In pursuit of a mythical "Big 3 Sports Trophy" if the scoring combined both your school and your partner school? Don't consider only past performances, but also who has the potential to dominate the future? Texas AM certainly comes to mind as having great potential. Also consider what school would have good chemistry with your school?

Having said that, Florida would be the choice of many and that goes for Vandy. Both are AAU schools and both compete well in baseball and basketball. Vandy is weak in football but we have been to 5 bowls in the last nine years. Obviously this is more advantageous to Vandy than Florida.

Obviously this will never happen unless the OP creates a website and unoficially confers the title between the 7 pairs of schools. Have a draft with the top 7 schools drafting in reverse order of your rankings. UF is in my mind easily the best top 3 program right now so they would be left with I guess Mizzou. So many have an obvious weak link currently it is difficult to say. T@M and Hogs are decent at everything, but nothing stands out either good or bad.

Football would be pulling in constant Top 5 classes, baseball would capitalize off the natural homegrown talent of Georgia, and basketball will be good every 3-4 years


So, no different than status quo. LSU already pulls Top5 classes and needs no help in baseball. Both schools basketball struggles are a mystery to errybody.

Anyone strong in men's tennis, soccer, volleyball, and swimming...probably Florida or UGA.


I wish LSU would just drop swimming and add lacrosse or some niche like equestrian/men's soccer . we'll never be competitive in swimming

LSU easily. Our money plus their local talent would dominate.




frick I don't even need the whole program. Just give us the piece that blackballs the frick out of a Louisiana recruit's family if he doesn't play for LSU. If we could do something like that in Texas no one could stop us.
