Really really get into baseball. They are acting like I was on the final drive when we beat Bama

I'm not sure anybody takes baseball "seriously".
Moreso a product of a complete lack of success in other programs.
When your football and basketball programs are awful, people tend to suddenly become huge baseball enthusiasts.

programs "awful". They have a basketball national title and have been a tournament team recently. Football was making the BCS not that long ago.
also LSU takes baseball very seriously despite their football success.

Has LSU basketball been playing at a high level lately and I just wasn't aware?
When is the last time they won the Natty in football? Won the SEC?
I honestly can't remember off the top of my head.

It's not exactly a revelation that the members of the team itself care about the sport.
The rest of us? Not so much.
I guarantee if you asked the casual baseball fan who won the national championship last year they would still have to Google it.
I actually played baseball in college, but it's just unbelievably boring and uneventful to watch.

Can you name the last 5 Stanley Cup winners?

Is that your requirement to determine if anyone cares about the sport besides players and parents?
Where do you draw the line?

But no, baseball is a distant DISTANT third to football and basketball in this country. Hell, maybe even fourth with soccer's increasing domestic popularity.
Anybody arguing to the contrary I would assume is a fan of a University with generally unsuccessful football and basketball programs.

This is just an awful take. Plenty of people love watching their team play baseball. Florida won last year and also went to the elite 8 in basketball and have always been good at football. The south especially takes baseball seriously, and idk if youre just being a bad fan or what, but the sport isnt a joke just because you find it boring.

Most of the nation doesn’t care about college baseball. Most of your average sports fans don’t care about college baseball like most of the nation does care about college football and basketball especially come tournament time. Only your hardcore college fans (mostly in the south) are watching this baseball tournament.

would react as they do now to baseball. If they are putting their hope in Chad Morris they are in for a rude awakening when he starts interviewing before the season is over. That's if he doesn't take another job before this season starts.

They will pull out a straw man argument or insist on the importance of the sport, despite being unable to remember who won last year's national championship.

It's baseball season and I take it seriously. When it's over I will somewhat follow baseball recruiting.
I follow Tiger football closely year round and and am dead serious about it. There's definitely a pretty big difference.
You are right to a degree in my opinion.
I really like baseball but I truly love football. But that's just me.

you realize people from other parts of the country say that about Clemson right? Whenever someone wants to make fun of great fan support they go to the dumb "nothing to do there" argument.

Doesn't matter what region of the U.S. you live in. Americans don't give a #### about baseball relative to football and basketball.
Quite a coincidence how much you love baseball considering it is the only sport your University can remain even somewhat competitive in.
Hilarious.

Cuz it looks like not much of anyone agrees with much of anything you've said...ever.
Curious as to what would be a good indicator that your life is a series of pathetic and embarrassing decisions. 38%?

When you just quit discussing your bizarre opinion that fans can't take more than one sport seriously, I take it you probably didn't think it through very well.
Oh, well. I just like seeing people try to defend their position until they start attacking the person challenging their opinion. Really telling usually.

I agree. I’ve lived in 5 large cities from San Francisco to Pittsburgh, most recently in Chicago. Absolutely no one I met in any of those cities had any interest in college football or any other college sport.

It is very different. It's good people have so many interests, but I miss the excitement and interest that is normal in the south. They don't understand it, but it doesn't make me care less.
