1 football title for 10 baseball titles.


Most feel this way, but it is sad you expressed it.

Man, Alabama fans are really bothered by this Vanderbilt title. It's not anyone else's fault that Bama sucks in every sport other than football.

Football*
Softball*
Gymnastics*
Women's Golf*
Men's Golf*
Men's Track
Women's Track
Men's Swimming

* at least 1 national title since 2012

All have either won national titles or finished in the Top 8 in the last 7 years.

BAMMER AINT WIN NUTHIN BUT FOOSEBALL AND DYKEBALL.

It's just dumb. Again, Alabama has finished ahead of Auburn in the Director's Cup for 11 of the last 12 years. The Director's Cup is literally the standings of "good at all the sports".

I was looking for your reply and you didn't let me down. That's what I like about you. You want football prosperity and would consider selling you mom for a football title

I dont care for the argument, but take away football and where does Bama stand in the directors cup? that would prove the point being made by either side

If you take away football from both sides? Probably relatively similar, though a bit closer.

Certainly not going to tank Alabama given the titles and Top 10 finishes in a plethora of other sports mentioned above.

There is nothing more intellectually asinine than arguing that a college athletic program stinks at everything except football............and then belittling and acting like all the other sports don't matter.

Like, the fvck are you even arguing about?

You : ALABAMA'S ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT IS LITERALLY JUST FOOTBALL

Me : Alabama is actually nationally elite at these 10 sports

You : LOL WHO GIVES A SHITE ABOUT THE OTHER SPORTS THAT MAKE UP YOUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT THEY DON'T MATTER

Well yeah, you cant award points for one side and take away for the other in a comparison stat like this as it wouldnt be apples to apples

wont tank them, but it certainly props them up significantly

Sure, as have Mens/Womens Golf, Gymnastics, Softball and a few other consistently elite sports for the last 10 years.

We are going to finish around #30 this year because Mens and Womens Golf had an uncharacteristically average year compared to finishing in the Top 5 pretty much every year since 2010.

Not sure about baseball vs football

But IMO a T&F title is worth about 5-10 Football titles.....roughly

Exactly. Just because fewer people watch does not make the accomplishments of the athlete inferior.
