So is UGA still the only SEC School to win a Spring natty?

I gotta somehow make it less painful to realize how shitty our baseball program is now, by mentioning that we are still the only SEC school to win a natty this spring.

NC in Swimming & Diving
Final 4 in Men's Tennis
Sweet 16 in Women's Tennis
Softball made it to CWS
Equestrian reached Final 4
Men's Golf won SEC Tournament and NCAA Regional
Women's Golf won NCAA Regional
Gym Dogs made Super 6

Am I missing anything?

not all spring natty's have been determined yet. Track and Field is getting close and so is baseball.

glad y'all won something other than tennis for a change.

We haven't won tennis in a few years now, but have won 3 or 4 of the last 4 or 5 in S&D.

When a horse is allowed to enroll in classes then you can count this as a NC.

We can already. It counts in NCAA sports as a valid and competitive sport. I can see why it is less desirable...but it is no smaller or boring than golf right now (as far as team participation in relation to viewership and popularity).

Either the SEC needs to get better at adding more "exciting" sports or we need to just add more boring sports for more revenue and Title IX appeasement.

I think you know the answer. But a National Championship in a sport currently supported by the NCAA for National Championships is a National Championship non-the-less.

When was the last time you mounted a horse and took a ride on a huge and dangerous beast for a win?

Other than your own wife sometime last month?

Pretty simple. It says NCEA not NCAA.


NCEA is based out of Waco, TX not Indianapolis.

It's not an NCAA title. It's not a national championship. It only has 18 schools participating. It's really not even a regional sport.

18 schools can get together and hold a tournament and give a trophy to the champion of that tournament and call it the winner of their 18-team tournament...but you can't call it a national champion.
NCEA tournament champion perhaps.

Then you can say the same for Men's Gymnastics, Bowling, Water Polo, Wrestling, Lacrosse and Volleyball.

The Pac 12 and ACC certainly count those things and these sports count for their own respective institutions.

I don't see the problem...especially when people start measuring their dicks for the Director's Cup every year to culminate the Spring.

Except all those sports are actually real ncaa sports, and nobody is here claiming titles in them. You did notice those 2 small details?

I like how you just started making stuff up halfway through your post. Y'all were not final 4 in the NCAA golf tourney, nor were y'all final 8 in lacrosse. You don't even have a lacrosse team

dafuq? You know there are people on the horses right?

Might as well say when a basketball or a catchers mitt enrolls in class we can start counting those sports.
