re: Mizzou Baseball Attendance

Pretty bad analogy because so many factors aren't considered.

People aren't going to drive 2 hours into Como to watch baseball in chilly weather, especially when the real deal is a month away.

We fill our football and basketball stadiums. Some of you are too obsessed with baseball attendance.

I've been to LSU basketball games with under 5,000 people. The metro area of Baton Rouge is over 500,000. Why don't they support basketball? Hey I can name a lot of SEC schools that have bad attendance in basketball, the 2nd most popular college sport in the country. Look at the ratings for the NCAA tournament, games on TV every week, etc.

Now on the other hand Mizzou packs their basketball arena over 10,000+ and the team "sucks", never been to a Final 4, etc, nobody talks shite on their basketball attendance. College baseball attendance smack talk, seriously. What are the ratings for the CWS compared to the Final 4??

And I for a fact know Mizzou doesn't have A LOT of "subway" alumni. The people that usually root for Mizzou actually went to school there at one point or another. That's why their endowment is in the top half of the SEC. Schools with the lowest endowments usually have more "fans" than alum. A fact!!!
