Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
The only school to make a Women's Frozen Four the same year as a Final Four of either gender is Minnesota in 2004, when Women's hockey won a title and Women's BBall made the Final Four.
The Gophers do not have a football championship/Frozen Four double in the same calendar year, but did do it in the same school year with the 1960 Football National Title and the 1961 Frozen Four Appearance.

It's in the red family
Would dark red/light red be better?

Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
You can just as easily say it is in the brown family.
There are enough teams with maroon/crimson that they can be in their own category.

Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
bowling green hockey is definately more brown than orange.... the road uni`s have predominately been brown over the past 30 years.

Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
Thanks for checking. I was surprised that the NCAA website only listed the men's hockey winners (not even the second-place team); and Wikipedia shows the finalists but not all four of the teams.
So far only UConn has won a men's and women's division I basketball championship in the same year. Since there is no 'real' playoff in Division I football, hard to say who actually 'won'; I realize many people either go by # 1 in the polls or accept the BCS result....the latter would have Florida as BCS # 1 and men's basketball tournament winner in same academic year. (UConn men also beat Duke men in 1999 basketball final while Purdue women beat Duke women in 1999 basketball final).
I don't even want to think about schools that compete in different divisions for different sports......
It will be interesting to see the winner of the Capital One Cup (supposedly across NCAA sports for the academic year).

Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
Oddest of all, the outcomes of this year's semi-final games were won by the team with the better power plays/kills. This is odd because earlier this year the leading hockey experts on this very site conclusively refuted the suggestion that power plays/kills are commonly the second most important factor in winning or losing a hockey game. What are the odds that "special teams" will determine tonight's NC game?

Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
The WCHA was 8-4 in this year's tournament and its only non-conference losses came against Michigan. Western Michigan was the tournament virus. Denver beats them, them loses to North Dakota, who loses to Michigan, who loses to UMD. Western Michigan was kind of a super virus as Miami beat them in the CCHA title game, then Miami loses to UNH in the first round, UNH loses to Notre Dame, Notre Dame loses to UMD.

Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
tUMD becomes first school since Michigan State in 1966 to win both a Football Championship and a Hockey Championship in the same season. Congrats!
oh, and all the hockey experts can go on about how DII Football doesn't count...the fact is no other school has done it since MSU in 1966! And tUMD did it w/o their top 2 WRs, starting TE and Isaac Odim (3-time All American RB) who missed 2nd half of season after scoring 17 tds in the first half. 2nd title in 3 years -Yeah, a healthy DII tUMD and I think U of MN, Michigan and Notre Dame and others would've got run over by this DII team...

Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
I would have to agree
UMD never lost back to back games all year. I believe only one school could say the same. Not sure what school however...

Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
Then you can throw out Michigan State's little fact from '66 and say that Minnesota-Duluth is the only school to win both an NCAA Football Tournament and Hockey Tournament in the same school year. FWIW though, the poster never claimed it had to be an NCAA title, just that they were National Champions.

Re: Frozen Four Oddities.
This was apparently poorly researched by ESPN or researched by a Michigan State grad. They kept saying that Michigan State was the only other team to win both in '1966.' Even though that is vague I'll assume they meant a 65-66 school year double, however, as FS23 mentioned, Michigan did the same in 07-08. You could say they were talking calendar year, even though that's not what UMD did, because the College Football Data Warehouse also recognizes a MSU title in 66, but Michigan did the same in 1948.
