Collegiate baseball just doesn't get the same passionate following that college football and basketball do, despite Major League Baseball's widespread popularity.
MLB is miles ahead in terms of talent but personally I still prefer the college atmosphere. What about you????

College, fewer games and used to be way more offense. Maybe it'll come back somewhat with the new ball.

What year are you posting from? 1958? One of your home state MLB teams garnered a 0.0 television rating

Is this a serious question? MLB is miles ahead. Of course LSU and Mississippi fans will pick college because their states can't afford a glorious MLB squad.

I probably watched State play 40 times last year in person, on TV or on computer. I might have watched a couple of innings of the World Series last year. Was it St Louis? Don't remember....

I enjoy MLB but I would have to say I do enjoy college baseball more.

Being in the SEC definitely helps. We have the best fans, facilities, and overall talent in the country.


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.

I don't care for baseball in general, but I am more likely to follow a collegiate baseball season than a major league baseball season because the college baseball season is much more compact.

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.

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

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

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.
