“Your two revenue producing sports, I mean really three here”
Even he had to do a second take on our odd obsession with college baseball down here.
Basketball should be and will be second fiddle… All else is third. Bout time.

Odd obsession with America’s pastime? Do you sport a short mustache by any chance?

You realize he's from Baton Rouge right? He's from "down here"...

It wasn't a second take. We are just an exception to the rule here.

The one thing he made clear in the press conference is success of the big 3 sports is critical as they are the ones making a profit

That said, he expressed LSU should still try to be great in its other non-revenue generating sports as well and talked about the benefits of their excellence to the university.

Well, baseball made a little more money than basketball last year (and basketball profited ), so he was actually pointing out a huge positive and pretty rare thing for a college to a profit in all three.

It takes a true idiot to try to spin LSU having 3 profitable sports into a negative.
