Seriously you can’t even hear Florida fans when something good happened. It sounds 95% LSU.

That's because in Omaha, it's about 95 % LSU fans, and especially tonight.

Because 95% of college baseball fans nationwide live in Louisiana. Probably. It’s a niche sport.

Announcers said 98% of the crowd was in purple & gold. Damn, that’s embarrassing.

Maybe after after watching Cooper FL fans will bake their boys a pie or three next season.

If Ole Miss can fill up that stadium in Nebraska, Florida should be able to as well.

Strange considering Florida has one of the largest fan bases in the nation.

LSU is the face of college baseball and Florida fans seem to only be die hard football fans

Carnies, Jews, and Snow Birds from Ohio/Michigan/New York don't give a shite about sports.

It’s not just Florida. The apathy amongst once proud fanbases is rampant & accelerating.

From 2010-2018 Florida made it to Omaha 7/9 years and won their lone title in 2017. They had also been in 05 and 08, being runner ups in 05. You'd think being in Omaha for the first time since 2018 and being in the finals, a team that has done that well pretty consistently would have a well traveling, loyal fanbase by now.

Because it’s college baseball.

Too much to do in FL - not worth surrendering a weekend to watch college baseball (lol). It’s like the women’s bball of men’s sports

What’s yer point?

It’s less relevant that there’s less FL fans at a game than the Staunch LSU figs that inundate any venue at any given time?? Naw, that’s going to happen. They overwhelm the other fan base and it’s why so sweet when other teams like GA in the SECCG thumps em…or FL beats em in the last NC in baseball. Or they go through a relevant hardship of shady coaches and players…

Would be great for FL to thump em this year in CWS.

Since UF started focusing on becoming one of the best public universities in the nation the enrollment became more nerdy every year.

The typical UF student these days cares little about sports. Being this close you can see it happening year after year.

It's quite simple.

Despite being among the largest fan bases in the country, Florida fans don't care about college baseball.

They are still shell shocked from their dumster fire football team's performance last year.

I'd latch onto this baseball team if i were them because Sunbelt billy aint winning anything of note anytime soon.

An LSU fan who instantly switches to being a full time OU fan whenever it’s convenient saying this? Lol
