Turns out they couldn't, their response: Lsu did not offer the baseball game on Saturday on their network they sent Womens basketball instead.

Women's basketball.
Ya.
Almost as exciting as gymnastics.


LSU should know it's football first, baseball and then men's basketBall when it comes to fan interest.

25,000 attendees at the last two gymnastic meets might not agree.

Are a bunch of women and kids listening to gymnastics on the radio? Because I guarantee 99% of men aren't listening on the radio since they can't see the girls in their spandex.

Great weekend for LSU sports all around. If they win they will come, no matter the sport.

How does gymnastics translate to the radio?

I know baseball historically is a radio friendly sport.

I've always thought the same thing. Why the F**k would they not broadcast LSU baseball on WWL?? Early season or not...do they not know how many people are listening? Especially since LSU blacks out all Internet radio

You first have to know about the "Progressive" politics behind the scene at WWL! I never buy any that they advertise because of this...jmho

Thank you. I also respect you and know that we both bleed purple and gold. Neither gender nor sport matter if they have LSU on their jersey or leotard.

to my knowledge, they haven't aired a single baseball game yet this season. being in NOLA and listening to 100.7 doesn't really work.

would love it if WWL aired games some time soon...

they aired games that didn't conflict with the men's or women's basketball. It is ridiculous, but it's been this way for a hundred years.


I would love to know the on air ratings of a women's hoops game, tourney or not, vs any baseball game. Also, 1350 picks up baseball sometimes, but not with any consistency.
