No, I don't mean that us playing each other makes either program relevant in the national spotlight. It makes the sport relevant to people of this state. Basketball isn't very relevant to anyone here anymore. It used to be. And no, don't give me the "But Alabama is averaging 10k fans!" line. People haven't been close to being excited for basketball in this state in nearly a decade until this past year.

That has been becuase the product at UA and AU has just sucked. As a UAB fan you should understand that. Bama has a good basketball history and yes even with a bad product on the floor averaged 10K a game last season.
