You can certainly argue this point and be right. What I and other Bama fans take exception to is that this is supposedly the case when BOTH teams are successful. In other words, does Alabama routinely pack the house out if Anthony Grant goes on the same run at Alabama that Pearl did the last few years at Tennessee? I contend that this is exactly what would happen at Alabama as well. You and others seem to insinuate that Alabama doesn't pack it out because none of them care about basketball in the first place while we contend that all we need is a effective coach that wins at a reasonable level and we support the program just as well as Tennessee fans would.

This year Alabama and UT had pretty similar seasons... and UT averaged about 6K more fans per game

I don't think i said that

I did say that schools like Bama, UGA, and LSU are football first and basketball a distant second in fan interest.

But that is just acknowledging the obvious IMO
