Is it strange for the Bama fans to be this excited about basketball?

Not really when, much like baseball, it has the 2nd most all-time wins in the SEC.

Not really. Put a product that is halfway decent on the floor and we fill the gym and get excited bout basketball. Filled it up during the Wimp era, the Gottfried era and most of the Grant era. It's pretty consistent throughout the years.

Some loud people seem to find pride in letting everyone know they don't care about other sports, but the majority of the non-Wal Mart fanbase cares about basketball and baseball (and basically anything else that exists with athletes wearing Crimson).

I thought I was pretty low on the Hogs, but this makes no sense to me.

There's always been some excitement throughout the years. Unfortunately, disappointment and reality usually follows.

Unfortunately, with Caldwell suspended for the first five games, we may not crack the rankings this year.

I've spent the entire offseason thinking about whether we can make the NCAA tournament when Sexton and Petty inevitably run into eachother on a screen and crack eachothers hips.

That's just how my brain works with Alabama basketball.

Love seeing post like this, when we've had pretty good attendance considering we have probably the worst arena in the league.

It's that time of year again for people to pretend like Alabama people don't care about basketball.

And a double helping this year as we are better than past years so you get "they don't care" plus the "oh now they care"! A true smorgasbord of fun.
