The Dude is cool and it’s an incredible atmosphere, and it is infinitely more electric when you are good. But we could go 50-0 or 0-50 and we are going to average 12-13K every SEC weekend.

You just cannot prioritize baseball in any way in this new era. Especially at a school that does not have a billionaire, or 4, that can fund the non revenue stuff as well as the revenue sports.

None of that will happen though, our baseball team will continue to eat up funding that needs to be going to football. I am glad that we have boosters that are so passionate about a sport that they want to fund it as well as they do. I just wish they would take 75% of what they are giving to baseball and give it to football.
Also this board leans heavy baseball (which is great we have that level of passion) so if you spend all your time here I could see how many would come to the conclusion we don?t care about football
