Whens the last time they won anything They Blow

we've been to the final four 5 times...twice to the championship (lost to UNC 2 years ago with the most wins in a season EVER)...won the big ten champion 4 outta the past 5 years....

I'd say that pretty solid.

I'd give em a Solid for the B Ball team. Football is another story.

 

[lnvanry]

agreed....what do you think of PCness on the native american "discrimination?"

 

[NordicNacho]

Sad that the tribe got wiped out. Would be a little more classy with out fighting. I Florida Dtate got to keep the name Seminoles cause the tribe was proud of them.

Think about it though, not to many college sports are good at more than one sport. Illinois is good at B-ball. Florida St. is good at Football, Miami (most of the time) is good at football, florida is an excpetion, however most schools are more one sided.
