Question of Sports Dominance
Stephen
This academic season, Clemson and played in a bowl game
(football), NCAA Tournament (Basketball), and is going to the College World
Series (Baseball). I think they're the only team that can claim this for all
three sports.

But good luck to the Tigers. I hope they can win a game in Omaha and
at least get that particular monkey off their back.

Back in the 1992-93 Kansas made it to a bowl game, the Final Four
and the College World Series becoming the first team to ever do
all three in the same academic year. Several schools have been to
a bowl game, the NCAA basketball tourney and the College World
Series in the same year. I know Texas has done it three times.

I know that each year there is 1 or 2 teams to pull this hat trick. Clemson's
done it at least one other time (1991?). Does anyone know if a school has
ever won a bowl game, won an NCAA Tournament basketball game, and won a CWS
game all in the same academic year?

Hopefully this year the team can be better focused since they take some CWS
experience with them.

I doubt it. Florida State hasn't exactly been a basketball school.

Back in 1986, LSU basically did the same as Kansas did in 1992-93, except
we got to a better (i.e. a New Year's Day) bowl game in addition to the
Final Four, hence placing LSU at the highest tier of the post-season
affairs for the three major sports that year (not too shabby). I mean, you
can't ask all that much more of an athletic program than that! Too bad
that we couldn't win them all, though. That would've been nice...

I think Michigan did all 3 in the late 80's and/or early 90's. I may be off
by a year in one sport, but I think Clemson did all 3 in 91 (lost bowl game,
made it to final 8, made it to CWS).
Has any team won the national championship in 2 of the 3 sports the same
academic year?

Interesting stuff. I wonder if FSU accomplished this in the early
nineties.

LSU has done the following:
in an academic year.....
1985-86 football......lost Liberty bowl
basketball....Final 4,
baseball......CWS, finished #5,
1986-87 football....SEC Champs/lost to Nebraska in Sugar
basketball....Final 8
baseball....CWS, finished #4
in a calendar year.....
1986 basketball....Final 4,
baseball......CWS, finished #5,
football....SEC Champs/lost to Neb/actual game played 1/1/87
1987 football....lost Sugar on 1/1/87
basketball....Final 8
baseball....CWS, finished #4
football....won Gator on 12/31/87, finished #5
...since then, only one other team has played in a NYD bowl game, made
it to the Sweet 16, and the CWS. That was Florida State in '90 or '91.
LSU one-upped them by getting to the Final 4.

Two schools in NCAA history have schools played in New
Year’s Day Bowl, gone to the sweet 16 and gone to the CWS in
the same year. Those two teams are FSU and LSU.

Yes, FSU did accomplish a New Year's Day Bowl, play in the Elite Eight in
basketball, and go to the CWS in the late eighties. Congrats to all the
Florida teams in the CWS and good luck!

Are we talking about winning two of three national titles in football,
men's basketball and baseball? If so, USC has done it several times,
winning the football championship in the fall and the baseball title in
the spring.
In terms of academic school years, USC did it in 1962-63, 1967-68, and
1972-73. By the way, in 1962-63, the Trojans also won NCAA championships
in men's tennis, men's swimming and men's track & field.
If we're talking all three, then the Trojans don't qualify as they've
never won a basketball championship.

Actually, the first team to go to a New Years Bowl, Play in the Final
Four, and compete in the CWS would be LSU, 1986.

That doesn't count. We're considering only during the same academic year, not
calendar year.
