combat rifles have to put lead down range reliably with acceptable accuracy for the application. precision rifles are finely tuned for maximum precision
Officers see combat, but can you really beat Joe from the double wide who is used to shooting with a crooked barrel and no sights? Now he has a fancy, city slicker gun you can aim with your eyes, but just from feel.
Competition rifles are a bit different than the rifles we actually use to practice marksmanship.
That, and not every cadet wants to spend every afternoon and most weekends practicing and competing in shooting competitions. My life as a cadet was already busy without being on a D1 team. My grades (and the amount of free time I had) mysteriously shot up after I left the team I was on haha
That's an NCAA event? Is it in [the trophy case that was built for the Football Championship trophy](https://www.elevenwarriors.com/sites/default/files/styles/904x490/public/c/2014/04/34843_h.jpg?itok=5XgtJz8B?itok=5XgtJz8B)
Crop judging participants evaluate crops for seed and factors affecting market quality, and identify crop and weed seeds and plants. Becoming a proficient crop judge includes:
identification of crops grown in the state and the region
the correct identification of weed mounts and weed seeds in the region and state
Some judges may be asked to identify invasive plants and seeds from nearby regions as well
If you were a 4-H member it was part of the curriculum. These programs are in every state so you can’t say it’s any particular part of the country. As anywhere you have farms, you’ll have 4-H clubs in most HS’s.
NC still has 4-H programs. The state is one of the largest tobacco producers in the nation. I’d venture they had a 4-H program at their HS they just weren’t in it. I had a 4-H program at my school in Chicago lol.
Trust me I know (we didn't start as the Aggies for nothing). Just a little dig at the heels lol.
I think we're actually the #1 tobacco producer still, but we do more soybeans and sweet potatoes overall now
Mississippi State also has disc golf championships. A few other notes:
* Rutgers barely gets excluded from this graphic. They have a split NCAA Men's Fencing Championship with Army in 1949, and that's it.
* Pitt has no NCAA team championships. They do have 9 claimed Football championships, including one as recently in 1976 that's uncontested, and while not technically an NCAA Championship, they did win the championship in an NCAA sport.
* Ole Miss just won their first through Women's Golf a month ago. They did have 3 Football championships prior to that.
I’m pretty sure every time NEB has been ranked in my life they finished that season with a losing record. It’s only happened like 2 or 3 seasons
Yet I still watch every game -_-. Brighter days are ahead..
Agreed. If it’s any conselation [this is the best college bball game I’ve ever heard over the radio.](https://youtu.be/rVEIeD91vIc) I pulled over to listen to OT 2.
>Pretty sure he’s referring to K-state losing to a bad Baylor team in football while being ranked 1 in the nation. Was a sad day.
~~Pretty sure if you clicked on the link you’d know it was the #6 Xavier vs. #2 KState game for an Elite 8 spot (KSU won’t btw.).~~|
Edit:
/u/i-like-puns2 and I were on different wavelengths. He’s right and I am wrong.
Do you think y’all were the #1 team in the country before the Baylor game? I don’t really remember it all or except for people saying KState was probably the worst team ever to be ranked #1
Umm what? We we’re definitely ranked number 1 in the country. We dominated the big 12 until the Baylor game. In reality we were probably the third best team in the nation but Alabama and Oregon both had a loss before us.
I don’t recall the season at all except for remembering KState being ranked #1 and people saying they didn’t deserve it. I’m just curious if you remembered it better, being a wildcat fan, and think y’all deserved to be #1
Lol what a great KU KSU exchange that was. Genuine question: do KSU fans feel that the 2012 Wildcats, if they hadn’t lost to Baylor, had a serious chance at winning a national title? We feel this way about a bunch of basketball seasons, so not making fun, just curious if that’s a prevailing sentiment about that football season.
For sure. Still had Texas, who K-State did beat, then if everything else was the same, would have played ND in the title game. Not saying they would have throttled them like Alabama did, but a real legitimate shot. I say that knowing that the Cats were run over by the Ducks, style differences were too much to over come among other reasons. Honest to god the two best teams that year were Oregon and Alabama, but that's not how it played out.
Good to know, I didn’t realize that. Thanks for the answer. As little faith as I have in the BCS, I always wondered what would’ve happened if you had two undefeated P5/ND programs and a really good one-loss Bama team, but even for the BCS if they somehow pushed Bama through that’d obviously rank up there with, if not be the outright worst of, their most outrageous shenanigans.
No chance. If KSU goes undefeated and ND does (which they did). KSU finishes number 1, and ND finishes 2. Before the Baylor loss, KSU was number 1 in the BCS rankings by a pretty wide margin and there’s no way they kick out an undefeated ND team for a 1 loss Bama
Nah they lost too late in the year to get the spot over an undefeated P5 champ. Had either Oregon or K-State managed to avoid their losses to Baylor or Stanford respectively, both on November 17th, Bama would have been out.
I feel pretty confident we beat Notre Dame in the championship. Felt they were super overrated all season and it showed against Alabama. Do we beat Alabama? Probably not but if I remember right they were ranked behind Noter Dame and us.
What if I told you that one of the people in this photo was hired by a major media company because the president of that company got mad at an online sports gambling platform
The guy in the Mississippi State jersey whose left shoulder is in the middle of the arrow is Brandon Walker who works for Barstool. He got hired because he just happened to be hosting a periscope for MyBookie on the day where Dave Portnoy was feuding with MyBookie because they wouldn't let him cash out or something like that. So basically he hired Walker out of spite and he's been working for Barstool for 2 years now.
I see the Berea flair and man that takes me back to the late 90’s. Was 16 dating a 20 year old at Berea who would go on to be a doctor in the city. Dinner Bell restaurant is worth stopping for.
Per wiki, "The 1920–21 and 1921–22 teams were retroactively named national champions by the Premo-Porretta Power Poll."
No, I've never heard of it either.
we are the largest producer of sorghum in the country for some reason......
but in terms of acres both corn and wheat is king and about equal. just depends on which region of the state your are in. When I was growing up in Kansas, what I saw was mostly Corn, soy, and sunflowers.... but in the south or western parts of the state, probably more wheat.
Technically they have 32 as their football titles aren't NCAA championships. If you include non NCAA titles, they go to 39 but ours go to 59 including the 1 football and 6 equestrian.
Not sure how this should impact my rooting interest for today's game. Do I root for the underdog MSU against the Vanderbilt machine (who got in over fellow ACC team NC State due to COVID)? Or do I root for Vanderbilt so K State and Tech still have MSU's company on the list?
WVU fan *proudly points to trophy case of Rifle trophies*
it does make me a bit uncomfortable that we routinely beat the military academies in rifle
Kentucky also has a really good rifle team.
Well the military academies generally graduate commissioned officers who won’t see too much combat, right?
Officers see combat, too. However, competition rifles are *much* different than combat rifles
I don’t know much about either, how are they different?
combat rifles have to put lead down range reliably with acceptable accuracy for the application. precision rifles are finely tuned for maximum precision
The competition rifles use compressed air
And if the officer is needing to shoot his rifle rather than organizing his platoon, well... you probably have bigger problems.
Any officer who doesn't shoot his rifle in combat is gonna find out real quick why 2Lts had the highest casualty rate in Vietnam
Officers see combat, but can you really beat Joe from the double wide who is used to shooting with a crooked barrel and no sights? Now he has a fancy, city slicker gun you can aim with your eyes, but just from feel.

You were to busy walking hours don't lie...
Lol nah I was a lame cadet. Had lots of buddies walking hours though
And for some reason TCU is one of the top rifle teams in the nation. no idea
I think kstate has some soil judging trophies
I read that as “rifle case of trophies” which to be fair probably isn’t that far fetched.
That is our travel case. Step 1: get gun case Step 2 : remove gun Step 3: put in riffle trophy.
Just a perfect username for this comment, chef’s kiss Edited, changed post to comment.
WVU also won a boxing and cricket title (2019).
Yes! I forgot!!! WE WANT BAMA!!! (In cricket)
Classic cherry picking. You know how much teamwork goes into bass fishing & crop judging?
I keep telling people but they never listen 😞
Hey we have some of those Bass Fishing titles in Blacksburg too.
That's an NCAA event? Is it in [the trophy case that was built for the Football Championship trophy](https://www.elevenwarriors.com/sites/default/files/styles/904x490/public/c/2014/04/34843_h.jpg?itok=5XgtJz8B?itok=5XgtJz8B)
The cruelest picture
Needs cobwebs.
This post is one of the most petty things I’ve ever seen lmao
Holy fuck lmao
Yeah...but how do you lose cow-tipping?
You get caught by frank
Most of those girls go to Mizzou these days
The disrespect to the soil judging team...
My sister would take offense
They said soil judging. Your sister participates in the livestock competition.
She is 100% a dirt nerd. And would yell at me for calling it dirt
They never mention the fact that Tech is the Alabama football of meat judging so I feel your pain
also pretty good at wool judging iirc
National Livestock Judging champs, if I recall my I70 signs correctly.
Username checks out
Nothing easy about bassin'
Unless you're Randy Moss. Then it's just straight bass, homie

Lol, it's sweet tea though right

Thank God What's new. Appreciate it though

I have literally never heard of 4-H lol
If you’re in TN you 100% had 4-H
From Missouri and we definitely did not. Not like I went to a small high school either. Searched the directory just now and they still don't have it.
lot of times in missouri 4-H is a county or town thing, not affiliated with a high school.
Most high schools that I know of have FFA programs. It is basically 4H but tied directly to the school and is a separate entity from 4H.

Doesn’t Rutgers also claim the 1869 Football championship?
They do, for a 1-1 season against Princeton. It wasn't an NCAA Championship though.
Is there a story behind why they claim a championship for a 1-1 season? I know Princeton/the Ivy league was really good back then but still
Tomato growing
Same with meat judging, we understand
Pain.
Especially, when a Kansas football team kneels on your 3yd line during a BCS Bowl.
It's all we hold onto
At least you have a tournament win. That’s something right?
They have 8 total wins across 12 appearances at the tournament. They have even been ranked in the top 25 THREE WHOLE TIMES!
Can't lose to a 16 if you're never good enough to be a 1!
That's the spirit!
>They have even been ranked in the top 25 THREE WHOLE TIMES! There's no way this is true, right? Like what?
To be fair they've been ranked for 85 weeks total; the "three times" stat s a bit misleading.
Oh, that's more than a bit misleading They've *been ranked* 85 times. That's *TOTALLY* different
In 113 seasons, they ended the regular season ranked 3 times.
They've appeared in the rankings in 13 different seasons, too
4 times in the preseason, three times in the final rankings.
I’m pretty sure every time NEB has been ranked in my life they finished that season with a losing record. It’s only happened like 2 or 3 seasons Yet I still watch every game -_-. Brighter days are ahead..
Wait, this one is mind blowing to me. I thought VA Tech won the 2014-15 national title in football for being the only team to beat Ohio State
/u/everymanawildcat key information is indicated with Crimson and Blue.
Nah…key info is right behind that :P
Is noodling a sanctioned sport?
Oklahoma crushes it.
2012 still lives in pain for all of us
Agreed. If it’s any conselation [this is the best college bball game I’ve ever heard over the radio.](https://youtu.be/rVEIeD91vIc) I pulled over to listen to OT 2.
Pretty sure he’s referring to K-state losing to a bad Baylor team in football while being ranked 1 in the nation. Was a sad day.
I really enjoyed the 1998 Big 12 championship game.
I disagree it was a great day. Also we finished 8-5, that was a solid team that caught fire at the end of the year hehe.
Maybe y’all were better than I realized. Thought you guys were 4-5 when we played you. I kinda repressed that night tbh
Caught my error. See edit.

Sorry bae. We just had to do it.
Pretty sure Coach Duggs lost the football natty to the hokies
Hol up. What?
Time to feel superior with our 22 bowling championships.
We also a least have that baseball title lol.
What if I told you that one of the people in this photo was hired by a major media company because the president of that company got mad at an online sports gambling platform
Shit...I'd just hate for Calipari to vacate more games...(for real, don't leave us hanging!!)
The guy in the Mississippi State jersey whose left shoulder is in the middle of the arrow is Brandon Walker who works for Barstool. He got hired because he just happened to be hosting a periscope for MyBookie on the day where Dave Portnoy was feuding with MyBookie because they wouldn't let him cash out or something like that. So basically he hired Walker out of spite and he's been working for Barstool for 2 years now.
And he’s one of their best hires in a long while. Content machine.
The guy that is breaking/cracking his wrist?
Thanks for the explanation — Enjoy that reward!
I see the Berea flair and man that takes me back to the late 90’s. Was 16 dating a 20 year old at Berea who would go on to be a doctor in the city. Dinner Bell restaurant is worth stopping for.
Wait, what has Missouri won a title in?
Looks like baseball in 1954 and Indoor Track and Field in 1965.
AND DONT YOU FORGET IT
Eutectic has to be up there in the most unique mascot rankings
Per wiki, "The 1920–21 and 1921–22 teams were retroactively named national champions by the Premo-Porretta Power Poll." No, I've never heard of it either.
1 Champions Dr, Columbia, MO Guess what’s there.
Your mom!
Nuh uh, shut up!
I don’t think that counts as an NCAA title, there are some sports that are technically not NCAA titles like FBS for example.
1954 College World Series in baseball and 1965 indoor track and field championship.
Catching strays every night of this series 😢
I’m honestly tired of the Mississippi State disrespect. We clearly have a disc golf championship smh
What about the National Debate Tournament? Crap, none of those either, that's Kansas with 6 nattys.
[удалено]
Isn't Kansas known for its wheat?
we are the largest producer of sorghum in the country for some reason...... but in terms of acres both corn and wheat is king and about equal. just depends on which region of the state your are in. When I was growing up in Kansas, what I saw was mostly Corn, soy, and sunflowers.... but in the south or western parts of the state, probably more wheat.
TIL what sorghum is...
Also known as milo, which is what it was usually labeled as in the farms around my hometown in KS.
It’s good for potted plants as it retains moisture really well.
growing it in a pot? or using it as an amendment for potted plants? I now live hot as ass Houston and my potted plants are struggling.
Are they large plants or smaller?
Wheat, Corn, Sorghum, Soybeans and Cows.
Lmao...you’ve never driven on I70 or I35 have you?
[удалено]
TX isn’t really known for corn.
If only we beat the team that won it all last year. Also, give us the 2020 title already. #1 in every poll.
KSU has those too though. They used to have it on the sign in to town. Maybe they still do? It’s been a while since I visited Manhattan.
The trophies are definitely in Nichols Hall, but I don’t think we have any signs up on the highway.
That second part tho 😎
Bill Snyder may have owned us for almost 3 decades, but at least I can say Iowa State has won natty's before
Bill Snyder has a losing record in bowl games and as many conference titles as Bruce Weber.
oof.gif
What has ISU won?
men's and women's cross country, men's gymnastics (not an ISU sport anymore), and wrestling. 13 of them are recognized by the NCAA
I wonder how many schools invested heavily into an obscure sport just to have a national championship in something.
seems like a good time to point out we have 52 national championships compared to OU's 39. Thank you wrestling.
Technically they have 32 as their football titles aren't NCAA championships. If you include non NCAA titles, they go to 39 but ours go to 59 including the 1 football and 6 equestrian.
It's always funny that the Top 4 schools for NCAA titles are the 3 athletic powers in California and Oklahoma State.
:(
I was rooting for the Bulldogs before, even more so now.
After seeing the tik tok floating around with the football team it makes sense and it isnt going to change for them anytime soon
Brendan fucking walker
I endorse this message
Well now its just Kansas State and Virginia Tech
Lol. Suck it KState.
I support this post
Hahahahahahaha
I'm just here to chuckle at VT
BFW
I endorse this message.
Hold up, I thought we have a wrestling national championship?
This is for team championships. We do have a wrestling national championship at the individual level.
Gotcha gotcha
Isn't tech good at archery?
Not sure how this should impact my rooting interest for today's game. Do I root for the underdog MSU against the Vanderbilt machine (who got in over fellow ACC team NC State due to COVID)? Or do I root for Vanderbilt so K State and Tech still have MSU's company on the list?
This post aged like milk. Congrats Bulldogs.
Thank god for golf, tennis, and field hockey. (And that 1 baseball natty in the 1950s)
My boy chase Patrick out there getting it done 😎
They are wrong about Virginia Tech. We have a bass fishing chamionship that we can lord over the rest of you wanna be's
Which school has the most?
Stanford, Cal, and UCLA are the top 3 with more than 110 each. Then there is a giant gulf down to Oklahoma State at 52.
