The Catamounts were crowned the best team in Vermont, in spite of not having a team since 1974.

Take that, Middlebury.

Every single sports-related social media ranking is a horseshit attempt at getting outrage clicks.
It's so boring.
Let's put a 70 year old fat guy at #2.  That'll do it.
Every post like this with 10K reactions/likes/shares is evidence against democracy.

Rice MOB is the best college marching band in Texas.

It's a bit interesting to me how the MB is a relatively Big Deal with some programs and a distinct afterthought with others.

Geography, and resources, likely play the largest part.  College marching bands are big in Texas, because high school marching bands are a big deal here.

This website follows all of the high school marching band competitions around the country, and ranks the top high school bands.

https://www.hornrank.com/p/top30.html

18 of the top 32 are from Texas.  The next highest number from one state, is 5 from Indiana.

It's not a big thing here at all, or wasn't when I was in HS, nor was it at UGA.  It may be somewhat more important there now, but not much.  I think they are the "Redcoat Marching Band", which is kinda funny,.
