why is florida given so much credit for being the first school to hold the men's basketball and football titles at the same time? they did it only last year (men's basketball) and this year (football), and yet kentucky won the men's basketball championship in 1949 and a share of the football title in 1950, according to the ncaa's official website, www.ncaa.org. time to give credit where credit is due. why is florida given so much credit for being the first school to hold the men's basketball and football titles at the same time? they did it only last year (men's basketball) and this year (football), and yet kentucky won the men's basketball championship in 1949 and a share of the football title in 1950, according to the ncaa's official website, www.ncaa.org. time to give credit where credit is due. good point about it being a shared football title, but that fact remains that in 1949, uk won the basketball title, and in 1950, they won a share of the football title - shared titles happened nearly every year prior to the bcs, and schools still get credit for holding the title. so, at the conclusion of the football season in 1950, uk held both titles at the same time. just as florida won the basketball title in 2006 and the football title in 2007. all throughout the basketball season this year, the media has hyped it saying no team had ever accomplished that.

it's just to hype things up for tonight's game. Not many people would remember that Kentucky did that in 1949 and 1950. Shared title. If Florida win tonight, they will own both outright. (no sharing)

wow, that is an interesting statistic. however, college sports are far more competitive these days and they hold both titles outright. if they win this game, they will have done so in the same respective seasons. i hate florida but it is very impressive. and if by 1950, that means the 1950 football season, then they didnt hold the titles in the same year. im assuming the championship game was played in 1950, but it was the 49 season. if it was the 1950 season, then there was a football champ before that followed the 49 basketball season. also, the guy above made a good point about the title being shared....Florida has held both titles outright this year...and have a chance of winning both outright in one season. like i said, i hate UF!!!! but no denying that this is very impressive
