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."
