Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame Chairman Doug Ireland noted Northwestern State's 1981 4x100 men's relay team that included future NFL stars Mark Duper and Joe Delaney and won the NCAA championship by outrunning, among others, Georgia (Herschel Walker) and Tennessee (Willie Gault). Theirs is the only team from the FCS level to win a D-I national relay championship.

1987 NLU (now ULM) won the NCAA Div-2 National Championship.

Stan Humpfries was the QB.

Pat Collins was the Head Coach.

They went 13-2 that year.

You would think 97-96 could be one team... like how all 25 of the women's track titles are grouped.

i would think one of John Curtis's state champion football teams would be on there... especially 2012 when they were picked national champions

also i'll make a case for LSU baseball in 2013... yeah i know they were 2 and out in Omaha but still finished 57-11... they at least deserve to be mentioned with the Tulane and UNO teams that lost in Omaha... this year's ULL baseball team belongs on this list when it's all said and done, like it or not

'97 LSU baseball is criminally underranked... they were the best of our 6 national titles.

also a shout-out to the Southern Division Champion, tied for best record in the Arena Football League 2004 New Orleans VooDoo (in their inaugural season!!!!!!!) setting a standard that has yet to be matched by the 7 VooDoo teams since

and the 2000 Saints, division champions and won a playoff game...

I am starting to see the point here on the high school teams.

JC football 2012 certainly worth noting.

slighting the significance of that team behind crap like women's basketball and minor league baseball is beyond stupid. Typical of that garbage paper though.

2004 New Orleans VooDoo


Those early Voodoo year games were fun.

I don't know what happened, but it just isn't the same.
