What a bizarre coincidence that we have two champion athletes named Neugebauer and apparently wholly unrelated.

Maybe that's a more common German name than I thought.

Listen, guy, Neugebauer is the Smith of the Deutschland.

I can't figure out how he's got this score unless he's already doing some sort of partial count for Women's track as well.

When I calculate UF and Tennessee counting everything but Women's Track and giving both 64 for baseball, I'm still coming 70 points less for both Florida and Tennessee.

Worst possible outcome for Longhorn fans. Stanford goes 1-2 in 800m. Still think we win it.

Pretty damn close to 4 in a row. 

This is the type of dominance we should have always had. Glad CDC is here.

We mostly have had this kind of success. But with the old scoring, Stanford could get points from their 40 varsity sports- including some like fencing or water polo where there aren’t the many teams so getting points is easier- and with our 20 sports we could never compete.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Nice to see that the days of Stanford being able to lean on backgammon and whatever to bring home the cup are history. Three overall titles in four years is dominance. New sheriff in town.

(Edit: And yes, I meant backgammon. Some of the obscure sports aren't much different from a board game.)

Not too shabby.

Stricklin needs to get his shit together and get Florida to the next level. 

[Mittens 8253]

 

[gatormarc 911]

Florida would take a hit under the previous scoring structure because we only have 9 men's programs compared to 12 women's programs, so we would always have to throw out 2 women's scores and take a 0 for a non-existent men's score.

The scoring structure has changed so many times over the years. At one point, IIRC, they only considered Indoor/Outdoor track a single sport and took your best result of the two.

If I'm reading this right, Tennessee will have to drop their Men's Outdoor Track score and Florida will move into 3rd heading into Omaha.

Maybe for Texas and Stanford since your seasons are done but they still have not added baseball to UTn or UF and have only dropped Men’s Indoor for Tennessee since they are sitting at 4+15 pre-baseball.

It helps when you're really good at making hires. Which Del Conte is definitely good at. 

Women's golf just proves this point again. Based purely on resume, that might be his best hire to date. 

Del Conte is HIM

If Texas had hired CDC after Deloss retired, we’d be in the midst of an even more dominating run spanning a decade instead of just the last 4-5 years 

[gatormarc 911]

I thought the Vols were going to have to toss out one more sport than they did, so they held us off to hold on to the #3 spot. 

[gatormarc 911]

Still don't have a lot of details on exactly what the all sports rankings were prior to the Directors' Cup, but this is now the 40th year that Florida has finished in the top 10 and is the only program to do so.

The Directors' Cup has only been around for 30 years and Stanford has also been Top 10 every year.

I emailed our AD yesterday about the earlier award.

USA Today released an All Sports trophy for a decade prior to Sears Cup taking over in 1993.

Hard to find info online since USA Today also sponsors the SEC All Sports trophy (aren't you excited you get to compete in that next year?) so those results are what come up when you search and with older stuff all paywalled.

I do not know what the scoring system was for that. IIRC for the longest time, it was only Florida and UCLA that were in the top 10 every year.

Right. I was just trying to figure out what that twitter account wants us to notice.

I don't have a twitter account so I can't see the rest of that thread. I assumed further down the thread, he answers his own question.

[Mittens 8253]

My guess is the last surge from Texas, but no, he doesn't say later in the thread.  Maybe it was more open ended rhetorical?

I bet rifle will be one. 

TCU just won the national championship and their coach is legit. Seems like a coach we could steal with Del Conte's relationship.

Of the current NCAA sports, Texas does not have bowling, fencing, field hockey, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, water polo

Ice Hockey and Skiing would make no sense for obvious reasons

Field hockey, lacrosse, and water polo would be a challenge as there's no nearby schools

NCAA fencing is dying

Gymnastics would make the most sense with the SEC and the huge talent pool in the state with so many elite gyms. Plus Texas could use Mary Lou Retton for publicity material. Gymnastics only covers 12 scholarship spots. 

Rifle would be interesting as stated TCU. Bowling is very plausible given that SFA and Sam Houston have well established programs, there's also TX State and Prairie View in the state. 

There are also sports with emerging designation- triathlon, acrobatics and tumbling, wrestling, rugby, equestrian...

Not a barrier at all.  Air Force has had a D1 team since 1967, Denver since 1999, Utah in 2019.  AF and Utah play in a conference with teams from GA, NC, KY and FL, which would be the most likely landing spot for a men's lacrosse program.  Denver plays in the Big East vs teams from WI, DC, RI, NY and PA.  The women would likely play in the Big12 w/ ASU, SDSU, CU, UF, and Cinci.

I'm pretty sure this was in the context of adding women's sports, so Air Force and Utah do not have teams.  Assuming the Big 12 does not harbor any hard feelings, I assume they would play there as well.

Happen to be at a Stanford basketball game today and cannot help but notice something about the last five years.
