Crown of 'Horns
When Rivals.com ranked the schools with the most successful combination of football and men's basketball programs in late January, we got plenty of requests to add baseball to the mix.
Now that the 2007-08 basketball and baseball seasons are complete, we've done exactly that. And that's good news for Texas fans.
We used a similar mathematical formula to the one we employed in January to find out which schools had the best combination of football, basketball and baseball since the start of the BCS era (the 1998-99 school year). That also happened to be the year that college baseball began using the "super regional" format.
We also extended our analysis to find out which program has enjoyed the most football, basketball and baseball success since the 1974-75 school year, which marked the first year that more than one school from each conference could earn an NCAA Tournament bid in basketball.
When we put these lists out in January including only football and basketball, Oklahoma topped the rankings since 1974 and Florida owned the No. 1 spot in the BCS-era list. Once we factored in baseball, Texas soared to the top of both rankings.

Gooooooooooo Texas!
I just had a bunch of watermelon. Never got to it yesterday because I was gorging on strawberries. =)
I'm glad to know there is a good old Texas boy up there to make Nevada a better place. I still miss you here though.
Be well, friend.
