Back to back

[Jaxbuck]

This is for OSU sports in general so I put it here.

The football team just won back to back B10 championships

Mens basketball just won back to back B10 championships

Womens basketball just won at least a share of their 3rd straight B10 championship.

Just a reminder of how often thats been done before attached below.

Did we ever get an answer as to if back to back in both men's basketball and football has ever happened before?

Great post by Jax. Realizing something like this, I think we all need to shoot out a big'ol "kudos" to Andy Geiger. Andy is HUGE in what we're enjoying at TOSU these days. Peace.

I doubt ESPN will give tOSU anywhere near as much credit as it deserves for pulling off this incredible feat two years in a row.

Not a word from espin; it will be a footnote, if that.

It is an amazing time in which to be a buckeye fan. To be able to be back to back champions is an incredible accomplishment but to do it in all 3 sports is really remarkable. :gobucks3: :gobucks4:

This is a big accomplishment for tOSU! It is very exciting that we achieved this goal, while nobody else has! GO BUCKS!

tOSU is the first athletic department to clinch The DOUBLE-TRIPLE.

Per the O-Zone, tOSU is also the first team to win OUTRIGHT championships in all three of these sports in a single sports year. So each team on the thumbnail list in Jax's first post in this thread had a shared title, such as tOSU's 2005 football crown.

Edit - for the record

1992-93 BYU shared the football crown with Fresno State and Hawai'i, men's basketball tied for the crown with Utah
1995-96 Utah shared the football crown with Air Force, BYU, and Colorado State
1999-00 Utah shared the football crown with BYU and Colorado State; men's basketball shared the regular season with UNLV
2003-04 Utah didn't win the basketball regular season (Air Force), but won the conference tournament

Milestones: OSU's win over Wisconsin coupled with the OSU women's basketball team's win over Michigan in Ann Arbor gave OSU outright championships in both men's and women's basketball. The Buckeyes also won the outright Big Ten football championship as well to become the first school in NCAA history to win outright conference titles in those three sports in one sports year.

A Big Ten First, Ohio State Captures Outright Titles In Football and Men's and Women's Basketball In Same School Year


Feb. 26, 2007
COLUMBUS, Ohio - For the first time in Big Ten history, one school, Ohio State , has won outright titles in football and men's and women's basketball in the same school year.

In the fall, Ohio State captured the Big Ten football title, going 8-0 in league play, while the OSU men's and women's basketball teams clinched outright championships Feb. 25.

"The hard work and dedication of our coaches and athletes are paying off," said Gene Smith, Ohio State Director of Athletics. "We thank the fans for the support allowing us to create a championship environment."

The Buckeye men are 26-3 (14-1 Big Ten) and ranked No. 1 in the country in both the Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN Coaches' polls after a 49-48 win over Wisconsin Sunday. Already the No. 1-ranked team in the coaches' poll, the win over the Badgers gave OSU the top spot in the AP poll for the first time in 45 years. The Buckeyes last held the top AP ranking heading into the national championship game vs. Cincinnati in 1962.

The OSU women improved to 26-2 (15-1 Big Ten) and will be the top seed in the league tournament this weekend in Indianapolis after locking up the league crown with a 72-58 win at Michigan Sunday. The women were ranked fifth in the country in the AP poll and sixth in the coaches' poll last week.

The three teams were also a combined 42-1 at home this school year.

"I think it speaks volumes about Ohio State," said Thad Matta, OSU men's basketball coach. "With what we have been able to accomplish here the last few years in winning a conference championship in those three sports is a tribute to this university. People don't understand how hard that is to do.
This place is incredible. In all sports we are fortunate with the kids we have. It's a tribute to The Ohio State University and all it has to offer."
It is the second year in a row the Buckeyes have won titles in football and men's and women's basketball, but the 2005 football squad shared the conference title with Penn State. Last year also was the first time in Big Ten history the same school captured outright titles in men's and women's basketball in the same season. The OSU women are the first team to win at least a share of three consecutive titles since Iowa won the league four straight seasons from 1986-87 to 1989-90.

This should be used as a recruiting tool by Matta and Tressel. Congrats to all three teams! All you recruits out there: What other school has done this? Come to tOSU to win Championships! GO BUCKS!

Ohio State is always great in all Sports, just like Florida usually is. But our womens basketball team is horrible this year, but I don't really care about womens teams that much. I think a rematch in the Final Four or Championship game would be awesome.
