1. Throw in baseball, and :lsup: , along with Texas and Miami, would be in the Top 3 (men), and that's not including the great women's programs we have such as basketball, softball, gymnastics, and track and field for both.

    LSU! #1 BEST OVERALL TEAMS.

    Hawker,

    In your gut, what do you think of your Hawks in the Tourney, and of the Big 10 in general this year?
  3. Re: Teams That Can Bowl and Dance

    I think that list has almost as much to do with what conference teams are in as much as it does how good they are in both sports.
  4. Re: Teams That Can Bowl and Dance

    Tejas.... My gut tells me that the Hawks will beat Cincy, then get pounded by Kentucky. We're not a great scoring team and if we can't keep the game in the low 70's, we lose. This is not a very exciting team to watch, but they do play hard.
    As fot the conference, it's been a down year. Illinois is for real, however, and I like them to win it all... my logic being simply that they start 3 seniors and when it comes down to nut-crackin' time in the tourney, the seniors usually show up.
    I actually have LSU to the Sweet 16... you're tough inside and that should pay dividends... good luck.

    Scott Rabalais pointed out that the only schools that played in a January bowl and the NCAA tournament are: LSU, Texas, Utah and OU.

    Add Iowa, please.
  7. Re: Teams That Can Bowl and Dance

    Sorry, I think when MikeD was selectively blocking out the Capital One bowl, he also deleted the participants. . .
  8. Re: Teams That Can Bowl and Dance

    Sorry, I just read the paper and Scott Rabalais said something about that. Looking at the article now, he says January bowl and BOTH tournaments. So there ya go.
