re: Alabama in top 3 sports

You just wasted a whole lot of time and effort to "prove" something that no Bama fan disagrees with.

Yes and you proved my point by listing all-time SEC wins as the measuring stick of success for both basketball and baseball when that means absolutely nothing. Did you not say this immediately as a response to the OP:

quote:

---

#1 in the conference in all time wins in Baseball

#3 in the conference in all time wins in Basketball

Only school in the SEC to be ranked in the top 3 in the conference in all time wins in all 3 major sports.

Bottomline is that Alabama has the 7th best basketball program in the SEC... and most of the programs in the bottom half are a small run of major success away from passing Bama as well. There's just not much separation between any of the programs outside of Kentucky and Arkansas.

Same goes for baseball. You immediately touted SEC wins in your rebuttal post, ignoring the fact that making the SEC Tournament and especially getting to Omaha are the true barometers of College Baseball success.

College World Series Appearances:

1) LSU- 17 (6 national titles)
2) S. Carolina- 11 (2 national titles)
3) Florida- 9
3) Mississippi State- 9
5) Arkansas- 8
6) Georgia- 6 (1 national title)
6) Missouri- 6 (1 national title)
8) Texas A&M- 5
8) Ole Miss- 5
8) Alabama- 5
11) Auburn- 4
11) Tennessee- 4
13) Vanderbilt- 3 (1 national title)
14) Kentucky- 0

So again with baseball, Alabama is certainly at best in the middle-of-the-pack, yet your immediate response to the OP tried to imply that Bama was in the Top 3.

So thanks for proving my point. Bama fans constantly do this with both baseball and basketball.
