YES!
ok just had to change it so GASO fans can be clued in on where you were going with this.
And change "cherry pick sports" to football, MBB, and baseball.
Funny that the GAST fan "cherry picked" the big 3 sports and we're getting bashed for saying we're solid at all 3.
Baseball:
2015 - #4 seed, 0-2
2016 - #6 seed, 3-1, lost in Championship
2017 - #5 seed, 2-1, lost in Championship in 10 innings
2018 - #5 seed, 1-2
Basketball:
2014-2015 - #2 seed, lost in the Championship by 2
2015-2016 - #5 seed, lost in the first round
2016-2017 - #3 seed, lost in the quarterfinals
2017-2018 - #3 seed, lost in the semifinals
2018-2019 - at worst #4 seed
Football:
2014: #1, 9-3 (8-0), won Championship
2015: #3, 9-4 (6-2), finished 2 games back
2016: #6, 5-7 (4-4), Tyson Summers
2017: #10, 2-10 (2-6), Tyson Summers
2018: #3, 10-3 (6-2), finished 1 game back
Meanwhile, App has never finished better than 11th in baseball, and has only finished better than 11th once in basketball (5th in 2018, lost in quarterfinals). Your football accomplishments are very impressive, you must be proud (finishes of #3, #2, #1, #1, #1). But when it comes to baseball and basketball, it's time to take a seat.
Georgia State comes out a little better due to their improvements in football. Basketball has finished with a top 2 seed in 4 of 5 years (other year was 6th), won 2 titles, and played for another. Football finished last or next to last in 3 of 6 years, but finished as high as 4th twice. Baseball only finished better than 10th once (5th in 2015, 1-2).
So yeah, App has the edge on us in football (thanks Tyson), and Georgia State has the edge on us in basketball, and Louisiana has the edge on us in baseball. Congrats to all involved.
But only GS and Troy have played for or won a title in all 3 major sports since the start of expansion (2012-2013 season).
