re: Basketball Attendance

We have no basketball tradition. Why? The answer probably has more to do with focus than anything. Football is obviously the most popular sport in the state of Georgia and the recruiting numbers support this. As a result, football is the cash cow for UGA so it's what our admins focus on. Basketball is just not nearly as popular in the state of Georgia as football.

UGA has probably the second best tradition in the SEC for WCBB but the Dawgs have never supported them winning. Can you imagine Alabama not funding gymnastics just because it is not football. On the MCBB side GA is full of talent which is why all the other SEC schools raid it so hard. If the native Dawgs had actually supported the men all these years they would have the history you say they do not. That is the direct fault of the UGA fans.

Make fun of gumps all you want but they do attend / support other sports besides football.
