Looks like UWW winning the championship in baseball sparked the inevitable "why isn't UWW in DII?" debate in the WIAC baseball thread. I'm staying clear of that one....it's hard enough to fight that battle in this football thread, let alone multiple threads

Well... while I think the discussion is a complete non-starter, you had to know winning national titles in the headline sport each season this year was going to bring it to a boil. Consider it a compliment, ignore the ignoramuses and enjoy the success. I'm secure in the knowledge that this too shall past. After all, nothing lasts forever! Cockroaches, Twinkies, McDonald's hamburgers and honey not included in the previous statement...

I absolutely did...I think I even made a joke after the game yesterday about "letting the UWW to DII talks begin".

Maybe you guys know this, but I sure didn't. After perusing the NCAA website, I think I am right on this (but it's so mind boggling it seems like I can't be):

No other D3 school has won National Championships in all three sports (FB, basketball, and baseball) in their ENTIRE HISTORY and UW-W just did it in one season! Just think about that...

So if I'm understanding this correctly, this feat was first accomplished after the football team finally won in 2007?

NYT article about the triple crown. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/31/sports/wisconsin-whitewater-is-a-ncaa-division-iii-champion-in-three-sports.html?_r=1

To make it seem even more unlikely.... all three teams weren't even selected to win its conference to start the year.

Point - baseball and basketball
Platteville - football

Point - baseball and basketball
Platteville - football

Point: Understandable and in the case of basketball, correct.
Platteville- That was just silly.
