3 national titles in the past 30 years is pretty damn special. Only topped by Bammer in that stretch. -

I think it all depends on the criteria for what “special place” means.animate said:yah, Florida doesn't belong there.

According to Winsipedia, Florida ranks above UW in 10/12 categories they track. The 2 schools are close in most of the categories. -
Michigan State boasts 6 national championships. Doesn't mean they don't view themselves in an overrated light.YellowSnow said:

Just because UW smashed UF and made Emmitt Smith quit in the Freedom Bowl, doesn't mean the Gators didn't win a national championship in 1996, 2006 and 2008.
-
I'm wondering if Penn State belongs on the list? I think a case could be made either way.

'89 Freedom Bowl has nothing to do with my reasoning. Its actually passive-aggressive Fetters type contrarian bullshit to make that assumption.Geevis_and_Butthead said:

Where is Washington on the list?

If you read up on the history of Penn State football, you will definitely find something "special" in there.houseofpain247 said:I'm wondering if Penn State belongs on the list? I think a case could be made either way.

All the Missouri fans I have spoken to think they're special at basketball. Football is just new and exciting to them.DerekJohnson said:

Ps. They are not special basketball. -
Dan Devine went from ASU to Missouri in the late 50s. Had some success but Oklahoma and Nebraska ran the Big 8. Missouri won a couple in the 60s
One of 17 teams to claim the 1960 natty
Devine left Missouri for Notre Dame where he won a natty with Joe Montana
Until Pinkel showed up that was it. Pinkel was decent at best

I know an alumnus. I think she's into the St. Louis Cardinals. I've never heard her mention Misery sports.DerekJohnson said:

Florida has 3 natties spilt between 2 legendary coaches since 1996 (2 years after football was invented).
They also have claim to arguably the greatest college football player of all-time (Tim Tebow), 3 total Heisman winners, a nationally known Stadium nickname (The Swamp), and currently have the 8th most active NFL players.
Would love to hear the argument against them? -
And they are all 1966 and prior. And 4 of the 6 are UW 1960 style “claimed” natties.DerekJohnson said:
