If watching live...

College
Minor Leagues
MLB

I like going to games and being close to the action. MLB is a corporate feeling event

Yes, I prefer college baseball to MLB, best thing about it is that it doesn't really interfere/coincide much with MLB since their postseason is months before MLB's postseason. Really not much reason you can't enjoy both, but I prefer college.

The last time I got excited about MLB was just before Bartman's blunder.....

It's pretty much been guaranteed we'll see less LSU baseball games on TV due to the SEC network.

Doesn't Cox carry almost every game that the other networks don't pick?

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

Well at the same time, people that have in state MLB teams seem to care more about them. I probably would root for college too if I lived in Arkansas or Mississippi. Maybe because it's a better product.

Probably not but I don't know if anyone knows that for sure. This whole thing seems to be evolving

Baseball is just boring, but I prefer pro over college baseball.

Mehhh, NFL is a better product than college football, but college teams still have plenty of fans.

I'd probably watch more MLB if there was a decent team within a days' drive of me, but I'm a much bigger NFL fan than I am of college football, and I still watch every LSU game.

I enjoy college sports over pro sports in pretty much every sport except golf and baseball. IMO, the difference in talent in college baseball and MLB is light years ahead of the difference in college football and the NFL. The same for golf.

I noticed that I'm not really a fan of any professional sports. I track players rather than a certain team I guess.

I prefer college football to NFL... but I may just be a weirdo. But it probably has more to do with baseball being my first love, sports-wise.

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.

For out of state fans it may be more, but I have a feeling between losing CST and Geaux Zone, I won't have as much access to the games.
To answer the O P, college easily for me. I can only really get into the MLB playoffs, but that is mostly only if the Giants are alive. It is football season by that point.
Even between just the World Series and October college football, wins are more important in football. You can lose 3 games and win the WS, lose your third game in football and your done.

its a way to more accurately officiate a game. what a joke!!


Having a manager stumble out onto the field to stall for a minute while someone upstairs watches the replay and relays down to the dugout whether to challenge or not just isn't the same as a fiery Lou Piniella ejection...
