Why do we need to live in the 80s when we've had as many basketball championships in the years since as you've had in your whole history?

Louisville sports KILLED IT this year.

Football - Dominated UF in Sugar Bowl
Basketball - Won it all
W Basketball - Made the finals
Baseball - Omaha with good chance to win it all

There are others as well.

But, like everyone said, no new markets. The best thing the SEC could do is get UVA and UNC. Helps athletics, academics, and brings really large new markets. Those are schools with powerful alumni all over the world.

Won't happen though.

Who's ranked higher academically?
Who has the most NCAA titles?

Objection, relevance. He said flagship, not who is ranked higher with the most NCAA titles. And, unless you've been living under a rock, you should know good and GD well that A&M is by FAR the best athletic program the past 3-5 years. Either way, "flagship" is a title, not an accomplishment.

?

And?

How does that change A&M's title as the Flagship of the A&M System of Higher Education?

That doesn't have anything to do with being a Flagship Institution though.

Unless you win the Director's Cup, do you get hardware?
