And while there is some truth to it, I don't think that asterisk is as large as you are making it out to be. <br /><br />Take basketball, how many schools are really competing for a title in a given year? 15-20 max? And it's more like 5-10 I'd say. Same with football. I'd imagine it's the same with cross-country, wrestling, or any other sport. More dillution in the sport doesn't necessarily mean it is more competitive. It might actually make it less competitive.<br /><br />6:14, your statement is baseless, and even moronic by the addition of "period". The NCAA puts the "period" in the record books, and DU has 28 championships.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-87758388068651004582012-07-22T17:14:52.494-06:002012-07-22T17:14:52.494-06:00OSU and Oklahoma are laughing at you!

Skiing has been around since 1954 so we a championship about every 2.9 years (about every 2.5 years if you exclude the years we dropped varsity skiing). Here's some other schools that dominate sports (my vote for most dominant is UNC women's soccer):<br /><br />Oklahoma State wrestling: 34 championships. About one every 2.5 years.<br /><br />USC outdoor track: 26 championships. About one every 3.5 years.<br /><br />Yale golf: 21 championships. About one every 5.5 years.<br /><br />North Carolina women's soccer: 19 championships. About one every 1.6 years. They have won 19 out of 30 championships and had a streak from 1982 until 2000 where they won 16 out of 19 (and got to the finals in all but 1 year). Interesting side note, CC has gotten to the finals twice. UNC won 9 straight from 1986 - 1994.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-55280895866941638342012-07-21T20:19:11.876-06:002012-07-21T20:19:11.876-06:0086 we got hosed by the refs.

Barbara Kidder became DU's first NCAA Ski Champion in 1946, and the ski team's first NCAA team title came in 1954. DU has won 20 NCAA titles since that first one. <br /><br />However, DU did drop varsity skiing from 1984-1992.<br /><br />DU's other men's sports were NCAA D-I up until 1978, when DU downgraded into NAIA and NCAA D-II.

I'm not saying Berkhoel was better than Dubie or Chevy, but what he did in the playoff run of '04 (especially against UND and Maine) is legendary. He and Caldwell led the DU program back into the elite. <br /><br />I'm too young to have a strong opinion on the older guys, but I would have liked to see Wiste on the list for his long standing ties with the university and community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-23166079982653736422012-07-20T19:28:28.169-06:002012-07-20T19:28:28.169-06:00WTH???
