Tell me, who many sports does someone need to follow to be a "real fan"?
Is it certain ones? Do you have to enjoy them, or does being miserable during the entire broadcast/event make you that much more of a fan? Do you get bonus points if you whip yourself across the back after every loss? Please let me know, I'm curious as to how much more effort I'm going to need to become a "real fan". Also, does it help with dick size, or does the false sense of accomplishment just make you forget about it?

Come at me bitch

Wow... I really don’t want to say that this escalated quickly but

I hate to give Pat Dye credit but he was absolutely right when he said Alabama fans care about Alabama Football.

Idiots like you is why we don’t have a new basketball arena and won’t even have a renovated arena for another 5 years(And have to beg to get that) Meanwhile ain’t a damn thing wrong with BDS but they l pour $100M into it no problem. WE PLAY MORE THAN 1 SPORT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, support them all the same and give them all the necessary funding to be successful

People laugh at us because 90% of our fan base cares about nothing but football, Fake arse Fans.

Every other Athletic department is lapping/embarrassing us because our fans and boosters only care about Football.

If you think football takes away from basketball, then you're the fricking idiot.

Go take a second "real fan" to educate your ignorant self on how things are paid for. Go find out that it's because of football that all those other sports get paid for.

And the benefits of football program being what it is has gone well beyond the AD. Alabama since Saban and the current dynasty has started the entire school has felt and uplifting. It's been quoted as being one of the best investments the school has made.

But dumbasses like you seem to act like basketball is bringing in money and football is taking it. You know what you'll get without "people like me"? Nothing in basketball and even less for football.

All because you can't deal with the reality that it's not the stadium that's prevent Alabama from winning more in other sports.

And how long have you been a fan if you think they are laughing at Alabama for these reasons? You know what really fricking sucked? When they were laughing at us for losing 6 in a row. Those were the glory basketball and baseball days right? No? You mean they aren't so fricking linked as your dumbass seems to think?

So maybe spend less time thinking watching more sports somehow makes you better and enjoy what you got you ungrateful little prick.

The fact you even say "FOG" pretty much means you can suck a dick as far as I'm concerned.

But hey, go ahead and pretend that following more sports somehow makes you better. Because you need that apparently.

---

You can follow whatever sports you want. That's your call. Just don't come into a thread clearly about other sports and start telling everyone else what sports do and don't matter.

Its pretty simple.

He thinks Alabama should be ranked higher, what a travesty...

That's not what he said 3rd

This thread sure did take an unexpected turn.

quote:

More idiotic is treating football and track and field as equals.

And putting Bama that high ignores everything but football. Basketball is mediocre at best and baseball is down right embarrassing. Bama should be around 40 at best. Without football they would be about 70 and close to the bottom of the sec.

Not really.

Can we re-rank by revenue sports?

Hmmm... You’re 100% correct Football is the main source of income at every SEC school, but that sure didn’t stop places like Auburn and Ole Miss from spending that money to get a new basketball arena. Why?? Because they care about every sport.

And basketball makes money too. Not near as much as football but I guarantee build a new arena and the ROI would be well worth it

How much better did we get at baseball after spending $30 million upgrading the stadium? That's 1/3rd the spending as the proposed project for Bryant Denny for less than 10% of the seating capacity.

Find a good coach who can elevate the team to the tourney every year which should be more than achievable on the current resources is the start, not just some stadium so you can rank higher on some stupid forum/article clickbait list.

Seems like they are on the right track to me. If/when a coach does that, then the upgrades and everything else would come.
