you know I've been kind of nice tip toeing around things you obviously had no clue about historically thus far but if you keep ignoring the obvious fact that I know what I'm talking about I might have to rethink that.
South Americans like soccer? Brazil has made every final? 32 teams I. the World Cup? wow! poor little old me had no idea! thanks for letting me know! I wonder what it's like there.

Ok, well my point was, is Alabama even in the top ten for just the Big 3 sports. I realize it said "Sports Program in History". It's a Yes or No question, but you can seek out the greatest sports program's in history if you want, but I am answering the question with a simple No based on just the information I have found. They would be 3rd just in college football, much less The Pro Big 3 and College Baseball/Basketball.

Sometimes we forget to never argue with a Bama fan. They will beat you down with arrogant entitlement and most certainly Alzheimers about anything outside the last 7-8 years and outside of Bama's world view.

No

If college football only had a handful of programs to compete against, like MLB, I'm sure we'd have more than 27 titles. We are second to no one.
Yeah but all of the programs they compete against are elite. A huge majority of college programs are just taking up space. Bama just basically has to compete with 7 to 9 other good programs every year.
You are not second. Top 5 for sure, maybe even number 3.
I would put the Yankees over you for sure, and Boston Celtics.

fROM 1984 - 2000 Arkansas dominated Track and field and won 16 Indoor NC's, 11 Outdoor NC's and 9 Cross country NC's.
So the answer is not really no, it would fall between hell no and nowhere in the fricking ballpark.

UCLA's basketball reign under John Wooden: 10 titles in 12 years and one stretch of 88 straight wins!!!
Little Nicky and Around The Bowl have a little more work to do!

FWIW, Oklahoma State wrestling trumps Iowa wrestling. 34 championships to Iowa's 23.
Posted on 1/14/16 at 10:01 am to IAmReality
Yankees, Celtics, Tide... in that order.

No. Not even the best college football program in history. Notre Dame has more wins, higher winning percentage.
At least 5 of Bama's "national championships" are BS.
