Attendance =/= ticket sales


I wasn't challenging the attendance or ticket sales total numbers. Most SEC Programs are within a couple of thousand in attendance per game. Most of the other revenue factors are the same. Forbes doesn't show how the put a dollar figure with their rankings.

I'm saying we have far more overall wins (by 200+; LSU doesn't rank in the top 50 in the country), more head to head wins, more SEC Tournament Championships, and only one fewer NCAA Tournament appearance (as of two weeks ago). Take out of that whatever you want.

How many of those overall/head-to-head wins would you trade for the four Final Four appearances LSU has? Please answer this question. Thanks.......

Final Fours- LSU(4) Bama(0)
Elite Eights- LSU(6) Bama(1)


If you polled 1000 college basketball fans from around the country, I don't think you would get one person to take those plastic wins over the Final Four and Elite eight appearances. Think about it...bama has only finished in the top 10 once in its history as it relates to the NCAAT. That's pathetic. Really.

Trying to pretend like LSU has been some dominant basketball program compared to Alabama,

You sound like Miss. St. fans when they start trying to diminish the 6 NC's LSU has in baseball because they have many more head-to-head wins as if anybody in the college baseball world cares.

You're right about one thing..there is no need to pretend like LSU is the more dominant program. Plastic stats aside, LSU is the more dominant program.

LSU has had some great teams,

True...LSU has had some great teams. Has bama ever had even 1 great team? I think not.

but their history is extremely top heavy and inconsistent.

Bama had one really good year. Think about that, Bubba.

The 1980s is what keeps LSU basketball from being absolutely irrelevant.

The last hundred years is what has kept bama from being relevant.

You can't be serious... With any of that... Are you?

I think everyone is well aware of the difference in tournament results between the two schools.

Other than that, tell me more about LSU's history of dominance over Alabama in basketball.

Top heavy, inconsistent, paper tigers. That's all you're spouting off about right now...

I bet you think LSU is a "more dominant" football program than Tennessee, too, don't you?
