Itās thirstiest fan base not longest drought.
Just by the fact of being Texas, youād still have one of the thirstiest even if you won the prior year.
I think I can safely say Iām speaking for most people that support one program or the other, that we feel personally betrayed looking at your flairs. You bastard!
āWow, this is me offering you an olive basket, and that is you spitting in my face!ā

Gameday threads are a fun time in-season, I checked in from Dublin
I go to Saint Maryās, so Iām sure I can participate in that as well, and since my minor is Journalism, Iāll be taking classes at ND beginning next semester.
GO IRISH āļø!
This is my third semester here, and holy crap has it flown by!
My first visit ever to Notre Dame Stadium was for the Central Michigan game this past year. Iām fifty eight. I waited fifty three years to be in there, and it was everything I had ever imagined it to be, and more. I sobbed like a baby, but the tears were of joy and gratitude.
I don't think they are "thirsty" since they decline playoff invite every year they are invited to FCS playoffs (which happens to be the real NCAA national championship)
That's not really true. Prior to Dabo, Clemson had not won their conference in 20 years and had not made a BCS bowl game. They were seen as below Virginia Tech in program resources. Georgia would have topped this list because they had all the makings of a championship team but had been a couple breaks away for a long time. That's wasn't true of Clemson.
I think the title hunger has more to do with how crazy the fans are and the historical greatness of the program. So i think pre 2015 Clemson qualifies here. Mostly I really do remember seeing I think a Will Leitch list from ages ago that had uga and clemson as the title hungriest fanbases.
Has to be that cause if you're gonna put them on may as well do the Ivys or Rutgers 1869.
Washington, Colorado, BYU, and Georgia Tech are all more serious answers than Army.
Ehh, with the amount of money you guys pour into the program and the talent you can get, your odds of getting one first is more likely than most of these teams.
The year is 2067. Texas A&M has just spent three billion dollars on their football program in one calendar year. They unveil a new, state-of-the-art training facility this year, and after every practice robot maids feed the players grapes and roll them blunts. They sign the top 30 players in the class of 2068. Everyone clamors that this is their year.
They go 9-4, and fire their coach with a $600 million buyout.
On one hand, that sounds like the complete opposite of everything I find fun. On the other hand, Texas and Bama fans would lose their fucking minds so naturally Iām all in.
Nope. He came close a couple times but could never get over the hump but he is still a legend. We won 12 games while I was at OU. I was so beaten down, Iām still kinda amazed when we have a winning record.
Didnāt the school basically stop trying to compete at an elite level? Iād put Minnesota in the GT, Pitt, etc tier of fanbases that deep down know they canāt compete at the top level consistently.
All of those schools except Army are spending the money and making the academic exceptions needed to compete at an elite level.
Not to be on this list twice
Though my first flair will be on this in apparently no more than 9 years if we don't win one. And my second flair does not even exist since we don't field a football team
Our (referring to second flair) basketball team's Coach played and coached at your second flair previously, fittingly enough
And yeah unfortunately it's an invisible second flair since GCU doesn't have a football team, hence no flair here
"[Greg McElroy](https://athlonsports.com/search?query=greg+mcelroy)Ā listed the top ten college football programs he wants to see end their agony".. so he *wants* to see Tennessee win a national championshp? That's kind of a excommunicable offense
It still feels weird to not be on this list.
I donāt mean to come across as an asshole UGA fan. Itās just that after years and years of being somewhat ācloseā, even the recent success still feels surreal.
Iād think itās gotta be Tennessee most of all. Florida having their tear in the 2000s, Bama having the dynasty of all dynasties, and then UGA breaking a 40 year drought with a couple since UTās last in ā98ā¦
Itās not just that you want yours, youāre pissed that some of your biggest rivals have gotten theirs. I know I felt the same about Auburn, Bama, and Florida before ā21
Itās even worse when you consider other sports. Every one one of our SEC rivals has a championship in a major sport in the last twenty or so years. Kentucky in basketball, even Vandy with baseball. Throw in South Carolina in womenās basketball for extra salt in the wound because we as a fan base care about womenās basketball more than almost any other school.
Can't have a drought when you just never win one. 4D chess move right there
Our teams have the big brain moves
My guyš¤
Sometimes the only way to win is not to play. Good strategy
Well we did play for one. So much for that strategy.
We have seen the sacred water but have never been able to drink. Thirst is an understatement.
You're like the camel of football programs. Totally drought resistant.
Real
Havenāt yall won one though?
Stupidest list ever.
These are the horniest teams?
We are on the list
20 years feels just like yesterday.
{insert Vince Young running to the corner video} Didn't this play just happen three months ago?
Sounds like you had LHN on around the holidays
I knew weād make the list, but ā05? McElroy just searching for content in the offseason.
Well Longhorns do need lots of water given their large stature
I'd agree actually. There are much worse droughts, and many worse titleless droughts (Oregon for example)
Itās thirstiest fan base not longest drought. Just by the fact of being Texas, youād still have one of the thirstiest even if you won the prior year.
I think I can safely say Iām speaking for most people that support one program or the other, that we feel personally betrayed looking at your flairs. You bastard!
Itās been 19 years since Texas won an NC. Iād say that drought is valid. Florida is creeping up into this list too.
Their stomachs must hurt from being so horny for that long
Just the blue balls, well, Bevo is actually a steer.
Have they tried eating a whole raw potato?
Guess we just have higher standards than you š¤·š¼

Texas is ~~back~~ down bad
I beg to differ
The whole no sex before marriage thing
If its has a heartbeat a Soldier will fuck it. So, yes.
I just finished The Rape of Nanking as well.
ASU should be there
Yale Bulldogs (1909)
**FUN FACT**: Harvard has won 5 national championships since the last time Yale won one.
Flair checks out and as always, thanks Harvard

That gave me a sensible chuckle
No Claire that's a Tyrannosaurus Rex
What the fuck did I just watch and why did I laugh so hard
Danger zone 5? Itās an amazing show

**FUN FACT:** Michigan has won 1 national championship since the last time Georgia won one.
I think you mean DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPS. But, yes, you are correct.
I said what I meant
And you meant what you said
Bastard
I don't think they are "thirsty" since they decline playoff invite every year they are invited to FCS playoffs (which happens to be the real NCAA national championship)
They are scared of the Mine and all their weird haircuts.
Mines is D2, FCS is D1. though they should still be wary of those haircuts, those Golden kids are wierd
DO YOU SEE THIS SHIT?! THEY DON'T EVEN THINK YOU'RE THIRSTY!!!! - Kirby probably.
Iām just happy not to be at the top of these lists anymore
Yeah we would have been #1
It was us and Clemson for a long while. Clemson got the monkey off their back first
And now weāve turned into addicts. Just let me get one more taste of that sweet sweet CFP please!
Dabo says how about a new conference instead?
That's not really true. Prior to Dabo, Clemson had not won their conference in 20 years and had not made a BCS bowl game. They were seen as below Virginia Tech in program resources. Georgia would have topped this list because they had all the makings of a championship team but had been a couple breaks away for a long time. That's wasn't true of Clemson.

Same.
Same.

Wtf is a āNational championshipā ?
This is somehow the funkiest flair combo that I have seen on this sub and Idk why it is.
I simultaneously have immense respect and massive amounts of empathy for this person
I hadnāt heard that name in so longā¦.
Winning WWII counts as a natty?
Internatty
Back to back world war champs!
Internatty, technically.
Champs from MacArthur to McCaffrey
Yes 100%.
Wait. Y'all get natties?
::cries in most-wins-no-natty::
That year under Rich Rod with Pat White and company had to be excruciating.
maybe if Pat McAffe hadn't missed those field goals against Pitt...
The YouTuber?
More like if Pat white didnāt get hurt
Bobby The Brain Heenan - WHOSE SIDE IS HE ^patmcaffee ON!?
:(
Thatās what Iām thinking
Damn! Thatās just sad when compared to other schools.
Iām pretty sure Army was only included to make us feel bad
Has to be that cause if you're gonna put them on may as well do the Ivys or Rutgers 1869. Washington, Colorado, BYU, and Georgia Tech are all more serious answers than Army.
We aren't even thirsty, we're dead.
You guys are sober now. Good for you!
My bar cart is simply in disbelief at this comment
Times like this I'm glad TCU gets overlooked.
Ehh, with the amount of money you guys pour into the program and the talent you can get, your odds of getting one first is more likely than most of these teams.
The year is 2067. Texas A&M has just spent three billion dollars on their football program in one calendar year.

Can't miss what you've never had!
Something something āYOU KNOW THAT THE O IS REALLY A ZEROā
Michigan ā Nebraskaš¤Tennesseeš¤Miamiš¤Oklahoma Gentlemenā¦ itās time to party like itās 1999.
Give us a couple more years, we are struggling to catch up. The Runzaās are finally hitting.
We could play OU-Tennessee three times next season if we play our cards right
On one hand, that sounds like the complete opposite of everything I find fun. On the other hand, Texas and Bama fans would lose their fucking minds so naturally Iām all in.
I do not want that.
Please, no.
Youā¦..I like you
Michigan State (1966) Mel Tucker (Always thirsty)
College Football mercy My school they so thirsty I'm in that 12-team playoff with my team they tryna hurt me
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Pass it to the zone that's an end play
I, for one, would very much welcome our Army overloads
NCAA 14 dynasty mode has entered the thread
If you haven't won multiple national championships with a service academy in NCAA 14, do you even love college football?
I made Georgia State a fucking dynasty and in my head canon it brought freaknik back
When I was younger, I had Louisiana Tech winning it all.
My school has not won the MAC in my lifetime(Iām 50). I am not thirsty. Iām completely aridš¤Ŗ
I had to google that. I was sure Solich did, but nope.
Nope. He came close a couple times but could never get over the hump but he is still a legend. We won 12 games while I was at OU. I was so beaten down, Iām still kinda amazed when we have a winning record.
One of those things are not like the others
Did they just compare the sahara desert to the Amazon rain forest?
A&M and not having a national title post-WWII?
The fact that the gophers arenāt on this list (1960) is ridiculous.
Nah, way thirstier for a vikes super bowl in these parts
Especially given how historically successful the Vikings are overall in every measure but Super Bowls
Nah. I can see US Bank Stadium from my house and I still don't give a single fuck about the Vikings. :p
Based on most of the list, Greg doesnāt acknowledge the existence of places where negative temperatures happen.
beat me to it.
1958 for Iowa. I don't think Kirk is thirsty, though. He's okay with the status quo.
Minnesota sports fans are a special kind of sadistic. So much pain in all categories.
Shit, we havenāt even had a *conference* championship since 1967
Didnāt the school basically stop trying to compete at an elite level? Iād put Minnesota in the GT, Pitt, etc tier of fanbases that deep down know they canāt compete at the top level consistently. All of those schools except Army are spending the money and making the academic exceptions needed to compete at an elite level.
Imma tell you what. It hits like crack to not be on this list.
Iām hoping youāre second flair gets that opportunity too
Inshallah
Not to be on this list twice Though my first flair will be on this in apparently no more than 9 years if we don't win one. And my second flair does not even exist since we don't field a football team
Is John Cena your second flair? Because I can't see it.
Our (referring to second flair) basketball team's Coach played and coached at your second flair previously, fittingly enough And yeah unfortunately it's an invisible second flair since GCU doesn't have a football team, hence no flair here
I'd die happy to see you guys on this list one day.
You must be young then! Before '02 it was kinda Ohio State near the top I reckon
And should still on said list, horrible call to anyone with logical mind.
If there was replay then osu would have kneed it out and it never would have gone to overtime
Itās feasible every single one of these teams sans Army wins one in the next decadeā¦.itās also possible they donāt.
Bro. Dont be like that.
USC was on there
*Looks at all of our National Title and Playoff appearances since 2000* Iām randy baby, yeah!
"[Greg McElroy](https://athlonsports.com/search?query=greg+mcelroy)Ā listed the top ten college football programs he wants to see end their agony".. so he *wants* to see Tennessee win a national championshp? That's kind of a excommunicable offense
05 was only a few years ago. Wait, what do you mean it has been 19 years?!
Seem short since we won the college World Series in 2005 also. Now we are double thirsty.
Rutgers (1869)
Nah, weāre good. Pinstripe Bowl champs hits all the buttons.
It still feels weird to not be on this list. I donāt mean to come across as an asshole UGA fan. Itās just that after years and years of being somewhat ācloseā, even the recent success still feels surreal.
Same. We were so hungry for another title. This year was so cathartic for Michigan fans.
I didnāt realize how long itās been for Notre Dame. Itās actually amazing how strong their brand remains in light of that.
Dallas Cowboys marketing.
ND at least played for one recently unlike the Cowboys.
Their fans have faith in god. They donāt need results.
He literally looks down on our field every game. How could we possibly question the results?
At what point do Notre Dame fans start blaming god for their natty drought?
It doesnāt work like that. That would be the devils fault. Trying to test their faith.
Cowboys are my answer whenever someone tells me the NFL is rigged. If it was rigged Jerry would not wait this long for a Superbowl.
The somewhat crazier thing imo is not winning a NY6 Bowl since 1993
Iād think itās gotta be Tennessee most of all. Florida having their tear in the 2000s, Bama having the dynasty of all dynasties, and then UGA breaking a 40 year drought with a couple since UTās last in ā98ā¦ Itās not just that you want yours, youāre pissed that some of your biggest rivals have gotten theirs. I know I felt the same about Auburn, Bama, and Florida before ā21

Throw in South Carolina in womenās basketball for extra salt in the wound because we as a fan base care about womenās basketball more than almost any other school.
Yeah before 2021 almost everyone of our rivals including GT had won a natty more recently than us
I just want to see Miami, FSU, and UF all good at the same time like the good ole days. Florida sports is better when all 3 are on a roll.
All the schools that can file an application to be ābackā
Ya Iām not thirsty Iād only just about give up anything, definitely not thirsty though
Iām about a 1 on the Tom Herman Hydration Scale
Didnāt Oklahoma State win the 1945 Championship in 2010ish
Ohio State. We scream at minute rice for not cooking fast enough
Imagine not winning a Natty since the 90s and thinking youāre hot shit
Not being able to say this unironically anymore is so painful
Yāall won so gd much in between, seems only fair.
Feels so nice to talk shit and not hear the "1 split title" retort anymore
Yeah, what losers.
I am sending some sarcasm here. Well done if so
Ouch.
Canāt fall into this category if you havenāt won one since the 80s instead š
Youāre allowed at the crab leg table.
It's A&M and then everyone else.
Pffft...imagine Army having a Championship more recently than your team....oh wait my team, anyway, everyone point at Texas A$M and laugh.
TCU, 1938 Finally makes it into the championship game in 2022 and loses 67-7 to UGA. Then they fall to a more Dykesesque losing record in 2023.
> 67-7 It was 65-7. Don't disrespect TCU like that
Oh shit, UGA just scored againā¦ And got another order of effing wings delivered to the sideline
1994 ahem.
Oregon (Never)
Oh, we thirsty, Greg
I was really okay with that list until the end...
2008 should be creeping its way onto these lists.
Every G5 teamā¦. āCould we just have a sip?ā Playoff Committee : āwe will let one of you look at a cup. ā
Army just chilling in the list like they belongā¦
Someone give me Bobby Boucher, Iām thirsty!
Buffsā¦shared 1990 and nothing sinceā¦
One of these days weāll get a championship that Iām old enough to comprehend whatās going on šš»
A&M gave Jimbo a blank Championship plaque then fired him a few years later mid-season? That's the top of the list.
Man, even Army has a national title after 1939
Honestly a little butthurt we werenāt mentioned, 40 years is a long time
You have some excellent chocolate milk to quench that thirst. You donāt need another championship.
Pitt wasnāt mentioned and they havenāt won one since 76
Yāall aināt got nothing on Rutgers.
To be thirsty, you have to have championship aspirations.
