The above post is the worst post in the history of Alabama sports forums on the internet.

No. We will always be a football school first. Even after Saban leaves we will still be a football school.

TN and Auburn are both traditionally football schools first. They still are, Tennessee has just fallen way off in football. The only basketball school in the SEC is Kentucky, but there could probably be an argument made for others as well.

I don't think he is comparing it to football. I think he just means will we garner respect as a basketball team in same way that UT and AU have achieved recently.

And i think we will be.

(a) We will never be known as a basketball school. We will always be known as a football school. See the period of the mid-2000s when football was a trainwreck and basketball was a perennial Top 25 program and we were still a football school for proof

(b) Who knows? People need to chill with all the grand proclamations and comparisons.

I think it's funny how basketball's format makes people think programs are doing better than their football counterparts.

Auburn's season that ended with a Peach Bowl loss to UCF is better than any they've had in basketball under Bruce.

Peeple could also chill with the contemptuous statements like, "This is the worst post in the history of Alabama sports boards." This is a place to throw stuff out there. Find some other straw men to thrash, message board hero.

Dude, you've spewed your own bullshite at times, some bullshite so strong that many here questioned the Christianity of a poster named LovetheLord. So you can shove your self-righteous hypocrisy right up your arse.

Second, the day Alabama is known as a basketball school will be the same day that Hell is known as a nice place to enjoy a banana daiquiri.

The internet allows people who are seperated by great distances to communicate, and the medium is puedo-anonymous. What about this precludes me from speaking to you strongly?

I am speaking to you just as I would IRL. And so, what is your insult? Are you saying that humans should change the way they speak over the internet? Are you saying that a person is morally obligated to be different because of the medium they are communicating through?

We’re a football school, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be great at both

Yeah without question. He will make more than Saban. Bryant-Denny will be converted into a massive basketball arena.

If Bama is ever known as a "basketball school" then something went horribly wrong with our football program
