Usually a big indicator that said "fan" is a sidewalk fan and did not attend said school.

I'm simply illustrating a point. What is insane is people not grasping the simple facts that there really are normal ol people that like football and don't like watching or care about other sports. I honestly think a 3 year old can grasp this.

So, it must be something else driving you and others who keep wanting to attack people about this. My opinion is, you are angered that it bothers you when UGA or Bama or other elite football programs mop the floor with your football team. Then when your baseball or basketball program beats these same programs' teams we don't care and it doesn't bother us. That doesn't seem fair to you and it feels like we are somehow spitting on your glory. JMHO

Auburn Women’s Tennis: Carolyn Ansari, DJ Williams, Addy Flach, Angela Okutoyi, Selen Ovunc,…..and that is just off the top of my head. I have seen them all play.

I do agree with your general point. No college sports fans care equally about all sports.

Says the Bama man. Some schools do take baseball seriously and their attendance shows it.


Alabama has not been very good at baseball in a long time.

Despite not being very good AND having a coach that betrayed the team and school, Alabama was 22nd in the country in attendance last year. Despite all that.

Good products, whether they are concerts, movies or athletics, get higher attendance than bad products.

My football team has won the second-most national titles since the year 2000, so I consider us as elite a program as just about anyone else. Admirable attempt at interpreting my psyche though. I'm thinking you probably mix in a few episodes of Frasier alongside some of those ad valorem CSPAN debates, Darin

TuscAUloosa as usual you say things that are not true.

LSU home baseball games average attendance in 2023 was 12,431.


I don’t believe that was actual average attendance after catching a few sec series games this year.

Again with this ridiculous comparison. How can you do more than sell every season ticket and have a waiting list of people looking to buy them when they become available? You should be smarter than this considering all your alleged poster awards.

Having the ability to post an average of more than 3,000 times a year on a sports blog seems pretty sad to me. Different strokes for different folks though. Hopefully, you're getting paid per character!

No, I read it correctly. You are being a little bitch about people not caring about baseball as much as you do so you created some retarded little test of "courage" without any specific rules. If you did give us specifics to your cute little test, you would have to tell us how high on the "give-o-shite" meter we would all need to care about a specific sport without being deemed a "coward". And then you would have to explain your retarded subjective rules as to why you are allowed to care about women's golf at maybe a 1 while you must care about baseball at at least a 9 because that is likely where your interest line up. So I just simplified it to everyone having to care about all sports equally because your original premise was completely retarded.

Sorry if you couldn't keep up.

Bama fans love softball over baseball until they don’t.


Softball is a much more entertaining sport, even this year when our softball team sucks.

This might be somewhat believable if not for the fact you decided to come here and call everyone names while pretending to be better than them because you think being a fan is a job that pays back based on time spent.

But yet here you are calling people you do not know cowards. You are not making a lot of sense.

I’m not sure I “care” about any of it as much as I use to.

I’m sure that I do not. College athletics is in a very dangerous place.

I will say that I’ve really enjoyed the NHL playoffs. No real rooting interest but it is a fun game to watch. I’ll also go to sleep midway through the third period in a time game if I feel like it.

Oh Lord...

When I went to Alabama I tried to go to as many games as I could. Win or lose (if it was not football) I had a good time. I want Alabama to win in every sport but losing does not ruin my day.

I guess in your world I am a coward because I am not bothered by Alabama losing in most sports.

They quit caring about basketball and baseball because they weren't any good. Irony.

Understandable. People tend to have more interest is other school sports if they went to the school.

Let me propose that it just might be possible that fans don't care about a particular sport.
I've been to lots of college football games, even more college basketball games, and a few soccer matches, but I have never seen a college baseball game in person.

Sorry.

I like to see UGA win at anything, but there are a ton of sports I don't follow at all and care little for.

I get upset when UGA loses at football sometimes. I really am not bothered by UGA losses in anything else.

Honestly, when was the last time you said "I can't believe we blew that Tennis match against South Carolina? How could we lose to them like that?"
