Florida and Ohio State – NCAA National Championship Monopoly

What’s with both sports – football and basketball – national championships being contested by Florida and Ohio State? If Florida, thanks to that kid of Yannick Noah win tonight to conclude the March Madness, they will have the unique honor of being football and basketball national champions in the same year. Mind you, being a national champion in either sport even once in 20 years is a big thing. Greg Oden, the other prodigy from OSU will not let his university go down quietly.

The Texas A&M Aggies also had a good year (relative, of course) in both football and basketball. They had a winning football season and beat Univ.of Texas at Austin. Any season they beat UT is a good one regardless of the results of other games; much like the India-Pakistan World Cup clashes. And in basketball, Gillespie aided by his star player Acie Law IV took the Aggies from a 0-16 season three years ago to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA National Championship.

So overall, it was a good year for Aggie sports. But of course, nothing compared to the Gators year.

Update: The Gators proved too much for OSU Buckeyes. SEC is on fire this year.

Tell me about it man. I live in Florida and I’m a FSU fan. We’ve to put up with the obnoxious Gators fans year in and year out. Now that they repeated it’ll be even worse. One thing though – FSU beat Florida in basketball this year, so we beat the national champs :-)

Santosh, Trust me, those wins don’t matter. It is ultimate the trophy on the mantle that people are going to remember. I know that coz I’ve always been in the ‘other’ university in the two states I have lived in (GA Tech and Texas A&M.)Thankfully, this year the Aggies really surpassed Longhorns in both football and basketball (although they had Kevin Durant.)

Santosh, did some meddling around with the code. Check the “Remember Info?” box and try again. Let me know if it works. It worked at my end. Thanks for pointing it out though.
