i'm not affiliated with Clemson. they don't hire posters.
lol

why is a fan of a team other than Arky butthurt about my post about Arky. lol

everybody is talking about Arky right now....they are America's team.

keep in mind I named Arky my frontrunner for the Clemson of the SEC designation, a great honor. Although I'm starting to question that given the attitude of some of the Arky fans on here. Perhaps I will go with Auburn or UGA instead.

I assume part of it is Arky draws larger crowds than most colleges for baseball so they need more parking.

plus i like talking about college campuses....that's my weird thing. don't ask

Nobody here ever does yet you still insist on coming back and providing details about your nonexistant life.

no they don't

LSU doesn't
Tennessee doesn't
South Carolina doesn't
Georgia doesn't
Alabama doesn't
Kentucky doesn't
Arkansas doesn't
Miss State doesn't

That's more than half the conference

I'd disagree with some of those like MSU. THe UGA stuff is near each other, they just pack in a lot of buildings in between. lol

I meant to make an exception for football for colleges in cities.

which ones would you disagree with? You said most schools have "all sports venues adjacent to one another." the schools listed do not have all their sports venues adjacent to one another. Some have off campus venues (Rupp for Kentucky and Williams'Brice for USC). Some have all venues on campus but not all adjacent to one another.

i mean near, short walking time

i already acknowledged football stadiums in urban areas

how many baseball stadiums are not in the core campus area

ok, and it would be about a 5 minute walk from campus to Baum, so what exactly is the point you're trying to make here? You act like it's across town. It's literally a few blocks down the road from campus

it looks longer than that

it isn't so much about the walking time ....it seems oddly located in relation to the other stuff.

Because when the athletic dept. and sports gods were planning out the lives of every Razorback fan for their lifetimes, they thought:

"Wow, we're really going frick over the people that were alive to see but too young to appreciate the 94 baskeball national championship"

"You know what... lets partially make up for it by making the best baseball experience in the world next to Ths Crownes apartment complex, and lets throw a dope arse wing place and an amazing TexMex restaurant with chugging contests in the walk back and forth"

"That will make them forget Stoerner, Fish, Sugar Scoop & Score, and all the others"

The Razorbacks may have given me heartache after heartache, but 2/4 of my college years were better than yours because of Baum

what's the advantage of being near an apt complex.

i didn't go to baseball games or want to so that makes no sense

Same reason USCe's football stadium is located so far from USCe.

ok, kind of weird to live in apt complex just b/c it is next to a baseball stadium. lol

i'd rather live closer to the dining halls, classroom buildings, etc

i always lived on campus
