It's all about using perspective to destroy your weak arse troll. I'm not suggesting softball or gymnastics are wildly popular sports. I'm just saying in comparison to swimming and diving they are. Softball gets as much (or more) coverage on ESPN than college baseball does. Gymnastics gets more than swimming and diving and just to put gymnastics in perspective, at least 3 SEC schools have drawn bigger crowds for a gymnastics meet than Auburn has ever drawn for their biggest basketball game. Let THAT humiliating stat sink in for a minute. Multiple gymnastics programs in the SEC out draw Auburn men's basketball. Talk about embarrassing. As for golf, completely laughable to try and put swimming and diving in the same universe with it in popularity.

The bottom line is most SEC schools with give up 10 swimming and diving national titles for just 2 national titles in softball, gymnastics, or golf.

One trick pony finished #25 in the country in the Director's Cup last year, ahead of Auburn, as usual.

When 15,000 start showing up for swimming meets at Auburn we will let you brag about it.

- Phan thread about how Bama sucks in non-football sports
- responses mentioning non-football sports Alabama has been very good at
- Phan response that those don't count because nobody pays attention to them or goes to games, itso facto only football matters


This is peak Phan

Phan was pretty equal in his hate for Bama and UGA, so this might not be him.

if gymnastics is a major sport, why do half of SEC schools not even have a team?

I think they are still pretty crowded. I've been to a couple, but it was back in the heyday.
