the 2000's I don't believe tv broadcasts of college baseball even existed. The tourney and stuff yea but it wasn't a tv sport. There might be one here or there but the last few years it's really started getting attention.
Honest, we got to the 83 college world series and my response was 'we have a team'? Honestly didn't even know. Didn't know who the coach was or any players.
That just makes you a shitty fan. Doesn't mean anything else. I'm sure your schools true fans kept up.

I watched college baseball on tv in the 70's and like posted the tourney was the main games on tv. But USC was on tv back in those days even during the regular season.

Fans support champions only in droves. Start winning championships and bubba will start coming to games and acting like the football fans.
As of now gumps or in backyards drinking and grilling chicken quarters bragging about Lil Nickie.

Baseball in the SEC was played in Bleacher type stadiums for the most part. Scholarships were limited and game results were hard to find in the Newspapers. To call it the Big Three is a big stretch.

Iron Puppet start reading baseball history, you really have no clue about baseball history.
Hex you don't even know players like Lou Gehrig (Columbia) played college baseball and he is only one of many.
I guess you don't know Auburn used to play on the sawdust hill field in football and didn't even have bleachers?

You're link looks incorrect. Alabama won two regular season SEC baseball titles since they were reinstated in 1985. Won it in 1996 and 2006.

WTF have you shown us that counters my post. I asked to list SEC Players who prior to the 1980s played in the Majors. Most of the time the College players were like College Gymnast today. They were usually beyond their prime to make it to the elite level. That started to change in the late 90s.

So Bama has never won a regular season baseball title, but has SEVEN SEC Tournament titles. Gee, I wonder why they want to keep it in Hoover...
You couldn't be more incorrect. Alabama has several regular season titles. Most recent is 2006.

Lacrosse is big in the Carolinas, Virginia, and Maryland. It's slowly trickling inland. I know the high schools here in Lexington have club teams. That wasn't the case 15+ years ago when I went.

I think it depends. The heyday of postseason college baseball was the 1980s. There were some loaded teams in Omaha every year. The talent level isn't what it was then. But the sport is more popular now. Though it's a regionally popular sport.

Irons Puppet as I posted you really need to start reading about baseball, at LSU there are over 18 players to play pro baseball before 1980 and 3 of those a famous and our first pro baseball player is Roland Howell from 1910. Baseball is a very old sport and many schools had more players than LSU.

I would say the best Baseball talent on those rosters, were on Football Scholarships. Again, baseball was a secondary sport.

There were no scholarships in the old days and if a school paid a players way, that would have meant they were professionals and would be banned.
1950 is the first year of scholarships.
Football like track and field were off seasons sports and baseball players played those to stay in shape, not the other way around.

No that started to change way before that. As in decades before.

You would say that but be wrong. And you can't back it up.
