No, screw you buddy.

Much more NATIONAL EXPOSURE in Basketball.There are many many major populated cities who don't realize college baseball is even played.No Brainer............well that explains the baseball picks.

Basketball, as a sport, sucks.

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.

I could never trade the 2000 title. Ever.

I can understand that. Everyone has their own special sports memories and attachments to them.

I could trade that one though, and would,for a basketball title. In fact as I said, I'd trade all but the Morris homer. That's how much a hoops title would mean to me, and I think it would mean so much more for LSU as a whole.

That Morris one is an exception in that it is one that is still replayed and brings LSU as much recognition as a college baseball title can relatively speaking.

Of course these are all silly hypotheticals and if taken that way no reason to be upset by anyone's take, unless one trys to go elsewhere with it as is sometimes the case.

I arrived at LSU in 1989. We had just come off a Final Four and Elite 8, CJ was lighting it up and Shaq and Stanley Roberts had landed on campus. I grew up on LSU basketball just like LSU football so I'm right there with you on wanting a hoops title.

The 2000 baseball team was just one of my absolute favorite teams in any sport. The quality of the young men on that team makes them stand out for me.
