I don't think my team will be anything to be proud of on the hardwood. So I sorta keep my distance.

Because in basketball the stressful, zero sum part of the season is the NCAA Tournament and rarely are you competing against teams in your league.

However, it gets a lot less friendly once conference play starts.

You have a bazillion games a season, well not a bazillion, so one loss or win isn't a "Oh Sweet Jesus!" moment. Until, that is, you get to nut cutting time when teams are trying to make the Big Dance.

Because it’s best for everyone if other SEC teams do as well in non-conference as possible

There are much larger problems with MLB than the amount of games

You should check in on Saturday-in-Athens. He is a huge libtard. This election may have pushed him over the edge. He may try to electrocute himself with his Prius.

Because LSU sucks at basketball. Therefore, you have 10x less troll threads about it on here.

Go, grab a peanut butter shake and a hot dog.

Football has fewer games and higher stakes.

Bb, like baseball, has a lot more wiggle room. It will heat up between a few teams for the regular season conf champs, the SEC Tourney, and especially for embarrassing early season March Madness matches or NIT invites... or NIT success bragging.

Men’s basketball and baseball talk is usually pretty civil. There are more games so a loss usually isn’t as catastrophic as a loss in football, plus their aren’t as many fans as for football.

Now women’s basketball? it is usually all the fans of the 14 schools who don’t care about women’s basketball ruthlessly mocking the fans of the two schools that take it seriously. But I won’t name any names.
