I wasn't aware of that. I would have thought it is a great climate for it.

It's been determined that the low 40s is the ideal temperature to run marathons.
Don't know about X country, but I'd imagine something similar.

I would say that's about right but it's definitely a fine line. I ran a XC race in the snow once and that was miserable.

We have as legit of a claim in 1930 as anyone, IMO. See sig quote.

Match. They call them matches, mate. Just like tennis, except Mongo was never a racquet in game of life.

Does Florida have an equestrian team?


I lived near Ocala for a while. If you know horses, the only place better is living near the Kentucky Derby. Ocala is a half hour away from Gainesville. Yet, Florida DOES NOT have an equestrian team. Amazing.

Someone showed in another thread that Florida has won national titles in 13 sports. When I lived in Florida, I remember that they played in the national title series in baseball and also volleyball and also lacrosse in a 2 year span and they didn't win those championships. So, they were VERY close to having 16. That is just mind boggling.

I really can't believe that LSU hasn't won a national title in basketball considering all the talent that has come and gone.



It really is fricking crazy we haven't gotten at least one.

We have had some legends come through the program.

Florida will always have a tough time recruiting elite long distance runners. I grew up in central Florida, and it's not a great climate for that sport.




When I lived in Destin, Florida I had a buddy that was a paramedic. He used to say that during the summer they were treating joggers nearly every day there. Folks from the Northeast would come down and go for a jog only to drop like flies in the heat.

Arkansas:

Baseball -- numerous CWS appearances, one natty runner-up. At some point I'd have to think DVH will win one. Just have to get to Omaha and then get hot (see Virginia last year).

Women's Cross Country -- Have finished 2nd at NCAAs four different times. Just have to have it come together for one day.

Golf (either gender) -- Recent natty runner-up on the men's side, women have been top 5 in past, both generally nationally competitive. Another case where you'd just have to get hot for a week.

Gymnastics -- two Super Six appearances, national top 10 now. In that case you just have get to the SS and then get hot for one night.

Women's hoops -- one Final Four, but it's gonna be hard for anyone other than UConn or Notre Dame to win one any time soon.

Volleyball -- occasional NCAA team; not holding my breath.

Tennis (either gender) -- not bloody likely.

W Swimming/Diving -- ditto.

Don't play any of those goofy sports like equestrian or lacrosse

I didn't realize they smoked enough weed in Starkville to be elite disc golfers.

The NCAA tourney started 4 years later.

quote:

In 1935, Pitt, as Eastern Intercollegiate champions representing the best of the East, lost a 41-37 season-ending contest to SEC champion LSU in the American Legion Bowl in Atlantic City, LSU would claim the national championship.



LSU has 46 national titles most in the SEC. 43 recognized are by the NCAA, the 3 football titles aren't, so we are tied with Arkansas.
