'm not comparing it to the pros, just said could you imagine if a mlb team started off that well, and only used it cause only mlb baseball plays so many games in a year to reference it to. I just don't think all that many people really realize just how many games we have won and how few we have lost since that great 23 game winning streak back in 08' Just wanted to point it out, and how pretty damn incredible what Manieri and the boys have been doing is!
I understand your passion and agree with your assessment of PM and the boy's performance over the last 140 games. It's incredibly impressive. But i think you would have been better served if you would have just posted the next best record over the past 140 games in college. I know that might take a little research...but that would probably be more impressive.

Do you seriously think LSU gets the TV deal all to itself??? It's split up amongst all of the SEC, and exactly how many times was the basketball team on national TV this year? About 5 right?
Baseball team has already been on ESPNu twice(will make it a third time Friday) and then you have the potential super regional and CWS broadcasts.
none of that matters. its regular season deal for the conference. we make the same amount off that as Kentucky and Tennessee.

Exposure matters buddy and the baseball team is getting more of that than the basketball team.

What's TJ's salary and what's PM's salary? That will tell you alot right there.

Obviously the Tv deals make basketball make more money than baseball, however, regardless the frick of that, Baseball damn sure outdraws basketball, and a hell of a lot more people around here care about baseball than basketball. No shite about the money from tv contracts and all of that, but basketball can't touch baseball here buddy, as far as atmosphere, success, and just a hell of a lot more fun, and THAT is a FACT!

so are we talking exposure or which program is more valuable in terms of money like we started. Keep trying to crawfish out man. You're showing your intelligence.

Or maybe you are just highlighting your ignorance?
And if you don't money and exposure don't correlate then there really is no hope for you.

YEAH BRO YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT!!!1 But that isn't what tmon was trying to prove. We're talking about making money.

Now i'm talking strictly popularity and what's better for the athletic administration...that factors in everything.
You immediately went to the monetary gains argument.

You didn't even know how the TV deal works and I just schooled you on it and you flip flopped what you were talking about to exposure.

It's easy to say that after an undermanned basketball team struggled mightily this year and the baseball team is coming off a NC and is 32-6. But if the great players coming in for Trent get the basketball team on a roll and make alot of noise....well...

obviously baseball is more popular. They have won 6 NCs in recent memory.

a highly successful basketball program would bring in more money and national exposure. that is technically better for the athletic department. I don't see how that is arguable.

When did I ever say I didn't know how the tv deal works? I just insinuated that you thought the LSU basketball team had a TV deal all to it's own...you are making shite up now.
The fact of the matter is the SEC as a whole has a major media deal and football basketball baseball and other sports are represented.

he originally said baseball has been outdrawing basketball
dont know where the TV deal fits in, but of course CBB is bigger than baseball
but its not at LSU. LSU basketball following is a joke compared to other big schools. i think that was his point

he started flipping out because I said comparing LSU's 140 game record to a MLB team's is a ridiculous comparison then he started freaking out about how much better a successful baseball team is for the AD than a basketball program... I informed him the hoops program already gets more in revenue than the baseball team simply because of the TV deal. He seems to think I'm some huge baseball hater because in some dome hypothetical thread someone started they asked how many baseball titles I'd trade for a basketball one and I said however many.

It is arguable because though the basketball team has made runs they have never been consistent and with the one and done format in the tourney, it's hard for anyone to build a multi-title dynasty as opposed to the double elimination format in baseball where the best teams will always rise at the end.
LSU baseball has established themselves as a formidable power and will likely stay that way. The basketball team hasn't gotten to that point yet and probably never will.
LSU is more synonymous with baseball than it is with basketball.
Anyways, baseball and basketball success won't matter if there is no football program, LSU is a football program first.

Just for the hell of it, what was the average amount of tickets sold in 06 Final Four year. Doubt it was what it is at the Box. ut I like Trent Johnson, and think he will do well, and I used to love LSU bball, but it will never overtake baseball here again though I just don't think. But I hope it starts to go great starting next year though. Plus Brady was never gonna draw well here!

you started talking about how few times LSU basketball was on TV and how many LSU baseball is when in reality, the number of times doesn't mean shite because when it comes to TV we are making just as much as Kentucky is in basketball and as much as Tennessee is in baseball.

It's all about what have you done for me lately. If the basketball team makes a run for the title..even just getting to the final four...and the baseball team is in the CWS...basketball will be a bigger draw...IE more LSU fans would attend and/or watch the final four than the CWS...IMHO
