If you all remember back about 5 to 10 years ago there used to be Miss St & Ole Miss vs LSU & Tulane in the Dome before the Season started Skip and Polk put that together back in the early 90's and those games did not count as Conference games but did count towards the seasons totals. That was good for College Baseball and now because of the drop-off there needs to be more of it in order to get the popularity back up again. Here in Baton Rouge we have held the attendance record for the last 12 to 15 years and just wish it was like that in other parts of the Country and there would be more TV games. College Baseball is a lot more fun to watch and also be there in person than Pro ball because of the atmosphere is great.

Also If I am not mistaken didn't Bama Auburn and Georgia and Georgia Tech play the same type of games sometime back? Just asking it seems as though I remember there was something of the sort in the past. That is great for the game more like we just played Cal St Fullerton this past weekend with LSU winning all 3 games. They came in ranked #1 and LSU was Ranked #7 and if that was Football or Basketball TV would have been all over it. We did finaly get Cox Sports to carry the Sunday game.

Check out espn's college baseball schedule this year. They are showing more reg season games than ever. For guys like you and me that love college baseball, that's a great sign.

I completely agree with what you're saying. I would love for us, yall, state, and Tul to do that in the dome like we used to.

I was looking at that Houston classic at the juice box. It's like 6 texas teams and 2 OOS teams. If they were smart they'd pick OM, LSU, or Arky, the turnouts would be record-shattering.
