If you are only basing it on the number of NCs, then Yale is the best college football team.

12/13/2007 1:45:42 PM

you have no fucking clue what you're talking about,
you obviously never really gave a shit about college basketball growing up

Carolina has been to far more NCAA tournaments than Kentucky and UCLA (they still hold the record with 27 in a row)

Carolina has 16 final fours, UCLA 17 (but thats just because UCLA in the late 60's, early 70's was the only west coast team really worth a shit, and all the highly recruited talent out there obviously wanted to go to college in Los Angelas, it was a monopoly)

Carolina has the most alumni in the NBA greatest 50 of alltime

The 1939 Tennessee football team had an undefeated AND unscored upon season

12/13/2007 1:54:28 PM

^^ syracuse is my team in collegiate lacrosse, but itd be REAL close between Johns Hopkins and Syracuse on who is the best team ever. With Princeton in a close 3rd.

12/13/2007 1:56:09 PM

^^your grandpa prob wasnt even old enough to see that team.

If that was an impressive statistic then everyone here would have been completely content with Herb.

Excuses don't count for much in college sports.

Not that that matters at all, but you're still wrong.

UNC has 3
Houston has 3
LSU has 3

Are they among the greatest programs of all time?

12/13/2007 1:59:17 PM

BEST TEAM EVER

12/13/2007 2:02:15 PM

so they stole some man-hole covers from franklin st, big whoop

12/13/2007 2:15:11 PM

12/13/2007 2:18:05 PM

Chapel Hill is probably the greatest college team overall

holler back when UNC wins 88 consecutive games like UCLA did

12/13/2007 3:12:21 PM

CHARLOTTE INDEPENDENCE

(minus this year)

12/13/2007 3:16:56 PM

22,000 Wins
345 Losses
.985 Win Percentage

12/13/2007 3:21:31 PM

^^ Some team, i forget which had a 10 year win streak as opposed to Independence's 7. like 159-0 or something.

12/13/2007 3:22:28 PM

yeah Independence has been really really good the past 5-6 years but they'd get beat by some of the good teams in Texas, Ohio, etc

12/13/2007 3:27:21 PM

and as far as all time, i thought i remembered them sucking before they changed the rules in mecklenburg county schools as to how students were assigned.

Hahaha! If you're talking cricket, it would be Australia (1995-present) or the West Indies (70s-80s).

I'd say Australia - 3 consecutive World Cup wins (they have about a 20 match unbeaten streak as of now in the World Cup)

As much as I dislike them, how about Real Madrid?

30 Spanish league titles, 9 European Cup/Champions League wins.

de la salle in california...didn't lose from 1992 to 2004...multiple national championships and even had a book written about them

12/13/2007 9:07:00 PM

12/13/2007 9:14:44 PM

it's pretty obvious

2005 NC State Football

12/13/2007 9:20:36 PM

^^^ yea thats it 151 games.

12/13/2007 9:23:54 PM

For a given year? Pats 07.

Both Gable and Sanderson wrestled for the Iowa State Cyclones. Gable later went on to coach the University of Iowa Hawkeyes.

12/15/2007 9:19:21 PM

Kentucky has the best tradition and best basketball program of all time, ow if you want to say the best program to have never been on probation, then yes, it's UNC...I think Kentucky under Rupp went like 10 years without losing at home in the 40s and 50's

12/15/2007 9:40:48 PM

i would reluctantly agree with kentucky. hard to argue with those national championships and the all times wins, but its pretty close, and should get even closer if they continue to lose to schools like UAB

Sanderson went to Iowa State for fucks sake.


Thats like getting UNC and NC State mixed up.

^So did Gable.

Get his CAROLINA crap out of here. UCLA, KENTUCKY, and DUKE. YES duke have better history in my opinion.

12/17/2007 12:25:33 AM

No way Duke has a better history.

Easily a better past 15 years, but definitely not all time.

12/17/2007 12:27:12 AM

duke has a great history, probably the best in the nation over the past 20 years (minus 94 of course)

but no way they beat out carolina all-time

12/17/2007 12:39:43 AM

Duke was nothing before K

12/17/2007 1:34:31 AM

Not really nothing, but certainly not anything major.

no

cameron, bradley, bubas, and whoever the coach between cameron and bradley was, won a ton of southern conference and acc championships

and bubas took them to two or three final fours in the sixties

they weren't ucla, carolina, kentucky, kansas, or even state, but they certainly had some good teams

12/17/2007 2:04:57 AM

My point is that if you drew a given year out of a hat for UCLA, UNC, Kentucky, or Duke then Carolina would have a better chance of having the better team

Like I said earlier, UCLA, Kentucky and Duke all had SEVERAL years when they were below average.
UNC has had ONE
