Football. Anyone that thinks baseball is even close is an idiot.

You're right. They aren't close in popularity.

is this a real question?
why not throw in womens gymastics, since forever there has been a chance to win a national championship?

teams in the south and west have an inherent advantage over northern teams in baseball, because of the weather. sort of the opposite for hockey.
football offers no such climate advantage for any one area of the country.

The west coast is better than us in baseball, so the CWS run is more impressive.



How do you figure? When you say "West Coast" are you saying the Pac-12 or the entire West Coast vs. the SEC?

Tell that to Big-10 fans who wish we would have to play in the frozen tundra in early November.

could you provide us the TV ratings for the CWS and compare them to any regular Saturday football games in the fall?

ask the 300# linemen right after an August practice in the South where they'd rather be.

The SEC dominance in both men's and women's T&F is more impressive than any of them if we're really digging in to the weeds.

Football, baseball is all about getting hot at the right time. You don't need to be the best team in the conference to win it, look at MSU


You still mad bro? Give it a rest...

Plus, getting to Omaha is less a popularity contest than football and more a grueling challenge starting with regular season play, conference tournaments, regional placement, and super regionals.
so Georgia must be one ugly, uncharismatic bitch? Cos they're "dogs". Wakka wakka

Pew pew! :holster:

Baseball is quite impressive, but the football thing is quite remarkable too.

I agree.


This was about baseball though.

I agree with this. TandF is the real sport anyway. no bad bounces or lucky breaks win you anything in this sport. just you and your legs need to get to the finish line first.

They aren't close in I impressiveness either.

The fact that the sec has on average 3 teams in the top 5 or 6 every year is insane whereas we only have that many, maybe 1 or 2 more in a 64 team field in baseball.

Just think about that

West coast. Back in the day, LSU was our (southeast baseball fans) only chance of winning a championship.

I would say they are equally impressive, and should leave no doubt to the rest of the country why the SEC is the Fushizzle of all conferences.

However, to have to be at your best through regionals, super regionals and the CWS is pretty badass.

In football you have to be at your best from week 1 all the way through the first week in January. Yeah, there are a couple cupcakes along the way, but you can lose a few games in baseball and be fine. Not so in football.

Dude don't try and preach the football is better to me BS and waste your time. I just wrote a very untruthful post about baseball because I was in the baseball spirit. Nothing can touch where I place College Football. It stands above all others.

If the NC Game was at the same time as the Super Bowl I would be watching the NC. Jeez I can't even live a lie for a whole thread without someone ruining it with the truth. Frick you Kappy, Frick you
