JESUS people stop being stuck on stupid.. A decade is 10 years.. Saying the 80's means you chose to start counting those years from 1980..

1990-1999 is a decade
1991-2000 is ALSO a decade

The 90's = 1990 - 1999 and its only a decade because it is 10 years and you defined the starting point..

Anyone want to guess what the last decade is composed of? Ready this will blow your fricking minds...

June 26 1999 - June 26 2009

Heads are now exploding im sure...

LSU v. Florida SEC & National Championshiops Since 2000. (Includes all sports, men and woman)

*Pretty sure my math is right!

Florida: SEC Championship- 32
LSU: SEC Championships- 15

*Golf and Track are not included- could not find them.

Florida: National Championships- 6
LSU: National Championships- 13

**All sports should be included

I would say that they are pretty even since 2000!

That's bizarre LSU has almost the same amount of NC's as SEC Championships.

Holy hell some people want to make this too hard. To measure 'atheletic excellence', you don't give a title in one sport any more credit than another ( if you did, according to Chad Jones' post championship comments, baseball would get more credit in his book because of the playoff & number of games... ). You include all sports that most universities have ( say 75%? ). The "is it a popular sport" debate is out the window then; if most universities have the program, then its popular enough. What sports a college focuses more attention to is their perogative. So in that list...

Football? Check
Basketball? Check
Baseball? Check
Track? Check

I dunno what else, but you get the picture. Assign some value to national titles, some to conference titles, some to overall record perhaps. Done.

Jeesh, some folks can make the simplest of things seem difficult. Reminds me of the 'bicycle hand warmers' project...

The general population would likely say Florida, since for most people basketball > baseball.
Not for me though, I dont care much for college basketball.

LSU is number two any way you cut it. All sports, its Florida. In the big TWO, its Florida. I hate to break it to you guys, but college baseball is less popular than women's basketball. Nobody really cares. The 1.5 rating the classic 7-6 game 1 got kind of illustrates that.

Just be proud LSU can say they are number two this decade.

Unfortunately, that's pretty much true. Although I'll never understand it personally.

If you go by decades, yes. When people say the "Roaring twenties", or the "thirties" or "forties", they mean every year inclusive.

Thus the "twenties" would be from 1920-1929.

To be fair the MLB World Series only drew 8.4 and that was on Network TV not Cable..

Plus the ratings for game 3 were higher than game 1.

Ok, by "we all" I actually meant "everyone in the whole fricking world, but not necessarily on TD was talking about counting years, decades, centuries, and millenia."

I think we are even with UF, they may have us in basketball but our bowl appearances this decade are a little more impressive. We should compare each schools win/loss record against one another in all sports.
