All the Auburn athletic department has is football....

While Auburn football has once again come back as an elite program, the rest of the athletic programs at Auburn have gone in the toilet. Why have the basketball and baseball programs been so bad for so long? Auburn is literally below average to terrible in everything but football. Even the one dominant sports program (men's swimming/diving and women's swimming/diving) has faded some. Does it bother you guys that you don't have a well rounded athletic program like Florida, LSU, Alabama, Georgia, etc? I can't imagine following a program that may as well be non existant once football season ends. Auburn can't seem to make the postseason in anything other than football. Why?
P.S. You guys took a huge step by hiring an excellent basketball, softball, and baseball coach but man you guys have sucked in everything other than football and swimming for a long time.

It is an interesting question, but I doubt it's answered in this thread.

All I could think about while reading this was how fat Bert is.

This reminds me of everybody getting their last licks in on Tennessee football cause they know things are about to cycle back. Auburn will be whompin Alabama in basketball in the very near future.

What made you so mad that you feel the need to make this thread?
Let me guess, you're with family for Memorial Day sitting on the dock having a drunk conversation with your Auburn cousin and you're pissed because he made you realize that Saban is past his peak while Malzahn is just getting started and will have Auburn near the top for several more years and you just can't stand it, so this is all you have to fall back on.

Give me a good football team and I'm happy. Everything else is just icing on the cake after that.
And let's not act like anyone really gives a shite about any sport but Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Which Bama hasn't really been worth a damn in any of those besides Football lately either.

Even football ,if it was not for cheating and getting lucky they would not have anything at all in their athletic department

At the end of the day, "show me the money!"
Football matters. It is the goose laying golden eggs. Success in any other sport, except maybe men's basketball, is just gravy.
SECCG tickets for FB routinely get 400 bucks on stubhub. How much does a non-KY SEC tournament BB game get? How much for women's gymnastics? Baseball?

Bamas in same boat. Women's sports don't count.

Softball just had one of its best years ever under a new coach, golf qualified for the NCAA finals, swimming is a consistent top 10 program, women's basketball is improving (but not there yet), we've gone out and made an excellent men's basketball hire.
The athletic department as a whole is in much better shape than it was just a couple years ago, with football being the main cog. It stands to improve across most sports in the near future... Time will tell.
