Again, this is only your individual opinions, so everybody will possibly vary somewhat. I think the general consensus will be something like:

1). Football
2). Women's gymnastics
3). Women's softball
4). Men's basketball
5). Tennis/golf ??

3 & 4 might be interchangeable with some....so how do y'all list them if any different from above?

I was about to say pretty much the same thing. Why in the world would this be interesting?

Pretty sure most Bama fans had no idea how well their softball team was doing 2 weeks ago. I would be in the same boat if it was Auburn.

Grats to those girls!

Bulljive, a lot of Bama fans have been following their softball team really well for at least a couple years now (as they've been contending for a while now). Pretty sure they get pretty good attendance numbers as well (same goes for UF).

I'm predicting most will say the sports that they have currently won titles in. That being said, I honestly doubt many of them had that MUCH interest in those sports that have won titles recently before the current success of those respective teams.

BUT, you cant blame them for being glad that their school has won multiple titles in such a short time. BUT AGAIN, I hope they don't think the other fans of the SEC will care that much and using the success of these sports as bragging rights will cause eyes to roll. BUT BUT AGAIN, the feat is pretty damn impressive.

tl;dr idgaf lol

I saw a couple of pitches from Game 1. I think you may be using the term "girls" a bit loosely.

I'll freely admit that I would have much less interest in the last 2 if it weren't for the fact that Bama is very good at them. That's at least partly due to the fact that unlike the other 3, I don't have any personal experience playing those sports and didn't grow up rooting for Bama in those sports. That said, I've been a casual fan of both for over 10 years but I do tend to follow more closely when one of them is making a run at a championship.

And it never ceases to amaze me the contempt that some LSU fans have towards Bama fans and baseball. I am a baseball fan but like most Bama baseball fans this year I don't really want to talk about it because we were so horrible. This seems like a pretty natural response to me. Most LSU fans I've come across claim to be big supporters of their basketball program yet most of them have been very quiet 5 of the last 6 years. Doesn't mean they're not fans, just means they don't want to harp on a bad situation.
