Gators Indoor Track & Field win schools 41st National TItle

[NVGator]

I do. I'm 67, been a Gator all my life, have my degree from there and follow all our sports. I appreciate the efforts and successes of all our coaches and athletes. Am proud of the consistent, ongoing accomplishments of each and every program, men and women's. Gooooo Gators!!!

Do you understand what adding 3 exclamation points after “Go Gators” does to Ox? Just warning you.

YOU GUYS NEED TO GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bushmaster]

I want us to be great in football and when we aren't, its kinda depressing, moreso than sucking at other sports.

That said, there is no reason to be great in football and suck at other sports. Be great in everything.

 

[ChiefGator]

Great accomplishment, of course some think it nothing because it is not football or perhaps men's bball.

 

[GR8 2B]

Great accomplishment.

This. No apologies.

Gators Win ! Gators Win ! Oh My.

You know, there is sort of a correlation in play here with 2006 being the outlier.

When our "other" sports are good, the football team isn't.

When our football team is good, the "other" teams aren't.

Luckily, our "other" teams have been doing poorly this year. Wait, wut? Yeah, let's run with that.

 

[rogdochar]

Especially since the Gators have like 15 to 20 fewer Sports than those West Coast Schools do..

I think we could knock Stanford off their perennial throne, if we just went after them in their major sport of acupuncture.

Announcer: "Are the Gators gonna win everything this year?" Said 'cause Emmitt won "Dancing With The Stars".

The UF Athletics Program is ranked #10 in the Director's Cup standings after the Fall & Winter sports have been counted and rated. And we rack up points with the Spring sports, so it'll be another Top 10 finish for the overall program, probably another Top 5 finish. Baseball and women's tennis are a little down, but men's tennis has their best team maybe ever. Track and field won an indoor national title and will compete for another in outdoor. The only sport that is consistently woeful is women's basketball. Never a real down year for Gator athletics.

 

[AuggieDosta]

Yeah, the Gators are always in the top 10 for the Director's Cup but specifically for this year and with our softball, gymnastics and baseball teams doing meh and our women's BB team being terrible it is perhaps a sign that our football team will be lights out.

Or, it's that when our football team is doing awesome we simply don't pay as much attention to the "other" sports.

Women's Lacrosse is a little down this year (ranked 18th); last year they made it to the regional finals before losing by 3 to the ultimate National Champ (JMU).

Yep and the gymnastics team failed to qualify for the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2000.

Is it just exclamation points??? I need to know!!! I don't want to lose my hard earned OxBucks...

This is a great accomplishment for the indoor track and field team. Congrats to them even though I had no idea they existed nor did I know they were competing for a championship at this time. Even so, I'm glad they won as opposed to their biggest competition whoever that was.

5 National titles this decade. 9 of Florida's 41 National championships have come in track & field. Mike Holloway is one of the greatest UF coaches ever. Read a little about the program.
