LSU Regional Games most watched Regional games on record

Everyone loses when LSU doesn't make it to Omaha.

Was wondering if that would be the case while watching that huge game 7.

Figures. No bigger brand in college baseball

I'm not surprised that the UNC/LSU and A&M/UT games are 1 & 2. I am surprised that the LSU/Wofford game got that many viewers. That is really impressive.

To me, the more remarkable number is the viewership for the Wofford game when compared to Texas v. A&M.

Only 12k less people watched that game despite the fact:

1. Texas and Texas A&M are huge schools, with huge alumni bases, located in a state with nearly 6x the population of Louisiana

2. That game started at 8:00 pm (CDT) on a Saturday compared to LSU v. Wofford which was at 11:00 am (CDT) on a Friday

Given the relatively small alumni base of Wofford, coupled with almost assuredly a very small brand recognition outside the state of South Carolina, you have to imagine somewhere in the range of 75%, 80%, maybe even 90% of the 678k who tuned in were LSU fans. That means almost as many LSU fans tuned in to watch a mid-day, weekday, game than Texas/Texas A&M fans COMBINED tuned in to watch a weekend prime time game.

If there was ever any doubt before, I think you can firmly say NO fanbase has greater interest in college baseball than LSU. And the numbers may not even be that close.

EDT: I would sell hell out of that on the recruiting trail by framing it as only Major League Baseball teams have greater fan interest than LSU baseball.

Probably the reason all our games were on ESPN instead of +.
I suspected that when I saw the schedule.

FTR AM/UT was #3. The two most watched games were LSU/UNC. Considering we played them 3 times I’m guessing the 3rd game was streaming only (game 6)? That’s the only reason I can think of that LSU/UNC weren’t #1,2 and 3 most watched games.

Been saying for years this is why LSU should always be on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or SEC Network in the regionals and super regionals. They should never solely be on ESPN+. If they are, then the people programming this thing aren't paying attention.

Wow, great numbers for our games

Kind of surprised LSU’s game6 isn’t up there… was that game on ESPNU, I can’t remember?

I think throughout espn/abc platform, more college games should be shown. Game of the week type. Wish college baseballs popularity was high enough. I know it’s better than the 80s early 90s.
