I feel like we have repeated this phrase to them at least 15 times, but they ignore it every time. If ESPN felt that there were enough viewers of an Alabama/LSU Thursday night baseball game, they would bring more cameras and more staff. However, they are in the business of trying to make a profit. Spending top dollar to broadcast a game with horrible ratings is not in the best interests of ESPN
I'm a LSU fan and I agree with this. You have to forgive most of them. LSU fans think that just because THEY care about college baseball, the rest of the country does as well, or at they should. The reality is that very people give a shite about college baseball. Certainly not enough to justify large production value for each and every game. The fact that the game was available on any type of visual medium is a huge thing in and of itself.

Thank you.
What college baseball means to LSU is totally different in Alabama. It's like the difference between the interest in wrestling in Missouri or Iowa v. wrestling in Louisiana. It's an awesome sport in Iowa but people in Iowa don't seem shocked and offended that people in Louisiana don't care about wrestling as much. Posted on 4/3/15 at 12:09 pm to Alt26
Alabama doesn't care about college baseball, but they are spending $30M on a new stadium while their basketball program can't win a game and Auburn is playing for football national titles. Makes sense to me.
