If your final is televised world wide and the other is on ESPN 2 the answer is obvious. When schools like UC Davis and Stony Brook are powerhouses and they use metal bats it is never a good sign.

Baseball or Basketball - they are about even in my eyes.

We're after a football title right now in South Cackalacky, but we would take a few more baseball titles and we would not mind a basketball title or two in both men's and women's basketball.

Baseball and it's not close.

Basketball is a Canadian sport.

I would just rather watch Arkansas go through the grind of regionals, supers, and cws. I enjoy watching postseason baseball more than March madness. Pro basketball is easily my second fave sportbehind college football. But college basketball<baseball.

Yep. Those rocket launchers they use for baseball bats can make any average hitter look like Hank Aaron. When I was 11 years old I was cranking home runs I had no business hitting. It was fun though........

Alright, let me revise my statement:

College baseball is irrelevant wherever there are both good football and basketball programs.

Basketball. Six is enough for now in baseball. Should see a pretty good squad come next season with a top ten recruiting class jumping on board.

Basketball and anyone including Lsu fans who says different is either a liar idiot or both. In NCAA athletics the talent level coverage and hype is nowhere in the Same ballpark (pun intended) I love college baseball but march madness is much bigger than the regionals etc. I mean the entire nation tunes in to watch 1 vs 16 seeds in the first round....most don't even know the regionals even exist. With that said Omaha is a blast and the funnest I've had at an Lsu event (mind you two nc wins number 1 uf taken down etc factor in) was at alex box super regional vs uc irvine.

right about what?

he implied that the CWS final is on ESPN 2- wrong.

he called UC Davis(don't even know where this school is located) and Stony Brook powerhouses- uh no.

the metal bats have been considerably toned down and there are less homeruns.

So again, what was he right about?

Anyone saying baseball is fricking retarded (this is a fan coming from the best baseball program in college). basketball is so more prestigious. Baseball is like hockey I mean hell Northern schools don't even have baseball programs. But this is not surprising coming from this arky poster, if i remember correctly h had a pic of himself as his avi that linked back to his photobucket

Basketball is the correct answer

More national exposure, better overall for your school. The media doesnt care about college baseball

Basketball.

Is this even an argument?

The Final Four packs out 70,000 in a football dome and the CWS goes to the same minor league baseball town every year since like 1950.

Hockey is pretty massive in some regions of the country, like college baseball. Suck it.
