in baseball, and meh in basketball

Texas has been very strong in all 3 sports historically

Ohio State has been very strong in football, very good in basketball, meh in baseball

Michigan has been very good in all sports

UCLA is goat in basketball, good in football, very good in baseball including a recent CWS win

Florida has good achievements in all 3 but have mainly just had spurts of recent success

I feel like I'm missing a team or 2

Indiana, Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, North Carolina's football teams drag them down tremendously

FYI, when you capitalize all the letters in goat it's nothing like a sheep. I'm not gonna tell you what it stands for because Jesus wouldn't want me to.

LOL...

Bama has more combined sec championships, combined national championships using all 3 sports than LSU, more head to head wins in all 3 sports (including baseball). GOAT football program... Bama also has more combined baseball and basketball SEC tournament championships.


About all LSU has to brag about is national titles in more than 1 sports

You're the Alabama version of Dale Denton, Phat Phil, or Serrenaux.

I just did a quick google search and I find it crazy that Bama has made it past the Sweet 16 only once.

By your logic, a team could be miles ahead of everyone else in 1 sport and pedestrian/bad in the rest and still be in the top group simply based on "combined" numbers. It doesn't work like that.

Bama is far and away #1 in football.
Bama is probably in the top 4ish in basketball.
Bama is I have no idea in baseball, but no higher than 4th or 5th.

We've won the most NCAA and SEC titles (since you're lumping in baseball with the big 2).

Subtle and well hidden. I say 7/10.

What is with your obsession with all-time bragging rights 24/7?


it's way overplayed and comes off as desperate. and yes, Alabama has been consistent in the big 3 in conference play, but honestly you're only nationally recognized in football among the 3


eta: I want to clarify that I have great respect for Alabama's athletic history, but if you asked someone outside the conference about the "big 3", Florida and LSU would be the two to be recognized. Virtually no one is that familiar with Alabama's baseball and basketball history, even though it is respectable

Besides the ones mentioned in the OP,
I would include the following that have had some success in the Big 3:
Stanford, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Houston, Florida State, Ga.Tech, UNC, Louisville, Notre Dame, Miami, Clemson, Oregon, Arizona, Georgia, and even Tulane.


BTW, if you're going to say LSU and Bama are 2 'GOAT' schools in SEC in FB, BB, and Bb, I would include Florida.
Actually, I would put them a little over Alabama.

While Alabama may have a stonger tradition in FB in the past and currently than UF, not so much in BB and Bb in the last 30 years.
Florida has accomplished much of their success
in the Big 3 just in the last 30 years, and BB and Bb in just the last 15 years.


LSU however, has had BB Final Four teams in 1953, 1981, 1986, and 2006; plus a mythical National Championship in 1935; 6 additional Elite Eights,and 4 additional Sweet 16s. We are in the Top 3 or 4 in SEC history in # of NCAA appearances and NCAA victories, SEC titles, and SEC Tourney titles. We have 3 players in HOFs - Bob Pettit, Pete Maravich and Shaq.

Baseball has 16 CWS appearances and 6 National Titles, all since 1986.

Football is 12th all time in NCAA victories, 8th in bowl appearances, and has had 3 National Championships and 5 others from other media, publications, indeces, and associations.

If you throw in track and field, LSU blows away both in number of NCAA National Championships, and is second in SEC history only to Arkansas in number of Total NCAA National Titles.

We are 3/4 in football all time depending on what metrics you want to use. We're no higher than 3rd but no worse than 4th.

Baseball we were the first SEC team to win the CWS and have had some moderate postseason success including a runner up finish as well.

Basketball we have a final 4 to our credit and one of the SEC's best players ever but not too much otherwise.


I'm not claiming a specific place in this little ranking, just saying what we claim.

We're Big 6 in football, #2 in basketball, and probably in the upper half of the conference in baseball.
