dfwabel Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 The University of Michigan is the only Division One College to have won a National Championship in all four of the Major sports.I've earned a degree from Michigan, but you're just making $hit up now. First, Desmond Howard, then your debunked Richard Nixon "fact", now this.Attendance aside, hockey is not a major sport due to the small number of participanting schools. Heck, it is on the lower tier for the Capital One Cup. Track and soccer are on the upper tier and UCLA has won both of those while Michigan has not.

rams80 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Leonard Little killed somebody and only got an 8 game suspension for it. He even played in the Super Bowl that season! And he got no suspension for his second DWI!! And I didn't even have to use Google for that one!!!

BBTV Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 41 of the 122 teams in the four major sports league have played in at least one other city. Or about 34 percent of all teams.Does that count the Ravens, who apparently didn't play in Cleveland?Or the Hornets, who were just inactive for a while and didn't actually move to New Orleans?I was wondering that myself. Officially, it should not. I guess.Right now it's 41 but maybe a few more years from now it can be 35. Or zero.Yeah who the heck knows where any team played anymore now that they can just make up history? The Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series in 2008 in the same year as becoming the first professional sports team to lose 10,000 games. It would also be the only World Series called by Harry Kalas.He called the 1983 and 1993 series on radio. 2008 would be the only win he called.Interestingly, the rule was changed to allow local radio announcers to broadcast WS games was made in 1981 after Phillies fans flooded the commissioner's office with complaints over not being able to hear Kalas in '80.
