This truly is the golden age of Alabama athletics. Just look at all the accomplishments in 2012 with more to come.
So now just being "Competitive" is enough??Yep, and I'm also aware that CAG was considered good enough to replace Billy Donovan as the Gator HC when BD was gonna be the Magic coach. That was on the heels of the Gators back o back NCs.
BTW, Cag has taken us to the final game of the NIT, that's pretty competitive.
You're right and it isn't. I should of used a better word but compared to our FB program, for which the OP is seeming to do, it certainly is night and day.I don't think the men's team is dismal now.
How many basketball championships did we win in the 70s? That's my point. And success wasn't even really sustained throughout both even then.Look at Alabama in the 1970s, ok?

This is not intended as a vote on Coach Grant, but as an indictment on an AD who does very little to help our Basketball Program
It's not? I hate to see it when it is then.I don't think the men's team is dismal now.
I understand where you are coming from. I remember having great basketball and football teams when Horry was in school and Wimp the coach and Stallings with football. I'm frustrated myself.You're right and it isn't. I should of used a better word but compared to our FB program, for which the OP is seeming to do, it certainly is night and day.
i gave up long ago hoping to have ALL of our programs on top at once. It just doesn't happen. Would it be nice? Sure it would but the odds of that happening are slim to none. However we have done great in many of the other programs so I'm not sure where the OP's Mal Moore angst is coming from.
As long as our AD makes solid hires and does his part I don't have an issue. I can't blame injuries, team chemistry or the weather on Mal Moore and neither should anyone else. The man has done a lot for the University and to say he should be fired because our BB is not what we had hoped is just crazy talk IMHO.
We've taken a lot of injuries this season. This was a tournament team until the injury bug struck.It's not? I hate to see it when it is then.
Completely agreeI tend to avoid weighing in like this, but I honestly find the premise behind this thread ridiculous.
Especially when you factor in how well all of our sports teams have done within our Athletic Program as a whole..I tend to avoid weighing in like this, but I honestly find the premise behind this thread ridiculous.
I am sure Coach Moore wishes the best for UA - but I also believe he is part of that "Old School" element who thinks Basketball success can potentially be damaging to UA FootballIf you are going to come here and make a statement like this how about some specifics. What does he do or not do? I for one think Mal has been great for Alabama athletics but please enlighten us.
What? LOLI am sure Coach Moore wishes the best for UA - but I also believe he is part of that "Old School" element who thinks Basketball success can potentially be damaging to UA Football
See the Coach Sanderson years for example
That doesn't make any sense. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. I would like some more specifics though. How could our basketball program being good damage our football program?I am sure Coach Moore wishes the best for UA - but I also believe he is part of that "Old School" element who thinks Basketball success can potentially be damaging to UA Football
See the Coach Sanderson years for example
really...i can't believe you posted that!it's not? I hate to see it when it is then.
The voice of reason. Like usual.Yah, we won, what four different national championships last year?
I'm no CMM worshipper, but acting as if he's easily replaceable is a bit short-sighted, imo. Good ADs are like good FB coaches - there are very few.
