Post season college baseball is so freaking good. Part of me doesn’t like how under promoted it is but part of me loves that it’s still somewhat regional and undiscovered. Popularity is growing every year though.
Also eff Tennessee. Geaux Golden Domers!
That’s hilarious. I’m biased as I have ties there but I thoroughly enjoy watching Tennessee baseball. The students are wild and crazy. Knoxville is a great place. The games are fun to go to and they embrace the bad guy persona. All one has to do is read tigerdroppings and see how much lsu fans hate Vitello and UT. They call vol fans and the program as a whole classless which is absolutely hysterical coming from the biggest ashhole fan base on the planet. That in itself makes me pull for Tennessee even more.
I for one like exactly where it is as far as popularity. Big games are packed and I can watch every game. I’ve seen what happens to all of my other favored sports when popular culture takes an interest and becomes involved only to use the popularity of the sport to push political and social agendas. Just look at what happened to Jack Del Rio and how the national “sports media” is writing about it and framing it. The only way to keep college baseball as pure as possible is to be as far away from the mainstream as possible.
SEC fans make themselves very easy to hate. I know we threw ropes at stAte. No excuses for that, but it came from the student side. Students can be great and terrible in the same breath. But that turned out to be an anomaly. Haven’t seen a similar act since.
Tennessee has made it a habit on national tv. I can imagine a full grown man at a Vols game throwing a mustard bottle. I’m upset, here come the condiments.
There seems to be no lack of persons who would ruin something good for their own purposes.
I’m sure it’s an impossible task to continue improving the product without the marketability becoming too attractive to those persons.
I just think NCAA baseball is in the sweet spot right now. I want to freeze it.
