re: baseball vs. basketball

Basketball....Not only because we've never done it but also because it's a better sport.

I like baseball, but I like basketball better. That's just me, so my vote's easily hoops for selfish reasons.

I'd bet that's not the case though with the majority of passionate LSU fans.

However, if one really would put what's in the best interest of LSU...winning a national title in hoops does way more to help brand recognition which really helps the school in countless ways.

The vast majority of the country views college baseball as we did here before Skip got here...which was frankly, not that much above interest in college tennis.

The fact that, as I mentioned earlier, women's basketball's average attendance figures easily eclipse college baseball's nationwide, speaks to the impact college baseball really has.

We see the passion here for college baseball, and it is special...but it is outside a handful of schools, the exception.
