LOL! The U of A best not bring in a Wade or Pearl type that will draw scrutiny from the NCAA. It's not worth it. We have too much to lose and most Bama fans feel the same way. Win some games but don't do anything to drag the dept into the spot light. And you can't win big time without cheating or at least an SEC team can't.

Son, I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa


I may not have been old enough to be jamming back in the 50s but I remember where Wimp Sandersons house was in Crown Pointe. I was a kid back then, but old enough to remember our level of commitment to hoops as a university town since that era.

My point is that unless we have a wicked recruiting class and a number of (pun intended) balls bounce our way, we won't make ANY habit out of selling it out. Our current enrollment increase even since 2007+ is going to help a lot over time.

What we have going for us is that WHEN things are good, people will get out of their houses a time or two per season to go check out the scene due to having little to do here otherwise. If we can be consistent for longer than half a season... and if we could put a few seasons that end well together consistently, we have the ability to be a household name in that sport. We just aren't there yet.

Wrong.

21-0 will forever be Tier 1.
92 TOTAL yards of offense.
5 TOTAL first downs.
In your home state.
The first of EIGHT in a row - and that number is still growing.

I thought most Bama fans didn't care about other sports?

Also, Alabama has outdrawn LSU for a decade now, so what basketball team do LSU football fans cheer for?



You know what he means. National brand sports fans. They act like they are die hards. But their favorite teams are the Tide, Duke, Warriors, Patriots, and the Yankees.

Another example of what you guys wish would be reality, yet is do far from it.

I want SEC teams to dominate in the tournament

That still doesn’t explain why Alabama has higher basketball attendance than LSU every year. Despite Baton Rouge being almost 3 times as large as Tuscaloosa

This is by far the best post on the board right now and so true. LMAO!

Gotta feel bad for them at this point.

- Clemson game
- Sark hired as OC
- Swept by LSU/Aub/UT
- LSU wins SEC title
- Aub wins SEC tourney
- First team out of the tourney
- Norfolk State beats them as 17 pt fav
- LSU/Aub/UT all in the Sweet 16

What a year for Bama fans. Wow.

Wrong

44-16 is Tier 1

Cause William said so.

And 44-16 just has a nice ring to it.

44-16

Bama fans are like UGA fans. They don't give many shites about CBB. Neither do most fans, really, CBB is just a distraction for most fans until CFB season. UK, Vandy and Mizzou might be exceptions (TN might pretend), but most SEC fan bases don't really give a shite about CBB. CFB is the only SEC sport that really matters.

I thinks it's funny that you think 10% of Alabama fans care about basketball enough to watch other teams.
