Holder of the title in the all three men's major sports at one time! Basketball, Baseball and Football. Come on Les hold up your end of the bargain!

Best I can tell, this has only happened once in SEC history. In 1934 Alabama actually held all three titles.

LSU won basketball 1985-86, then won both football and baseball in 1986, so I guess that's the same thing we're going for this season.

This will be just a small accomplishment that will look like nothing once Trent Johnson gets the basketball program together and we win the NC in the Big 3. Has that ever been done? UF won it in both football and basketball.

We have an elite football and baseball program. The final four and the SEC championships in basketball show the program is capable of being very good. LSU gave UNC the best game in the tournament last year also.

Yeah. Called it Tiger Slam because it covers two 2 years. A great accomplishment at any rate. Keeps LSU in the conversation of great athletic programs along with Florida. Of course we need to put a whooping on them in Death Valley this year to even the Miles and Meyers series! With Miles advantage because Meyers has not made Les or his QB cry.

Unlike some, I feel Florida has as much reason to fear LSU as LSU does Florida. Over the last few years LSU football has been just as good, if not better, than Florida. Until last year's debacle LSU was the leading candidate for program of the decade. And was on track to dominate college football. Recall this time last year LSU was leading for an unreal number of 5 star players. The F'd up season killed all the momentum. I know, I know, we finished number 1 in recruiting. But imagine had we won 10-11 games last year. It would have been number 1 with a bullet!

A small accomplishment? You're kidding right?

I was joking. LSU is on the short list of winning the NC in the big three, but that is ridiculous since it takes so much luck to win a NC a lot of times. It would be sweet to do it and we would then own the title as best athletic program.

Texas won Baseball and Football a couple years ago in the same year.

Oh. For some reason I was thinking Meyers took the lead last year rather than just catching up.

sounds like the question is SEC titles, not NC titles, just how I read it
