For perspective on the best sports story going in the city, consider some of the greatest athletic feats in University of Toledo history.
The three seasons of spotless football magic from 1969-71. The Sweet 16 trip in 1979. The run to the Women’s College World Series in 1989. The wins in consecutive NCAA women’s basketball tournaments in 1991 and ‘92.
All featured great Rockets teams.
Only two of them — the football giants in 1970 and ‘71 — climbed higher in the national rankings than the UT women’s cross country team has this year.
Indeed, don’t look now, but something pretty damn cool might be brewing on Bancroft Street.
