Seeing how bad Alabama's bball team is and how shitty their season has gone, makes me wonder why they aren't competitive in other sports. You'd think with that big of a school, all those students, alums, money, boosters, etc they'd be relevant in other sports. This isn't just an Alabama bashing thread, but are they relevant (besides football) in anything other than women's gymnastics? They have to take the cake for most disappointing athletic department, if not one of the worst overall.

So if not Bama, who does have the worst sports program overall? Ole Miss?


Eta: Mooooseee, ouch

I'd probably say Ole Miss. Rebels, please correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think y'all have a sport that y'all just dominate. They are just mediocre at everything.

Bama is more relevant than UF in baseball, and historically basketball (UF wasn't isht before the 90s). Softball is another one.

I'm pretty sure BAMA Softball is ranked #1 every year.

Always win the SEC in tennis if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, we're pretty mediocre across the board unless we are having a really good baseball season.

Right now it's Ole Miss. They suck at football and basketball, decent at baseball but can't get over the hump to make it to Omaha.

Is this a flame or are you serious?

It's on the downill for sure, but we are still a bubble team. That's more than most of the SEC can say.

Ole Miss was the only SEC school to miss the post season in football, basketball, and baseball last year if I remember correctly.

What a dumb arse thread. So why isn't UK awesome in football? I mean, they have a great Bball program, so they should be awesome in other sports, right? Whats up with Duke, and UNC's football team? What pieces of shite sports programs.

We just one the National championship in gymnastics last year. Our softball program is easily top 3 in the country. Also, our golf programs are outstanding. baseball is hit or miss but we have been very successful in the past. Nice attempt at a flame tho!

WTF is up with your obsession over Alabama? I mean its not even a beef with the University of Alabama but with the state as a whole.

You just butthurt over us ruining Tebow's last season? Or did Rolando Mcclain sleep with your wife?

You forfeited you're question with "your own" answer. How does

equate to an overall shitty sports program? Flaming for the sake of flaming is fine, but if you're serious in thinking that Alabama is some terrible program because we're not dominant in all sports at one time all the time, then I don't know what to tell you. You're either jealous, obsessed, or you just really wanted to try and attack Alabama. Otherwise you would have included the rest of the SEC. What is Florida hanging it's hat on lately?

Have you seen A&M's dominance in non-revenue sports? I'm pretty sure our tennis budget dwarfs the rest of the country.

Missouri and Ole Miss are the only SEC schools without a major bowl appearance, CWS appearance, or final four in the last 35 years. It's a tossup between those two.

A reasonable mind would choose Arkansas.

Currently I think it's a wash between Tennessee and Ole Miss.

Football: Ole Miss is horrible, and UT sucks. Advantage: UT.

Basketball: about even, both at 5-5 in conference right now.
Advantage: Even.

Baseball: Ole Miss could be pretty good this year, could be mediocre, but either way they're better than UT.
Advantage: Ole Miss
