Yes. Us winning yet another NC was on ESPN over the weekend.
Was it before the Women's Professional Bowling Tourney or after?
When is the SI commemorative issue coming out?

My guess is 3. I bet you would trade all of those TFC's for just 3 extra football titles spaced between 1969 and today.

More impressive? No. More relevant? Hell yes. Nobody gives a frick about track and field.

So Dale, are you happy with the way this year turned out? You got a NC in track and had a joke of a football season. That tops a NC in football?

Tops a Cotton Bowl for sure...

I bet if you polled people, 90% or more couldn't tell you who won the last or any NCAA Track and Field Championships. LSU obviously has a great track program, but even when I was in college, I heard it referenced maybe once.

You may be right but I would personally rather see my school win a NC in football as opposed to T&F. This might not be how 100% of the U.S. population feels but any RANTer is lying to themselves if they don't agree.

This is a coming of age thread. One of those classic Disney types.

If you can't play defense, it ain't a sport.

running isn't a sport.
It's a part of football practice.

You're thinking of Missouri. Not track and field.

What about a javelin?
Or poll vaulting? Do you do that in practice?
We talkin' 'bout practice.

I can't tell you who won a single T&F championship, but...

LSU, like Arkansas has multiple NC in T&F. That being said, a NC in football is WAY more impressive. Not even close.
