Texas A&M vs Minnesota on the tube here at the pub. More people here than at the game.

Should people be forced to attend women’s sports in order to purchase tickets to more popular events? Equity and all that?

They used to play ladies basketball games before the men to help with attendance.

we already force people to purchase tickets they don't want to get tickets for the game they do want

I'm not watching but it looks like that's the Oklahoma regional. College hockey suffers the same problem with their tournament - if the host team isn't in the first game you get like 1/4 the crowd of the second game.

Every college postseason has the same issue. If the team isn't local the game is half full. Dumb thread

Not Alabama. It’s another packed house for a win.

You love playing FCS teams, admit it!

If you can’t draw 50 folks, why have a “regional?”

What do you think the attendance would be for an A&M vs Minnesota basketball game in Norman, OK?

The product sucks.
If they can’t draw fans, why not have all the games in one place? Or something different.

I don’t think there should be a game when they can’t interest more than immediate family.

There would have to be fans to know.
Everyone there is related to a player.

The home team draws the fans at all regionals in all sports. This has to be explained to you?

Maybe you should stop hanging out in gay bars and spend some time learning about sports before you post to a sports board.

Have you been to some college baseball games? You could share a pizza with some of the crowds I’ve seen

No one “loves” it but we can’t all play Bama every week…

Blame the NCAA for not having regional regionals… having three or four Louisiana teams in the Box is always epic, but sometimes three or four don’t make the tournament

Its HR or a bunt.

Sport dimensions make no sense.

Remember watching Jenny Finch easily strikeout MLB players with a softball at softball plate to mound dimensions.

Its 43 feet. Little League baseball is 40 feet...and they're 12 year olds.

These 21 year old husky women with big asses are winging some serious heat. Most people can't hit that riser. They created the dimensions for little girls never imagining Title IX would make it a popular sport for twenty year old women.

When they had Softball as an Olympic sport, every game was 1-0

Either a team would walk in a run by bunting or a team would get a fluke HR.

Now it’s gone the other way. The girls have learned how to hit and the field is too small.

I enjoy it more than college baseball at times. Fast paced, higher energy. Games don’t take nearly as long. Also helps when your team is good. WCWS will be fun to see if anyone can take down the Goliath OU.

Agree. The fast pace of the game is nice.

I like both college baseball and college softball. Hardly every watch MLB.
