With an 81-56 thrashing of Cal State-Bakersfield last night
in Taco Bell Arena, Boise State
became just the 14th school since 1980 to be a member of the “10-20
Club” twice. To gain access to the
exclusive club, a school must win 10 or more regular season football games,
followed by 20 or more regular season basketball wins that same school year. Boise
State achieved this feat despite
only playing in Division I-A football since 1996.
Last fall, the Bronco football team was 10-2 during the
regular season, doing their part to make it happen. The basketball team completed its mission
with its 20th victory of the season last night.
Boise State
achieved the feat in 2003-04, going 12-1 in football and 20-8 in
basketball. The Broncos joined Texas
as the only two schools to enter the club that year. The feat has been accomplished 35 times since
1996, the year Boise State
began playing football in I-A, and only six schools have done it twice in that
time. The Broncos, of course, won 10 or
more games several times from 1980-1995, but those victories came as part of
Division I-AA.
Oklahoma, BYU,
Arkansas, Texas,
Alabama, Florida
State, North Carolina, Michigan,
Notre Dame, Louisville, West
Virginia, Ohio
State and Wisconsin
are the only other 13 schools to gain access to the 10-20 club twice since
1980.
Texas and Oklahoma
are masters at accomplishing the milestone.
The Sooners have reached the plateau four times since 1996 and seven
since 1980, while Texas has also
achieved the feat four times since 1996 and five since 1980. Florida State,
Michigan and BYU have reached the 10-20
club three times.
In all, the 10-20 milestone has been reached just 38 times
since 1996 and 64 times since 1980, or a little more than two times per year. The Broncos also have a chance to make an
even tougher group in the 10-20-20
Club, which would make them just the 20th school since 1980 to gain
access. That more elusive club also
requires 20 wins by the women’s basketball team. Currently the Lady Broncos have 19 wins with at
least five more games to play.
