First off...let me get this out the way...I love baseball....it's a great sport.

But...There have been MANY on here the claim college baseball is 2nd..or at least a close 2nd...to the most popular sport in college....because....."basketball sucks"......


if college baseball is so popular...then why is it everyone cares of UCONN...or even UCLA...and their attednace?

like I said..Tiger Nation will go everywhere....but I hope people that complain about attendance...will see.....that

College basketball championship>>>>>>>> College baseball championship

I agree with you. If LSU had the same success in basketball as in baseball, it would be reversed. March Madness is a nationwide phenomenon. College baseball is a blip on the radar until the CWS.

I've never seen anyone make that claim but it is pretty ignorant if they did.

might want to use the td google....you'll be surprised...many many, on this baord..claim..nationally..that baseball is the 2nd most important....even whe numbers are provided to prove other wise.
As most many say..."No one cares about basketball:

and Josh.....gfy...we have a ton of crawfish and you refuse to come grab some.

I wouldn't be surprised if college soccer brings in more than college baseball.

Dude is probably confusing people who say that baseball is THEIR second favorite college sport. That's definitely true for me, but I know that basketball is the second most popular sport nationally and it's not even close. Think this is a straw
man argument.

very, very few believe that.

You seem like one of those guys who hears one or two say something and assume it is a prevalent opinion.
