I like hockey too, but it's no replacement for the all-American sport of basketball. That's my one complaint about the SEC, at least those schools south of the Tennessee border, they just have never taken basketball seriously. Kentucky draws 24K a game, Tennessee close to 20K a game and Vandy regularly over 10K, but the rest of the conference is pretty pitiful. And while football in the fall is great, nothing is more sad and tiresome than wasting basketball season after the bowl games obsessing about football.
Well, Col.
I’m a Tennessee alum...I agree with that, but don’t forget those “damn” Gators....Won back-to-back NCAA titles in basketball....
I forgot Arkansas. They take their basketball seriously also.
Make both teams run around the building for 45 minutes; Make 3 of them sit out; let them play for 5 minutes; most points wins.
When I was at Bama, basketball games were regularly sold out. Wimp was coach, and he had James Robinson, Latrell Sprewell, and Robert Horry on the same team. I went to basketball games, football games, and gymnastics meets. Oh, I went to some track meets as well to see a good friend compete. I’m sure if we lived close, we would go to softball games now that Bama has a softball program.
Will the WSJ do a story on how women’s gymnastics is biggest in the SEC?????????
