re: NCAA Baseball Tournament - Super Regionals

As someone who did the same thing, I grew up an LSU fan because I watched the games with my grandpa who went to LSU. I never applied to LSU though as it was much cheaper to go to Southern Miss since I lived near the campus and was paying my own way.

Exactly this. Ive watched every LSU Football and Baseball game since I was 8. My father and I bonded over it, my grandfather and I bonded over it. LSU is at the heart of my family. However I live out of state and couldnt afford to attend LSU my bad for not being rich. USM was the university my family could afford after I got my associate at PRCC, and thankfully I have no student debt. My father wouldnt allow me to take loans but also couldnt do something like LSU.

And if you are going to that school because of a niche course of study, it is hard to understand you not becoming a fan while you are there.

Outside of baseball they arent in the same world, and its worth noting that I attended the regionals last year and didnt really root one way or the other.
