Congrats to SEC baseball. Cheer for all the teams all the way, but as a student in the SEC, no one cares about baseball honestly. Most all the students don't even know half the players if they are ordering drinks beside them in the bars. It's football or nothing honestly.

Why are you so ignorant that you can't see when people are messing with you?


PEOPLE CARE ABOUT BASEBALL. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS
LSU IS REALLY GOOD AT BASEBALL. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS

They're just giving you the same grief that gets given to every OP of every thread on the SEC Rant.

DWI, Get over it, You're gonna get flamed, Bama fans get flamed even worse, Stop whining and demanding an explanation about every single modicum of disrespect

It speaks volumes that Alabama fans simply cannot handle any other school having success other than them so they run like moths to a flame to try to poo poo accomplishments of someone else and try to minimize the importance of that sport like somehow they are the arbiters of the subject because something is no big deal in Birmingham, Alabama that must mean that's the case everywhere but then in another thread will tout how compelling softball is. So fricking pathetic

I'll explain again.


Saying LSU is good at baseball is literally like saying Bama is good at football.

That was my only point. Does that really bother you?

Yea, that's exactly what you meant.

You weren't being a sarcastic arse at all.

LSU is better in baseball than Alabama is in football, that was sort of the point of the thread.

do you realize that the vast majority of sports fans in New York City could not name one college football player except MAYBE JFF or Clowney?

It's obvious you did not intend this thread to be for baseball fans only. You declared LSU baseball the "king of major SEC sports" which it clearly is not. You opened the window for football and basketball fans with that statement, since those 2 are the only major sports.

Hell, baseball's significance is so low, the NCAA won't even let teams give a full scholarship to the players. They have to divide up 11.7 between the whole team.

The rest of your fan base does.

And I don't know of anyone who puts college gymnastics in the same category as football or basketball.

Because they'd be fricking retarded.

An yet LSU fans insist that college baseball is a deserving member of some illusion called the "Big 3" sports simply because they are good at it.

Oh yea it's not like baseball isn't an American pastime. It's just baseball.

Nice, so this is a flame thread.


And you and your boy cas4t are complaining about flame responses? From the very fanbase that you are flaming?

If you honestly don't consider baseball to be a part of the Big 3 you are either young or ignorant.

In your case, it's probably both.

in the SEC it's unquestionable that baseball is a major sport

this is the SEC Rant

We're not talking quantum physics here.

College baseball is not part of the college big "3" (2).

NCAA Hockey has higher attendance than NCAA Baseball yearly for gods sake.

We need a meta-trolling thread.

#1 we have to go through a 64 team playoff field to win our titles

#2 Has Alabama been to 16 BCS level bowl games and won 6 NCs over the last 28 years?
