If you had to assign percentages to your favorite sports at LSU, what would it be?

Football - 92%
Baseball - 6%
Basketball - 2%

What's yours? Try not to let whatever current time is effect your opinion, think over a span of years, like if I asked this in June, I'd get a lot different answers than today with the CWS.

There's just nothing that comes even remotely close to football, sorry baseball. It's just not the same.

Something like this and it moves more towards baseball every year as I get older

It varies according to how well they're doing, TBH.

Football - 25%
Baseball - 74%
The rest - 1% (maybe too generous?)

CFB is hardly the same game I grew up with 5+ decades ago. Other than OT, every change has been for the worse.

OTOH, college baseball is getting better and better.

Football 53%
Baseball 28%
Men's bb 07%
Women bb 07%
Gymnast 05%

Others factor in golf, swimming, track and field but for a 50,000' overview simple dirty math. Flawed yes. But proportionately weighted fb highest baseball next old days slam dunk men's basketball ball bit this is a snapshot not a cumulative perspective.
Ladies brought home the natty !!!!! I'm weighting the men equally because I have hope for a future. Gymnastics....should be higher, selling out the pmac and routinely competing at the highest level. Just can't justify personally placing above where they are.

It's really all about the person. Some people just don't get into baseball. Some don't get into basketball.

I love watching LSU baseball almost as much as I love watching football. Two completely different sports but the highs and lows are there. It's what makes it fun.


I'm not a big basketball person but many are so again, it depends on the person.

Football is the money maker though but Jay has been killing it on recruiting with baseball and with the championship, that will draw more viewers.

In the 80s and early 90s I was very excited to see the athletes we had on our basketball team compete. Don Redden, Taylor, Blanton, Nikita ,Jose vargas, John Williams CJ Shaq, etc...but it's far from that now

I can't put a percentage on it, I can only tier it

1. Football
2. Mens Hoops
3. Baseball
4. Womens Hoops
5. Softball

The rest is about equal but I do try to keep up with gym and track as much as I can.

No other sport has what that lsu vs wake Forrest baseball game had. Every pitch mattered. Football and basketball can’t compare to that.

Burrow vs Lawrence had the potential to be great and they both ended up being #1 overall picks in different drafts. I'd say that's pretty damn comparable.

Lawrence was way off his game though that night. They had a good first few drives but after that he was air mailing throws and fumbling on scrambles. Lawrence definitely had a rare panicky night at the worst time and it wasn't like he hadn't been on that stage before since they blew out Bama just the year before. I wasn't complaining as an LSU fan but the neutral CFB fan in me couldn't help but notice he was way off. Not that it would have mattered because after the first couple of series Burrow was just picking them left from right and there was nothing Clemson could do.

Mine is close to this, but all men's. I don't follow any of the women's sports at all.
