Why on earth are UGA and Vol fans so darn apathetic to baseball when the rest of the SEC is not?
Also, how on earth can UGA suck so bad at baseball when they're in the freaking state of GA and their players can pay in-state tuition or use HOPE which frees up scholarships to go nation-wide recruiting.
Well, for one our stadium has been small and crappy for years (just get a major renovation, set to open on Friday). But even then, we used to pack the place out up until 2009 when the wheels fell of the wagon.
For two, UGA has historically been one of the best in the conference in baseball. We won the SEC's first National Title in 1990 and have made quite a few CWS appearances since. 2010-2012 set us back due to Perno's sudden inability to give a shite about recruiting or coaching and we finally fired him to bring in Scott Stricklin from Kent State in 2013. Stricklin is on his secon year and already the team looked more competent last year down the stretch than it had in the last 3 years under Perno.
In other words, kiss my arse we're working on it.

That's false. NCaa stats say UGA was around 34th in attendance in 2007 (the year you after you just went to the CWS)

I"m not doubting UGA's ability to bounce back. I'm doubting their ability to ever pack 5000 fans in the place on a consistent basis.
