So I get home tonight and ESPN is re showing the 2006 Rose Bowl between Texas and U S C.We all know by now that the whole time Reggie Bush was at U S C him and his parents were living in a house that boosters paid for along with them taking other improper benefits from the very same boosters.My point is that they can say whatever they want about U of L and it's 2012/2013 season but none of them can deny how magical their run was that year.I keep hoping that they will replay one of their games from that tournament but they just keep showing the same ones over and over.Thing is that game against Texas should be viewed the same way they view our season that year.By their thinking both teams played and won games with a player or players deemed to have received improper benefits, and both teams had championships and games taken away.Thing is one team's accomplishments are to be hidden away in a secret vault by the NCAA while tonight on April 2, 2020 the other team is on national TV on prime time.Not only is U S C on prime time but it is on the very same network that seemed to go out of it's way to make sure the whole scandal that occurred with U of L was highlighted every day 24/7. That U of L team was special and it should sit along side the 1980 and 1986 teams especially after they way they fought back following the Kevin Ware injury.
 
I'm waiting for this...

Uh how about 1980? Or maybe I just don’t get it...
I guess I'm gonna have to redo the graphic because I get that question too often...

It's meant to show the variants, not the full set of banners that should be on display.
 
I'm gettin' (too) old. But I try to remember how many banners we earned...

As it should be! No other school in the country has won the National Championship in the NAIB (today the NAIA), The NIT (When it was THE most prestigious tournament, and the NCAA Tournament.

The University does not play this point in public enough in my opinion. It highlights that U of L was a small school that reached the highest point multiple times.

Which brings me back to my other pet peeve: Why doesn’t U of L campaign harder for Peck Hickman to be inducted into the HOF?

He took a nothing program won the NAIB, NIT, went to two Final Fours and delivered (along with Coach Dromo) to Coach Crum that today is one of the 7 greatest of all time.

Why isn’t Hickman in the Hall of Fame?
 
I never understood why we claimed three NCAA championships instead of five national championships anyway. It was almost like WE were subordinating those other two championships.

In our lifetimes, we'll probably see another organization besides the NCAA award the championship. And we don't reset to zero at that point...

Bingo. Exactly.

I think it’s the same as the NBA never mentioning the ABA. Inferiority Complex.

NCAA probably tells school not to speak of anything but NCAA!
 
Just watched ESPN's top 10 plays from the NCAA tournament. Tell me another moment that was more inspirational than watching U of L rally back and beat Duke after the Kevin Ware injury? The school we all root for to me is and always will be the constant under dog in their eyes. Anytime we do have success it is in spite of something, it never is just because we have good players and good coaching. I know I should be used to it by now but it still pisses me off. They treat us like we are some mid major from the freaking Sunbelt conference or something.
