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

[dawgs]

Yet magically we cram 10,000 per game mimimum in there even later in the spring when hosting regionals and super regionals. This argument also doesn't hold water. The fans are out there. They just choose to do other things at some inopportune occasions. I still think LSU and MSU are probably 1a / 1b in any order you want to place them in terms of fan dedication, but acting like Finebaum's statement was completely outlandish is ridiculous. It had some basis in fact when you look at actual numbers.

So what you are saying is that lsu's passion isn't "unmatched"? It's fine to say lsu has some of the best, most passionate fans in the country and no one would say anything. But when you objectively state their subjective passion is unmatched, well then some people are gonna call bullshit, especially with all the attendance records we hold. It's at least debatable, which means it isn't "unmatched".

That's a fair statement. I just think it gets overblown a bit when talking heads make statements that are mainly just to hype up a team that is in a given situation (the NC title series in this case) and people take it too literally. And I also think its naive to think we automatically care the most or have the best fans because of attendance records or LFL or whatever. If we had made it to the 'ship instead of LSU, he'd probably say the same thing about us.
