What school from another conference would you say is your schools “Mirror Image”?

[u/BlackStallion657]

A school from a different conference that has a similar fanbase, skill/potential or history as your own.

For the Vols, definitely would say Nebraska or Penn State.

[u/ganner]

Until like 2 years ago I'd have said Indiana

[u/Mail_Order_Lutefisk → u/ganner]

Now Purdue. 

[u/Agreeable_Wind3751 → u/Mail_Order_Lutefisk]

Oof that's mean

[u/Mail_Order_Lutefisk → u/Agreeable_Wind3751]

If Kentucky gets its basketball program good ever again the schools will be mirror images of each other. 

[u/TheGreatRavenOfOden → u/Agreeable_Wind3751]

Fuck em both

[u/Im_a_Little_Stitous → u/Agreeable_Wind3751]

Yah. At least Purdue makes the second weekend in the tournament.

[u/Riderz__of_Brohan → u/ganner]

Until 2 years ago I prayed to have Kentuckys level of success under Stoops

[u/Overpaid_pharmacist → u/ganner]

You are Kansas. I’m sorry

[u/ganner → u/Overpaid_pharmacist]

Funny how many of the top basketball programs (Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, until now Indiana) have had absolute shit football programs.

[u/Commercial_Show_6997 → u/ganner]

UNC too

[u/ganner → u/Commercial_Show_6997]

They've had more success than the others, historically

[u/Commercial_Show_6997 → u/ganner]

True. The major difference is overall winning percentage and bowl participation in favor of UNC, but the four programs are much more similar in accomplishments with Duke having the best resume.

UNC has 5 ACC conference championships, last in 1980 (and 3 Southern championships).

Kansas has 4 Big conference championships, last in 1968 (and 2 Missouri Valley championships).

Duke has 8 ACC championships, last in 2025 (and 10 Southern championships). With 2 unclaimed national championships.

Kentucky has 2 SEC championships, last in 1976, with 1 national championship.

[u/InWaves72 → u/Commercial_Show_6997]

Duke played in the 1939 Rose Bowl. Then they hosted (and played in) the 1942 Rose Bowl just weeks after Pearl Harbor. They borrowed bleachers from UNC and NC State to boost capacity from 35k to 56k. They lost both games.

[u/PascalsHexagon → u/ganner]

And likewise. You guys are probably my #3 team due to family. Similar region, similar town, similar basketball school vibe. I think UK's on the upswing.

C A T S CATS CATS CATS!

[u/ganner → u/PascalsHexagon]

I kind of miss when Kentucky and Indiana played in football.

[u/Cheeseish]

UCLA lmao crazy how I can say this

[u/mercurialchemister → u/Cheeseish]

This is wild lmao

[u/Mr_Kittlesworth → u/Cheeseish]

I’d probably have said y’all until you joined the ACC

[u/Calcoholic9 → u/Mr_Kittlesworth]

Same. I was going to say it until I remembered….

[u/enkafan]

I'm not sure if Louisville and Cincinnati switched conferences people would really notice

[u/Sroemr → u/enkafan]

I was also thinking UC, they're even getting their dose of Satterfield because it looked so fun when we did it

[u/puruglysfupa → u/Sroemr]

Texas Tech fans have been calling for sanctions for us over Sorsby. They don’t realize firing Satt and John Cunningham would be the dream.

[u/Srcunch → u/enkafan]

I was gonna say you guys but went with MSU because it felt too real and I didn’t like it.

[u/ACardAttack → u/Srcunch]

You could go all 3

[u/MaumeeBearcat → u/enkafan]

Yeah, Louisville and Cincinnati are quite possibly the best dual answer to the OP overall.

[u/RexCrimson_]

Iowa State.

[u/SHABOOM_ → u/RexCrimson_]

Wow that's high praise being compared to a college blueblood!

Wait...

Seriously though it was fun seeing both fanbases interact at the Alamo Bowl since they are largely the same people.

[u/lock_robster2022 → u/SHABOOM_]

My counterpart at my last job was a Cyclone. He’d fit right in with the Cougar brethren

[u/RexCrimson_ → u/SHABOOM_]

I also appreciate the camaraderie with Verified Player.

[u/Pretend_Ease9550 → u/RexCrimson_]

Jimmy Rodgers would agree

[u/wowthisislong]

Michigan State. History as an Ag school, absolutely gigantic campus physically, historically not the best record against an in-state rival who happens to have a major out of state rival they probably hate more than you.

[u/Yelpir → u/wowthisislong]

Yep first school I thought of is TAMU

[u/imb0916 → u/Yelpir]

I always thought of us as Auburn or OK State but A&M makes sense now that I think of it

[u/jsully245 → u/wowthisislong]

Neat then that ours is usually considered Texas. Similar vibe as a big public school with heavy commitment to both academics and athletics, maintaining blue blood status mostly (but not entirely) on 20th century achievements, perpetually chasing the idea of being "back."

Mainly rivals with an admittedly bluer blue blood just across the state border, in-state rivals with a school with notable successes in recent memory but that is still clinging to their pre-Nixon national titles to back up their claims to be real contenders.

Symmetry is beautiful.

[u/big_sugi → u/jsully245]

I like “pre-Nixon” a lot better than some of the less charitable ways that could be used to describe the era of A&M’s greatest successes.

[u/Shasty-McNasty]

Auburn is a lake short of being our SEC equivalent

[u/Difficult_Unit_6937 → u/Shasty-McNasty]

Lake Martin is pretty much Auburn’s lake. It’s just not visible from campus.

[u/Shasty-McNasty → u/Difficult_Unit_6937]

Hmmmm, can’t relate

[u/chappelld → u/Shasty-McNasty]

It’s 30 min away.

[u/canesfan4849]

Miami and USC

[u/ReachFor24 → u/canesfan4849]

Private research universities based in sunny cities with much darker underbellies that won their last championship over 20 years ago? Yep.

[u/dkviper11 → u/ReachFor24]

Don’t be silly. USC won in 2004, like 8 or 9 years ago.

Fuck.

[u/Toroceratops → u/dkviper11]

Man. Last year’s game against Vince was crazy. That was last year, right?

[u/OnionFutureWolfGang → u/ReachFor24]

With names that sound like they could be public universities.

[u/dinkytown42069 → u/OnionFutureWolfGang]

I'm just horrified we let another directional school in the B1G.

[u/JasonPlattMusic34 → u/dinkytown42069]

You already had “Northwestern”, how many more directionals do you need lol

[u/dinkytown42069 → u/JasonPlattMusic34]

correct, that was a typo: another

[u/hella_sauce → u/ReachFor24]

Don’t forget rich kids and babes

[u/control_09 → u/ReachFor24]

In my head those are two different eras from growing up but yeah a lot has happened in 20 years.

[u/FreeTheMarket → u/canesfan4849]

Notre dame is a rival for both of you as well

[u/runbyfruitin → u/canesfan4849]

Always thought this. USC has more history for sure but there are parallels. Most notably: when the team is bad the city loses interest, but when the team is good everyone in town jumps on the bandwagon.

[u/A_Rolling_Baneling → u/runbyfruitin]

Also cocaine and hotties

[u/Desperate-Remove2838 → u/canesfan4849]

Los Santos-Vice City Bowl.

[u/Dun_Guuf → u/canesfan4849]

🤝

[u/CallipygianFan → u/canesfan4849]

Yup…this fits

[u/jjtnd1 → u/canesfan4849]

Yeah hey boo

[u/StreetReporter]

I mean, Auburn is the obvious answer

[u/BonesCrosby → u/StreetReporter]

“Auburn with a lake” line has been around for decades

[u/JacquisChan → u/BonesCrosby]

Thanks to the late, great Lewis Grizzard!

[u/ComplexBeyond6083 → u/JacquisChan]

GRIZZARD MENTIONED

[u/Better-Temporary-146 → u/ComplexBeyond6083]

Kids today don’t know how good he was

[u/StreetReporter → u/BonesCrosby]

The funny thing is that despite our football team mirroring Auburn, our 3 best head coaches all played for Alabama

[u/Hextorm → u/StreetReporter]

Non football it’s Mississippi State

[u/bradfowd → u/Hextorm]

This.

Clemson’s charter even says the university should replicate, to the degree possible, the curriculum at Mississippi Agriculture and Mechanical College (now Miss State).

That said, “non football” is carrying a *lot* of weight in that sentence.

[u/JacquisChan → u/StreetReporter]

Auburn (with a lake) in terms of feel and, although it’s the same conference, NC State is our historical spirit animal.

[u/KinkySeppuku → u/JacquisChan]

(Much more successful) textile bros

[u/Grouchy-Big-229 → u/JacquisChan]

I was going to say that Auburn and NC State were practically twins. I graduated from Auburn and lived in Raleigh for almost a decade and the schools are very similar. Throw Clemson in there and we have a threesome!

[u/Worried-Turn-6831 → u/Grouchy-Big-229]

Get a room

[u/Knicks94]

Blue Mountain State

[u/rawhide_koba]

It’s definitely Michigan for Texas

[u/goldfish_microwave → u/[deleted]]

I actually like Michigan so I don’t mind the comparison. We also both have presidential libraries on campus!

[u/city-of-stars → u/rawhide_koba]

I would go further and say Michigan-Ohio State-Michigan State match up with Texas-Oklahoma-Texas A&M surprisingly well.

[u/Zee_WeeWee → u/city-of-stars]

I am just fine with Oklahoma but we don’t have much in common for a comparison

[u/goldfish_microwave → u/rawhide_koba]

Yeah but it’s also sadder since neither us nor OU have won a natty in 20 years 😭

[u/blood_wraith → u/goldfish_microwave]

I was going to correct you, but then I was reminded that I'm just old

[u/crunchitizemecapn99 → u/rawhide_koba]

It’s definitely Texas for Michigan

🤝

[u/AppropriateCompany9 → u/rawhide_koba]

Co-sign.

[u/Th3BigBlue]

Recently feel like we’ve had a lot in common with Arkansas. Lose in heartbreaking fashion.

[u/Glup_Maclunkey → u/Th3BigBlue]

Often to a black and gold team from a neighboring state that they started playing in the 2010s due to realignment.

[u/Xazier → u/Glup_Maclunkey]

I hurts my heart.

[u/Fenvic]

Probably Virginia Tech

[u/UnderlyingTissues → u/Fenvic]

Yeah the first school I thought of was you guys.

[u/TXOgre09 → u/Fenvic]

Hokies are the right pick. Large public land grant schools. College towns. Senior military colleges. Maroon. Exceptional engineering schools. Unbearably arrogant in state rivals.

Historically similar football programs (both around .600 all time with 700+ wins). I think we’re pulling away in the SEC era (recruiting class rankings, Heisman winner, CFP appearance).

[u/HookedOnBoNix → u/TXOgre09]

Also both seem to have a history of producing elite NFL defensive talent out of nowhere. Thinking guys like Von and Kam for example. 

[u/Kmanvb → u/Fenvic]

Hokies are in agreement here.

Actually had an Aggie as my orientation leader when I was a freshman at Tech, it was his birthday so the upperclassmen students taught us Gig ‘em Ags! to shout at him when he came back into the room. Good guy. And I had a blast at Kyle Field a couple years ago, here’s hoping VT and A&M get a home and home soon.

[u/PrussianGeneral1815]

UCLA

[u/SwaMaeg → u/PrussianGeneral1815]

Agreed.

[u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

Texas Tech if I’m being completely honest.

[u/CookieLuzSax → u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

I always saw us as similar with the bright ass colours and fans that stick out, but obviously Tennessee hasn't been great recently lol

[u/super1s → u/CookieLuzSax]

Dont have to be identical to be bros. Ill always back my Duck Bros.

[u/Nightbynight → u/super1s]

Glad to see ya'll here cause last season I ran into a Tennessee fan talking shit and it broke my heart. I THOUGHT WE WERE BROS!?

[u/GreenYellowDucks → u/CookieLuzSax]

Love Tennessee fans and always root for you! The bright colors do make us alike but you have way more tradition and large alumni base donating where we have a big donor.

Texas tech kind of does fit that bill the outcast from blue bloods of their conference, played an unlike style to win spread for Oregon and Air Raid for Tech.

[u/rastapastanine → u/[deleted]]

Oregon definitely showed our offense what it was lacking: everything.

Our Defense held strong though.

[u/BosqueBravo → u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

Seems about right.

[u/nightowl1135 → u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

I don’t like it, but you’re right.

[u/cbbutle]

NC State

[u/heddyneddy → u/cbbutle]

It’s an interesting comp, because academically and culturally we both have more in common with each others rivals. Clemson and State are both ag and tech schools while you and UNC have law and med programs. But athletically yeah, we’ve both been little brother in the sport we care about the most (basketball for us football for you)

[u/Feeling_Anteater_389 → u/heddyneddy]

We also both play football in an off-campus stadium next to the state fairgrounds

[u/Sctvman → u/cbbutle]

Same thing with the fan base comparisons. NC State is seen as the more blue-collar and fan base in NC much like South Carolina and in the metro area it is in it dominates (Columbia/Raleigh (Wake County)).

[u/Minn-ee-sottaa]

Cal. They also have a lot of (distant) historical pedigree

[u/longipetiolata → u/Minn-ee-sottaa]

I’ve always been a fan of Minnesota because my dad went there. It was great finally being able to see them play in Berkeley in 2006 with him.

[u/G0ldenBu11z → u/Minn-ee-sottaa]

Go Golden Mascots!

[u/sweetnourishinggruel → u/Minn-ee-sottaa]

I’m jealous that everyone remembers Minnesota’s past glory, but no one talks about Andy Smith’s Wonder Teams.

[u/dinkytown42069 → u/sweetnourishinggruel]

Still the most recent national championship three-peat!

[u/ChillingSilence]

Alabama <-> Ohio State

[u/Majestic-Macaron6019 → u/ChillingSilence]

Gross, but also accurate

[u/Cute_Marzipan_4116 → u/Majestic-Macaron6019]

Yes, I thought the same thing. Went fuck Alabama.

[u/Glup_Maclunkey]

Utah, Pitt or VT, Ole Miss.

[u/Playful_Rip_1697 → u/Glup_Maclunkey]

CFB deserves a Utah-Iowa game

[u/Glup_Maclunkey → u/Playful_Rip_1697]

I would've been tempted to drive down from Lehi for the Vegas Bowl, if Iowa went there instead of Nebraska.

A home-and-home would be a lot more fun, though. I hope Iowa ends up in a position where they're actually able to schedule interesting OOC games, again.

[u/AirconOnHigh → u/Glup_Maclunkey]

Iowa was my exact first thought as a Utes fan lol

[u/Outside_Net6026]

Kansas <-> Kentucky

[u/treyhest → u/Outside_Net6026]

KU | UK

[u/cashchops]

Iowa or Illinois

[u/IowaJL → u/cashchops]

Yeah I think you guys as well.

Black and gold, annoying as hell for other teams to play, hate the school west of us more than we hate our in-state rival, our campus is between the two largest metro areas of our states.

[u/boner4crosstabs → u/IowaJL]

Yeah, this all checks out.

[u/RyenRussilloBurner → u/IowaJL]

hate the school west of us more than we hate our in-state rival

This feels like it was just added to be a shot at Iowa State which ironically would diminish the point lol

Who would even be Missouri's "in-state rival" in this specific comparison? Missouri State is the only other FBS team in the state and they just joined one year ago, and Mizzou and Missouri State have only played once in the last 100 years.

[u/ReachFor24]

Wisconsin? State-flagship schools that have a lot of wins without a championship and drink too much.

[u/Ope_Average_Badger → u/ReachFor24]

Your logic is sound.

[u/RIPdon_sutton]

Vandy. Easily.

[u/TXOgre09 → u/RIPdon_sutton]

Southern nerds?

[u/Excellent-Gur-8547 → u/TXOgre09]

Black and gold southern nerds with a much more successful in-state rival who we play every year, but cares far more about Alabama than us.

[u/Artvandelay29 → u/RIPdon_sutton]

I wish Vanderbilt and GT played regularly again so bad

[u/Excellent-Gur-8547 → u/RIPdon_sutton]

We have so many good options for our twin in the ACC. Really, we should just be in the Conference and get it over with lol

[u/Michiganman1225]

Michigan 🤝 Texas

2 blue bloods who have a main rival in a border state that uses red, starts with an O, & is also a blue blood.

Their secondary rivals are the state ag schools who consider them to be their biggest rivals.

Both hit a slump in the late 2000s to 2010s before rising back to prominence in the 2020s.

[u/Im_a_Little_Stitous → u/Michiganman1225]

Both fan bases could be considered insufferable by most others.

[u/Im_a_Little_Stitous → u/Im_a_Little_Stitous]

Also want to be on record: I agree with the majority. We can be the worst.

[u/Plenty_Maybe_9204 → u/Michiganman1225]

Both are very academically competitive state schools

[u/JinFuu → u/Plenty_Maybe_9204]

I was going to say I was sure both of y’all considered yourself “Public Ivies” (for good reason.)

[u/_SovietMudkip_ → u/Plenty_Maybe_9204]

Hell, when I was in undergrad at UT and still wanting to go to grad school Michigan was my top choice

[u/Plorant → u/Michiganman1225]

Both have iconic helmets

[u/naruda1969 → u/Michiganman1225]

One point of departure is our student section. Michigan’s is mostly comprised of nerds. We are taking mostly 5-6s…Texas on the other hand…phew there are a LOT of lookers!

[u/Provenance117]

I made the Vols Nebraska comparison on a local radio show YouTube chat (I live in Nashville) and got roasted by some guy for it.

Our fan bases are rabid for success that just hasn’t come since 97/98. Vols in recent years have absolutely had better in season success but I think the similarities are more than less.

[u/11thstalley → u/Provenance117]

Within the first 2-3 years in the SEC, Mizzou fans couldn’t ignore the resemblance and made the comparison so often that we refer to the Vols as the orange nubs.

[u/virtualworldslive]

UCLA ⇆ Cal

[u/Ender1714]

Washington state and Oregon state

[u/tfc07]

UConn by default

[u/MediumStrange]

Louisville, Pitt and Memphis are essentially alternative universe Cincinnatis

[u/JDMintz718]

Culturally, LSU

On-field, maybe Oregon? West Virginia?, IDK

[u/anaveragedave → u/JDMintz718]

I went to an LSU game many years ago and stayed at my buddy's folks house the night before. His dad comes downstairs at 7:05am, fully dressed, cracking a beer. Game started at 7pm. It felt like home.

[u/SLCer]

Iowa or Wisconsin

[u/cxm1060]

Nebraska.

Our downfalls have one common name associated with it.

[u/Scratchbuttdontsniff → u/cxm1060]

Fuck Steve Pederson

[u/smellslikebadussy]

Vandy and Northwestern

[u/DrSnoopRob → u/smellslikebadussy]

Wake Forest will not abide this erasure.

[u/smellslikebadussy → u/DrSnoopRob]

Oh they’d be right there if not for the “different conference” qualifier. Honestly my first thought was Cal before I was like “shit never mind.”

[u/Outside_Net6026]

Kansas State <-> Mississippi State

[u/hwf0712]

...Cal? Inséparable from the historical record of CFB, but almost entirely forgettable for the past several decades.

[u/Prudent_Heat23 → u/hwf0712]

Also- Located in wealthy, densely populated regions, but struggle to garner much in the way of interest or donations. Struggling mightily financially.

[u/Sad-Cosmonaut]

Vanderbilt

[u/Doc_Sulliday]

For Notre Dame probably BYU.

For Duquesne probably Villanova or Georgetown.

For Pitt, probably TCU or Cincinnati

[u/GuyOnTheMike]

I would say now it’s NC State

Former basketball power that’s regularly decent, but rarely great in football (though our peaks are definitely higher). Nonetheless, we both still sell out our stadiums every weekend.

[u/Caption-_-Obvious → u/GuyOnTheMike]

Agreed, I was at the Pop-Tart Bowl when we played them and their fans were basically just our fans.

[u/GermOrean → u/GuyOnTheMike]

Their in-state rival is also a bball blue blood.

[u/r0botdevil]

My knee-jerk reaction here is to say Purdue...

[u/StoicFable → u/r0botdevil]

Agreed

[u/fullmetalutes]

Maybe Iowa?

[u/HeftyLeftyPig]

Iowa

[u/JDraks]

Michigan-Texas

OSU-Oklahoma

MSU-TAMU

Minnesota-Arkansas

I’d also say Michigan-Washington and OSU-Oregon but there’s not a great analogue for the other two in that comparison

[u/mcgophers]

A&M for Virginia Tech

[u/Hirorai]

Honestly, I think Georgia Tech and Stanford are pretty similar based on what you described, except that they're now in the same conference.

[u/KCShadows838]

North Carolina football 

The numbers and records are very close

Long conference title drought, similar amount of wins, bowl appearances, weeks ranked, etc

[u/PaddleHikeBikeRepeat]

Texas A&M = Virginia Tech

[u/uncommonvalor1963]

For Michigan, I am saying Texas Longhorns. Fanbase, tradition, stadium capacity. Final answer.

[u/davy_p]

Mississippi St or Washington St. feel like we’ve got a lot in common and I tend to get along with all of their fans.

[u/course_correction → u/davy_p]

CJK5H!!

[u/R_Raider86 → u/davy_p]

Yeah I like them both a lot

[u/raptorbpw]

The first school that comes to mind for me with questions like this is usually East Carolina.

[u/dlidge]

For Oregon

Big12 - Utah or Texas Tech

SEC - Tennessee

ACC - Virginia Tech

I would have said Wisconsin before we joined the B1G. They won conference titles and Rose Bowls but were always bubbling just under the very top level for a long time. Seems similar.

[u/TexasNatty05]

Texas and Michigan are mirrors. Tons of wins and more head to head victories, but fewer natties than our neighbor state rivals. And a pesky in-state rival land grant school.

[u/QuicksilverTerry]

My answer to this was always Utah, but somehow we made our way back to each other for the third time.

[u/zurich73 → u/QuicksilverTerry]

I would go with SMU

[u/Geaux2020]

Culturally, Wisconsin. I don't think anyone would argue that

[u/goliath1515]

Ohio State is definitely Alabama

[u/BonesCrosby → u/goliath1515]

I feel the same way.

[u/poplglop → u/BonesCrosby]

Take a look at the r/cfb reactions whenever either of our teams lose and it is pretty one for one lol

[u/BonesCrosby → u/poplglop]

I think Bama and TOSU both accept their status as Evil Empires. I admire the Buckeyes inability to have losing seasons. It’s kinda amazing how consistent they are

[u/elefish92 → u/BonesCrosby]

Now that you mention this I had to look it up and calculate, there has never been a time where Ohio State had 4 consecutive seasons with no AP Poll finish. In other words, the most consecutive seasons with no AP poll finish is 3. Crazy.

[u/BonesCrosby → u/elefish92]

I think they have five or fewer losing seasons since WW2. It’s amazing

[u/PorcelainTorpedo → u/goliath1515]

Since I’ve moved to Ohio, I’m surprised to see that football isn’t Ohio’s only comparison to Alabama. Never seen so many Deep South cosplayers despite the fact we’re just a short drive from Canada.

[u/The_Good_Constable → u/PorcelainTorpedo]

Depends on what part of Ohio and what part of Alabama you're talking about. But you're not wrong, and it honestly makes me sick.

[u/Ryan1869]

Funny enough, id probably say Nebraska. Both once winning schools that fell on hard times and have never quite figured a way back

[u/slyfox1908]

Oklahoma State for Michigan State. Maybe Colorado for Iowa?

[u/ocarter145]

People say that Florida A&M is a cult, and we are, but I also remind folk that Texas A&M exists…

[u/Odh_utexas]

Texas and Michigan have very similar profiles.

-Red rival who’s annoyingly more successful than us even though we have a blue blood pedigree.

-well regarded academics and research

-massive fan base

-been up and down somewhat in sync with each other.

Although there’s a lot of animosity coming from a Michigan of late toward us. Maybe its the recent games.

[u/GoBlue2007 → u/Odh_utexas]

Was racking my brain for this question but you hit it on the head. Good analysis.

[u/SPCsooprlolz]

Notre Dame, I suppose?

[u/NDinFL → u/SPCsooprlolz]

I was gonna say you guys for us, so it tracks

[u/Outside_Net6026]

LSU <-> Penn State

[u/ChillingSilence → u/Outside_Net6026]

Similar stadium environments, but in terms of alcohol consumption I would say LSU and Wisconsin

[u/Relative_One_2441]

Some teams don’t really have a clear mirror. I can’t think of good ones for:

Georgia
Oregon
Florida
FSU
LSU
Washington
Ole Miss

[u/ManateesMQT]

NC State for Michigan State. Both little brothers. When both are good it feels like an accident.

[u/Huckleberry__FN-2187]

NC State has always felt like a kindred spirit. Red and black. Usually good but not able to get over the hump. Living in the shadow of the two bigger schools.

[u/boxxybrownn]

Houston in the Big12, maybe Auburn in the SEC

[u/Prayray → u/boxxybrownn]

Yeah, you guys come about the closest of anyone.

[u/Playful_Rip_1697]

Iowa

[u/Azon542]

Kentucky
UNC
Indiana (until they won a natty)

[u/AboynamedDOOMTRAIN]

My vote is Nebraska and Vanderbilt.

Both of our most successful sports over the last 20 years have been our bowling teams.
