It's the barometer of a good single-season run.

When you start to talk about multiple final fours over several decades, sure, we can talk about said program being elite.

But these "muh basketball program is better than yours because we got one round further one year than yours ever has in a single-elimination tourney!!" posts get a bit annoying. No one would claim Georgia and Mississippi State have better basketball programs than Alabama and Tennessee, but troll on, I guess

This seems rather melty. But I don’t know why the topic is being proposed.

I think a better measure of a basketball program’s strength is what % of the fanbase misses their weekend visits with their stepkids and their parole officers because they’re misty-eyed that tom petty passed away.

Why would LSU fans be angry?

You basically called LSU elite, while calling out Auburn. I'll allow it.

ETA: I misread. You were implying that LSU fans are angry about Auburn claiming greatness. shite, let them have their fun.

Mississippi State's basketball program is better than Alabama's. Not sure why you would claim otherwise.

WTF?

Is this some Mizzou alter?

Congrats to Auburn for their Final Four membership.

5 Tiger teams from the west have now been.

Sorry if I missed any other Tiger teams who have yet to reach a Final Four.

Revealing that I'm actually a Mizzou alter after 11k+ posts would be quite the turn

I'm very happy today but I have been told that I have a confrontational writing style!

Most of us are just alters of Randy, so there is that possibility.

11K post would be just getting warmed up for some of the alters on here.

Randy was a weird dude. Is he still here under a different name?

Many UF fans try to claim they're a better football program than UGA because they have 1 more title than us.

1980 vs 1996, 2006, 2008?

Lol at “claiming” 1942.

I'm not sure waht's funny about it, it's quite legitimate. If I played the bama game we could claim 27, 46, and 68 as well but we don't.
