re: Brown's baseball coach comments on playing @ LSU this weekend

I, for one, appreciate this thread for the intended message in it. The Advocate never has any interviews with the opposing team or coach (with the exception, for the first time, this past wkend, final game against M.land) The beat reporter gets his obligatory 3 quotes from LSU's stars of the game, CPM's wrapup comments, and that's it. It has nothing to do with wanting to hear pats on the back from opposing teams. I just enjoy hearing what college baseball players from around the country have to say. That it is almost always a positive bout LSU in some form or fashion...I just don't see any harm in it. The whole SEC fan base uniformly rips LSU every chance it gets. Why is any positive press a bad thing? Here, the negatators feel its done expressly so some LSU fans can feel bout themselves. In the real world...or it used to be,anyway, it used to be a matter of showing class. NO. I don't applaud opposing players in either college football or basketball. It's just a baseball thing that has been going on for decades, major & collegiate leagues. OP, thank you for the totally positive post.
