If you have a male child in your home that is 21 years or younger you would not have to ask this question.

I would say only parts of the South enjoy watching college baseball. Those being Louisiana, South Carolina, as well as parts of Tennessee.

This. But until recently, the X-Games never really had great ratings either. I remember that the numbers showed that Pro Bowling consistently drew better ratings than the X-Games.

this is mainly b/c they moved up the XGames up several months from its normal spot to avoid the Austin heat later in the summer and also aired chunks of the XGames on LHN.

At least college baseball has an audience. Who watches the X-games?

No it doesnt. You just think its popular because you post on a niche site that has a few other crazy fans.

Who are the "more people"? Stoner high school kids who skateboard and have nothing to do during summertime?

Sorry your team sucks at college baseball.

Because X-Games is more exciting than college baseball.

X games appeals to a broader range of fans than college baseball does. Especially the younger people. I don't know much about casual baseball watchers (I don't watch it at all), but I bet you'd get more people to casually watch an X game than a college baseball game.
