Did anyone bite? It's a dumb troll thread. Considering Bama's rank in those same sports.

Give me a good football team and I'm happy. Everything else is just icing on the cake after that.

And let's not act like anyone really gives a shite about any sport but Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Which Bama hasn't really been worth a damn in any of those besides Football lately either.

Even football ,if it was not for cheating and getting lucky they would not have anything at all in their athletic department

Nobody gives a shite about baseball. Hell even ESPN doesn't think enough of it to put scores on the front page.

Unfortunately, family was spread out this holiday weekend. I have no Auburn fans in my family. Lots of close friends that are Auburn fans but no Auburn family members.

As for my OP, the sheer number of threads by Auburn fans about Alabama football made me wonder why theyou have such an obsession with Alabama football and Auburn football and nothing else. My careful contemplation of this question made me look at what Auburn sports has going on outside of football which led to my question.

Alabama has a much better basketball history than Auburn and the baseball makes the NCAA field every year with very few exceptions unlike Auburn. Heck, Auburn baseball can't even make the SEC tourney most years much less the NCAA tournament.

This reminds me of everybody getting their last licks in on Tennessee football cause they know things are about to cycle back.

Something about youthful, unbridled optimism is adorable and refreshing. Illogical, but refreshing nonetheless.

No one cares about anything but Football. The only reason to bring up other sports is if you win a NC in it. The other ones who do it are only doing it to try to show up someone who beat them in football.

Not true. Winning or losing in football has nothing to do with it. I despise the "football is all that matters" attitude that is so prevalent among fellow Bama fans so I've always hated that attitude.

I specifically stated that Auburn used to be good at baseball so I don't know how mentioning players from 20 and 30 years ago is relevant!!

At the end of the day, "show me the money!"

Football matters. It is the goose laying golden eggs. Success in any other sport, except maybe men's basketball, is just gravy.

SECCG tickets for FB routinely get 400 bucks on stubhub. How much does a non-KY SEC tournament BB game get? How much for women's gymnastics? Baseball?

Alabama has won 1 regular season SEC championship in men's basketball since 1987. Alabama has never won a regular season SEC championship in women's basketball in their entire history. You also have to go back to the late 1990's to find the last time Alabama made it to the College World Series in baseball

Alabama had never won a national championship in any sport outside of football and women's gymnastics up until two or three years ago. I guess since they have now won national championships in sports like golf and women's softball some of their fans think they are an athletic powerhouse
