College over MLB for me as well.

With an absolute joke of an addition to MLB that is instant replay I'm keeping my fingers crossed it never comes anywhere near college ball.

I only prefer it for some programs. As a whole college ball sucks. Being in the SEC and having a bad arse atmosphere, i prefer college.

I love me some college baseball but it can't compare to MLB. I live a few miles from the Braves Stadium so its pretty convenient for me to attend games. I'm not sure I would spend the effort to travel 100+ miles to regularly attend MLB games.
Live baseball better than baseball on tv.

Got to hand it to MLB for being much better players, but the trade off in cost and atmosphere is not worth it. I do catch a few Rays games each year because (as you can imagine) they're pretty cheap.
well your first problem is going to a Rays game.
solid team
horrid fan base.
kind of like like Da U in CFB.
college ball is only fun to me b/c A&M plays it. If they didn't have a team I'd never watch it at all. Hell, college baseball is barely equivalent to single A. Who watches that other than the most diehard of baseball fans?
Its basically like being football fan who is a massive fan of SWAC football.

College baseball had a chance to become more than regional with the 2010 bats. But, for some reason, they killed their identity. If they don't change something, the CWS will fad away. No one wants to watch a game with those bats in that stadium.

College baseball for me. I will watch a little during the playoffs but that's it for MLB.
In fact the only pro sport I watch regularly is the NFL thanks to fantasy football.

MLB all day. I mean I want Georgia to do well and I usually check the scores but I don't know if I've watched more than an inning in years.
Grew up loving the braves. Watch them about every night

Teams that are good & have great ballparks agree but the ones that don't.. Well

I like college baseball, but I love the Red Sox... It's just such a more polished game.

Love college baseball. He'll if you give Em 25 full scholarships and more airtime on TV college ball would be huge.

You'd have to change the bats for it to excel, IMO. The plink of those metal bats just sounds like fake baseball (when comparing it to MLB, I mean).

Some people just like to argue with the calls, not know if they were good or bad. I prefer getting the calls right in the end, myself.

One of your home state MLB teams garnered a 0.0 television rating
The Astros have a huge footprint in which there is no way to legally watch their games. Their team did a promo tour for their brand and visited several colleges in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, and you can't even legally watch their games there.

I really hope that the SEC Network is going to put much more SEC baseball on tv. Not just the weekend series either, I am talking good midweek matchups like tonites between LSU-Tulane and other non-conference matchups.
It's pretty much been guaranteed we'll see less LSU baseball games on TV due to the SEC network.
