Finebaum - "The LSU passion for baseball is really unmatched anywhere in the SEC"

[maroonmania]

I'll tell want's funny about this- a lot of LSU fans that I work with ask me about their team and didn't follow them at all until Omaha.

IMO I think we are every bit as passionate but we aren't as blindly slanted and are more "rational". They literally think and believe that good things should happen to them "because they are LSU". We talk about more why not whether that's lottery scholarships or players not coming back.

I think the interest in baseball for both programs is about the same to be honest.

Pretty easy to be passionate with the success they've had. Kind of like Bama fans over the past 10 years of Saban. I would say we ARE more passionate because we care about baseball just as much even though we don't own a national title and have only played for one and only have one SEC title since 1989. If we had half the national success that they've had we would probably have 15K+ crowds EVERY weekend.
