(Insert favorite school here) Wins National Title!!

Football and basketball national championships. It is the first time that one school holds both at the same time. It is the ultimate dream of every athletic director and every fan. If I had to make a list of the best schools in both sports in the last couple of season it would look like this 1. Florida, 2. Texas, 3. Ohio State, 4. LSU, 5. Wisconsin, 6. West Virginia, 7. Louisville, 8. BC (just had to throw them in). Now typical football schools also demand excellent basketball teams (Texas), and typical basketball schools are moving into the upper echelon of Division 1-A football (Uconn). Every coach is now asking his AD for a bigger weight room, more funding, and that is put onto the boosters who in return demand wins from all the university’s teams. But here is the truth: now everybody has the proverbial “big weight room.” With the allocation of resources to sports at most division 1 institutions, every school feels like they could win a national championship. As you see a school like Florida come from nowhere to dominate the competition, the George Masons and Boise States of this world are now believing they could win one now. Parody can be found on every street corner. Wake Forest football was a game or two away from playing for the national title. Who couldda believed that? In this age, it is awesome to be a fan because any team can win. The drawback is that teams can fall off the map faster than Percy Harvin’s 40 time. Just ask Miami or Florida State football, or ask that same Wake Forest how their basketball team has been doing lately. These teams could easily turn it around, and win a championship in a year or two down the road. In the final AP Poll, one voter had Boise State as their national champion. Now everybody asks, could we be next?
