Making the final 4 and claiming it as an achievement is worse than Alabama claiming the 1941 national title
Now that’s the ultimate in pure delusion. Not one single fan, from any fan base, would take a conference tournament championship over going to a Final Four.

Pathetically, Arkansas is 1-6 in the championship game.

I doubt he even cares that he's saying if Bama makes the Final Four this year but doesn't win it all then they have achieved nothing.
This is what trolling 24/7/365 does to your brain.
ETA: Love all the downvotes from the Bama fans. Sensitive bunch, they are.

Saying making the final 4 isn’t an achievement is funny enough
Saying it’s worse than their AP 20th-ranked title claim that came 4 decades later is borderline hilarious
Leave it to a bama hoops fan to say a final 4 isn’t a big deal

We will all be dead when Bama makes final 4

Pathetic is correct.

But it's not an achievement worth noting so would we even notice?

Downgrading final fours makes no sense to me other than we don't have any so it's some sort of instinctual response.

IMO the celebrating Final Four discussion tends to separate long time basketball fans from newer ones.

Gee, I can't imagine why you drew the line at 40 years.

You don't live to troll so it shouldn't make any sense.

Damn, LSU with 0. I thought they would have at least won 1 in 40 years.

I just found the OP's not-so-subtle line in the sand amusing but not nearly as amusing as the follow up assertion that Final Fours aren't even a noteworthy achievement.
Bama has had a terrific season so far. Could end up with cutting down nets in the regional final and even more. But ain't nobody gonna lie down and just let them waltz to the Final Four as Kentucky fans well know.

There were a few Bama fans who argued this a couple of weeks ago (that Final Fours shouldn’t be celebrated). And it was just as silly then. I don’t know a Final Four team, blue blood or not, who doesn’t celebrate them.

And I guarantee there will be at least a banner hung in Tuscaloosa if they make a Final Four and it will be widely celebrated if it happens. As it should be.

Yeah, I can't imagine there is any school in America that doesn't have a banner hanging from the rafters for any Final Fours their men's and women's shooty hoops teams have been to.

I know we put the 2nd place playoff trophy in the dining hall so we wouldn't forget. I'm sure it would take a forensic scientist to find it today.
What does that tell you?

That there’s a distinct different in CFB measures of success (particularly for a traditional school) and CBB success. It’s an apples and oranges comparison.
There’s absolutely no way you don’t celebrate a Final Four if you get one. Y’all acting like you won’t is just silly.

UNC, Duke, Kentucky, and UCLA all hang banners for Final Fours. Those are the top 4 teams in terms of most Final Fours historically.
Some Bama fans acting like they’d be above celebrating a Final Four is chuckle worthy.

I thought Kentucky was Alabama in basketball. Do you mean 2nd place is good enough?
