How do you feel about the status of your alma mater's athletic program?

For LSU, I'm very happy with the football program, thrilled with the women's basketball and baseball teams, patient with men's basketball team with new coach and facing Will Wade-sanctions.

How do you other SEC grads feel about your schools' programs?

Football: Never in a million years thought it could be like this for UGA

Basketball: White has really turned us around from the Crean failures and we're not a curse upon the eyes anymore. Still a lot of work needed though, but it's a start.

Baseball: One day we'll capitalize upon being in such a talent rich baseball state. Not ridiculous to expect a trip to Omaha every 3-4 years. Long time ago, but missing out on that title in 2008 still hurts.

I expect many Alabama posters in here to report on the state of athletic programs such as Tuskegee, South Alabama, West Alabama, North Alabama Trenholm technical, and GED programs

Outside of basketball I’m happy. Yeah the football season ended like shite but we still finished 8-5 in a “rebuilding year” so I can’t be too upset

Extremely pleased with not just football and basketball, but we're competing for titles in sports that we barely participated in 20 years ago. Biggest disappointment right now is gymnastics- we basically got caught sleeping there

Football: tough finish to the season, but Kiffin is doing a good job bringing in talent and I think we ought to be good in the future.

Baseball: we got the Omaha and national championship monkey off our back last year. We return some talent but will be young. It's always a grind in the SEC.

Basketball:

Missing out on those titles in 2006 and 2007 still hurts for us too. Oregon State is awful.

Football - It feels like we are coming out of a slump. We beat Clemson and crushed UT when they were talking a ton of shite on here. Its a great end to the year. We have gotten a few good 2024 commits so it feels like we are rising a bit

Basketball- God I wanted Frank gone, and we finally took the trash out. That said, its a brand new roster. It kind of sucks we don't really get to see what GG would look like with some talent around him, but I like Paris and pray he does well. This is year 0 for him in my book

Baseball- The program has slipped, but I blame Holbrook for that crap. Kingston may not be the guy, but I feel like this year has potential. We got monte lee on staff, and pulled some good transfers. Its supers or bust for me.

Womens basketball - Love this team, love our coach. Keep the train rolling. Winning is fun and I watch every game I can.

Track - We are decent usually, but I am not a huge fry fan.

softball - I think its about time for a new softball coach

Womens soccer - Love our program, Smith has done a great job creating a consistent winner. Hopefully soon we break through for a title

Mens soccer - We have a great coach, it just takes some time.

Tennis - Our programs have been pretty solid the last few years.



Overall - I am pretty happy. If Basketball can level up, and football continues to rise fans will be happy. Tanner catches some shite, but overall the program isnt bad. Our BOT is worse than Tanner could ever be but sadly that wont change

Pretty happy with our Big 3 sports now.

Also thrilled they made a change with the track coaching as well.

I would be pretty happy if I was an Aggie grad. Football was bad but at least you have hope. Basketball much improved, have to feel good about Buzz. Baseball is a top 5 team entering the season.

Football ended on a positive note. Hiring Petrino was a step in the right direction. Slight optimism.

Basketball is solid. Hoping for an NCAA bid.

Baseball looks good. Coming off a very successful season. Might take a step back but should still be competitive.

The meat judging team is dominant. Kaylee Greiner has built a powerhouse.

Ehhhh.. Football was embarrassing. About the only thing good that did happen was somehow beating LSU. This year's bowl season was a hell of a lot less fun having absolutely no skin in the game..

Excited about baseball and hope we can make another run again.

Don't follow basketball.

Football: good under Leach but TBA with all new staff. They did keep our recruiting class and current players so that’s a positive.

Basketball: started out great but have tanked in conference play. I do think we have a good coach but he has to get some better offensive players.

Baseball: Great

Women’s basketball: new coach seems good we have a solid team this year

Tennessee's entire athletic program as a whole is running like the well oiled machine Tennessee should always be within collegiate athletics.

Football looking up since we have now divested ourselves of Golding and BoB. I'm anxious to see who we hire to replace them.

Basketball is unreal good. I hope we are able to sustain it through March. Bama basketball has let me down before though so I'm trying not to get too excited about it. The real battle will be keeping Oats after the season ends because some big names are definitely going to come calling.

Baseball. I hear we have a team. I guess I hope they do well but honestly who cares about baseball?
