Believe me when I say that plenty of LSU fans live in a bubble regarding this very conversation.

This. I can probably count on less than 2 hands the number of college fanbases that really, truly give a shite about baseball. And I am talking about the whole season...not just post-season time when the bandwagon gets fuller for teams who host regionals and super-regionals.


A few years back, I happened to be in Chapel Hill and decided to take in a UNC baseball game. They were ranked in the top 5 at the time, it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, they were playing a ranked conference opponent (Virginia, I think) and there were maybe 1500 people there. And the stadium was pretty nice...it had just been remodeled I think and seated somewhere around 4000. I was stunned that the place wasn't full and in chatting with a few locals, I learned that no matter how good the team was, they just weren't going to fill the stadium and that lacrosse was actually a bigger deal to their general fan base than baseball.
