Probably Clemson due to the bandwagon factor.

SC will have its alums root for their schools

But yes for nons, they pull for the team that’s doing better

Mizzou is the most popular college team by far. All the other college teams play pee-wee compared to us.

Braves have fans of many schools, so they are far more popular in GA as well as other states. I see more Braves caps and tees than I do UGA.

Do you expect them to have a daily preview/review show for all 162 games like they do for the 13 in cfb and 16 nfl?


First, you have no clue the local television that I am talking about. These are weekly shows on ABC or CBS (whether there is a game or not) with the sole content being UGA or Falcons that air on Saturday or Sunday mornings.

Secondly if you have seen the other shows on local TV for Saturday or Sunday, then you would understand why a Braves theme show should be successful if the audience is there (i.e. High Q, Jack Hannah's Wild Adventure, Crikey: it's the Irwins).

The Braves are bigger in the southeast than the bulldawgs. No doubt about it. That is why they are on a Fox regional sports channel. But the fact remains that they have zero local TV content. The Bulldawgs and Falcons do.

The braves might be the most popular team in Fla

In the whole south.

Surely not in Alabama. Iw ould think Alabama is.

In Florida, I would think the Marlins, Gators, FSU, Buccaneers would be more popular than the Braves. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the braves and Falcons, but I have to go with people who choose to be in the state rather than those that are paid to be ther. (College verses Pro)

I rarely see Braves fans in Florida.

I see more Yankees and Red Sox fans hands down, no question.

Marlins have no fans

While I agree, living in Atlanta it was surprising how few cared about the Braves.


The Braves are still huge in the Northern Suburbs and should draw close to 2.3 million fans.

Yes.

I’m slow please spell it out for me
You don’t live in NC?

If we go literal, then for me the answer is no.

Sc is not the most popular college football team in NYC

Why are people talking about pro teams of other sports?

They're on TV 5 days a week with a pre and post game show along with being talked about on sports talk radio.Why is there need for a local TV show? Do other MLB teams do this?

Don't know. Don't care.

It isnt a "team" programming option.
It is a local programming option.

If the local stations want a few sports talking heads to talk about the braves for an hour a week on CBS or Fox, you honestly think the Atlanta Braves would object to the publicity?

Only half the state likes the Cards so it would just be the Chiefs. But nice try.
