Not having a college baseball team in the south is weak. It is instantly the 3rd most popular sport. Teams like Alabama and LSU it might be more popular than men's basketball.

30/30 Pro baseball teams averaged more fans per game in 81 home games than SMU managed in 6.

SMU football is a dying sport.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...someone seems to have goten a little too butthurt about baseball.

I will leave you, sir, with a message from my favorite comedian:

"In Football, you wear a helmet. In Baseball, you wear a cap.

Football is concerned with downs. What down is it? Baseball is concerned with ups. Who’s up? Are you up? I’m not up. He is up.

In Football, you receive a penalty. In Baseball, you make an error. Whoops!

Football is played in any kind of weather, rain, sleet, snow, hail, mud, can’t read the numbers on the field, can’t read the yard markers, can’t read the players numbers, the struggle will continue. In Baseball, if it rains, we don’t come out to play. “I can’t come out to play. It’s raining out.”

In Football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing his aerial assault with a sustained ground attack, which punches holes in the forward wall of the enemies’ defensive line.

In Baseball, the object is to go home, and to be safe. I hope I’ll be safe at home, safe at home."

That was supposed to be funny?

It is one of the most classic and famous (and funny) George Carlin stand up routines of all time...for those that actually HAVE a sense of humor that is. Obviously, not all Tulane grads possess this gift, which seems odd, as your sports teams make me laugh all the time.

It is not like SMU does not have the money to finance a program or that they could not recruit to fill one.
