Um, no. College baseball is not a major sport like college basketball or college football.



So are you responding to the position that College Baseball is as big as College Football or College Basketball? Because no one has made that argument. Most would argue that the NCAA and ESPN aren't doing enough to help the game grow bigger, by which they acknowledge that it isn't as big as the other two sports.

"Did I ever claim them as mine? You are too dense and negative to for me to bother discussing this further. Know this, your negativity hurts nobody but yourself and your obvious cries for attention on this message board is pathetic."

And your constant use of the American Flag icon is a shameless way of trying to get people to agree with you.

Now, go put on your Toby Keith records and get ready for some baseball, boy!!!!

Some of the other people are arguing with me because they don't like you, not because they think you are wrong.

Don't let them discourage you . . . you go, Girl.

If the national media would promote it more it would draw bigger audiences. It's all about promotion and marketing, always has been always will be. People just fool themselves into thinking it's viewer driven.


nah, this is the same argument hocky fans use. viewers lead to ratings, which in turn lead to marketing. why would espn waste their time hyping something that the majority of the country isn't interested in and isn't going to watch?

A 1.5 rating. Absolutely abysmal.


Did you prove something that anyone cares about? That's the type of question you should ask yourself before biting into that baby fetus.

"No one on here said it was. But the fact that it isn't won't diminish our baseball team's accomplishments this year."


Agreed. I'd be just as proud if our women's soccer team won a national title. Both sports are largely irrelevant, but still, a national title is a national title.

Yes, college baseball is so irrelevant that you feel the constant need to come here and bash it. We get it already loser.

Golfer,

Why was college baseball not selected to be put on national television?

Keep calling me idiot. But at least make a point.

Nationally, no, it's not a major sport. But that doesn't mean it's not a major sport at LSU. It's huge. It shouldn't matter, though. I'm a huge NHL fan, and most say it's not even a major sport (the "3 major professional sports") and I'm a semi-big college lacrosse fan (which is actually bigger than most down south would think it is, but still no where near a major sport). Just because, overall, those may not be "major sports" doesn't mean I enjoy them any less.

there has been several times in my life where i discovered that nobody on the planet gave a shite about the things that were sacred to me.

that doesn't make them any less special.

college sports are important to me and they will forever take a back seat to professional sports...jesus, there was even manny ramirez updates as he was batting in AAA last night.

imho, the fact that the world gives too shits about, say, LSU baseball makes me appreciate it even more. and, just in case any of you were interested, my son's little league team just lost a huge divisional game on saturday

So, why the need to bring this up today? It may not be happening nationally, but people around here are geared up for the game and love LSU baseball.

You were trying to make a point that some Gilmore Girls show or whatever the hell it was had a greater viewing audience than the CWS. Except you were comparing apples to oranges.

And this isn't the first time you've come here just to be a bitch.

This thread wouldn't be warranted if you really felt this way.
