re: What will its take for basketball to become more popular than baseball?

When both sports are elite basketball is significantly more popular than baseball at LSU. I've been around to see it, I have no idea if you're old enough to remember when Dale had us ROLLING most years. Hell, there were a handful of years when curley/archer was here, that the fanbase was more into basketball than FOOTBALL.

Because we were the Duke of baseball, and our basketball has been mediocre at best over the last 25+ years, baseball has been more popular at LSU than basketball.

In the U.S. as a whole, the interest in college baseball isn't a pimple on the arse of college basketball. I don't understand how this is debatable.
