re: Would you rather your team make the final 4 or win a college baseball natty?

I would take a baseball CWS championship series over a basketball natty...but hate basketball so take that with a grain of salt.

Natty, of course.

Most Kentucky fans I would guess say Final Four, but I'd take the baseball natty. I actually watch UK baseball so it matters to me, but many of our fans don't. A championship is OF COURSE better than a Final Four.

However, if the championship were in any other sport (save football) I'd take the Final Four.

Natty.

If you're saying just the Final Four and that's it I would probably choose baseball. If it's get the to Final Four and let it play out or a guaranteed baseball title I would definitely choose basketball.

Basketball attendance across the nation far outweighs baseball. That is a fact not an opinion. I like baseball but it is inherently slow. That’s why fast paced basketball is watched more. Nevertheless, I am very proud of Vandy’s baseball achievements.

The OP made the discussion more interesting by making the choice between a natty in one sport and final four in another (which still holds the possibility of a season-ending loss). But even if the original choice had been between baseball natty or basketball natty, I would have chosen baseball. I couldn't care less how much prestige the rest of the country gives to a college basketball natty over one in baseball. I love college baseball and never want the season to end.

A baseball natty trumps a semi-final BB appearance every time.

It is all about being number one!

Based on past experience, I would follow with this:
4) Final Four
5) Omaha

I initially was going to say football playoffs as 4, but given how I felt when LSU lost the title game in 2011, I'd honestly say a playoff loss would be less satisfying than those two.
