For me. It’s impossible to assign a %. I’m a Louisiana kid grew up watching and going to games.

Went to LSU and am an alum so I while I was there I went to tons of games minor sports as well.

Football, Basketball, Baseball ticket holder. Take grandkids to Women’s games gymnastics, soccer too.

Now I don’t schedule vacations around T&F or Beach Volleyball but if they are on TV I’ll watch or record and at least check results.

Favorite? Is probably football mostly because of the memories have been to games in every decade since the late 1960’s and witnessed championships in person and seen countless individual performances I’ll never forget.

Basketball if you weren’t around for Pete or when Dale Brown got us in the tournament and then to Final Fours you really missed something.

Same for Baseball if you went to games before Skip and to be able to see championships until this very year with Jay to become the elite in a sport is special.

Maybe growing up near Tiger Stadium and campus makes it harder for to put a % on it.

I can say LSU sports has been a huge part of my recreation and fun time since I was a child.

And graduating from LSU I take pride in our sports teams and success.

I guess I’d just say LSU sports all of them have added a certain something fun in my life and leave at that and not assign a % to a sport.

Somehow I feel like you never went to LSU. I may be wrong though

Football 14%

Really enjoy that baseball isn't about perfection in W/L. Have a bad game or few bad games and you are still in the hunt.
In football lose one game and your season can be over. One bad game and sorry Charlie.

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

I agree it’s not the same but man I would have to say that whatever sport is in season would rank near the top
Football
Baseball
Gymnastics
Women’s Basketball

I like watching Men’s Basketball but I have lost putting it as a priority until they can start having a team that fights for championships every year
While I will watch other LSU sports. They are just not the same

Football is lowering because of recruiting today and the attention these
Kids want.

Baseball recruiting is so much more pure.

Basketball is at an all time low. I’m more interested in women’s basketball

Mine is 50-50 football and baseball. I’m always happy when other sports win, but I’m not going to change my day or weekend around to watch any of them like I will for baseball or football. Can’t even tell you the last time I watched a men’s basketball game. I bet it was before the pandemic. I don’t watch gymnastics and outside of the women’s national championship game, I hadn’t watch a women’s game since Fowles was here.

Football - 50%
Men's basketball 40%
Baseball 10%

The rest - I want us to win in every sport but the passion doesn't register unless we are at the podium.
