*** Official Fire Anthony Grant Part Deux ***
So Battle and not Grant should be getting the blame?





What Blame??? We are a football school that is trying to compete in roundball. God forbid that we give the program a little more breathing room than football.

There are numerous football schools that field good basketball teams year in and year out and do not accept consistent mediocrity. It's never going to get better if the fanbase and administration is OK with mediocrity.

When you think about the resources the University of Alabama has, there is no logical excuse that they shouldn't be able to put a very competitive team on the court. Wichita, Butler, VCU, Gonzaga...these schools all have a better basketball program than alabama with 1/10 of the budget and resources. We've signed numerous top 100 players over the years, butler and VCU and Wichita sign leftovers, yet look at the finished product. They have basketball teams and we have an undisciplined playground squad. That comes down to coaching.

I'm sorry, I know next to shite about basketball and I know this excuse is complete and utter horseshite.

One word - FLORIDA.

If this "football school" can not only compete, but win national championships in golf, gymnastics, and softball we can field a fricking basketball team that could play with a pulse.

Nobody is asking for Bama to become Duke but I don't think it's too much to ask that we not shite the bed game after game.
