So Stanford takes the top spot... Does this mean Aggie subtracts one national title from their mythical haul with the $EC not taking top honors?

 

[Capn Hook]

If all universities played the same sports that list would have meaning, as it is, not so much.

True dat. I rank UT sports as such:

1. Football
2. Men's Basketball
3. Baseball
4. Men's Golf
5. Volleyball
6. Everything else

I would probably rank the top 3 in that order, but I actually think baseball might be more popular for the average Texas fan.

long ago, Jones Ramsey was our SID and famously said 'there are two sports at Texas. Football and spring football.'

No doubt. I worded that terribly. I was referring to baseball over basketball.

no, I knew what you meant. Just referencing an old line. But I'm an old guy.

Toward the rankings, I am certain that our Swimming & Diving National Championship, as well as the Track & Field National Championship took us a long way.

I know Texas won the Men's Swimming & Diving National Championship but are you sure about the Track & Field National Championship?

Indoor AND Outdoor. I'm guessing $tevieP will lower ticket prices for next year's track events.

Sorry, was thinking Conference, not National.

Oregon won the men's and women's outdoor T&F championship. Oregon won the men's indoor, Arkansas won the women's indoor. http://www.ncaa.com/

Thought we won the indoor National Champ, but maybe not. I know we didn't win the outdoor.

Texas has been no lower than 15th in the final poll in 10 years.

Yeah, but Stanford always wins and look at some of the "intramural" sports they play.

 

[streettopeschel]

whatever. Let 'em win it. In conference we finished no better than 4th in the Big 3 sports.
That's our problem, not how we did in 'intramural ' sports.

Agreed. That award doesn't mean jack. Let's win some NCs, then we can talk shit.  

 

[Juan]

I think this award was designed with Stanford in mind.
