July 20, 200322 yr That should have been in green, MSF. You know damned well that I am a Big Ten guy all the way. I will acknowledge that the baseball in the SEC is a wee bit better than up north. LOL Big West baseball is what its about. Fullerton and Long Beach State. Give it up! You might have an argument if you wanna bring up Big 12 baseball. I'm just saying its one of the best baseball conferences out their and it gets no credit. UC RIverside is building a pretty good program too. And Mark my words, UC Irvine will become a powerhouse baseball program. Either way Fullerton and Beach have two of the best programs in the country. Your right though, SEC is the best. I'd take the Big West over the Pac10 though. I won't argue with there. The Big West does play great baseball. There are several great conferences out west. The thing that makes the Big 12 and especially the SEC different is the support they get from the fans. Not all of the teams draw real well (there is Kentucky and Vandy), but despite those teams they average over 3,000 fans a game, including non-conference games. LSU averages a hearty 7,478 and Mississippi State averages 6,472. Baseball is huge and fans travel every weekend in RV's following the teams around. The SEC Baseball Tournament is held here in Birmingham at the Barons stadium and every year they draw 100,000-125,000 fans for the 5 day tournament. This year, they sold out an RV lot of 250 spaces over a month before the tournament. It's a pretty cool event. I have been to a few games. Try as they may, they will never be Indiana High School basketball
July 20, 200322 yr Indiana HS basketball sucks since they went to classes. It is nowhere near what it used to be.

July 20, 200322 yr You are right, it isn't the same anymore. :fyou IHSAA and whiney small schools. I'm glad you admit that. I didn't want to have to be the guy living in Alabama to have to school you when it comes to Hoosier Hoops. LOL
July 20, 200322 yr I'm glad you admit that. I didn't want to have to be the guy living in Alabama to have to school you when it comes to Hoosier Hoops. LOL How could you help but notice? They went from having 35-40 K at some state finals to not even filling the building at Conseco for the A/AA games and some years just making it for AAA/AAAA.

July 20, 200322 yr I was talking more along the lines of Hoosier Hoops in general. The overall level of play hasn't changed that much, IMO. Heck they just had first round draft picks in back to back years with Jeffries and Zack Randolph. Plus they have turned out guys like Bonzi Wells and others who have been contributing.
