RE: 2016 AAC Baseball Thread: Can baseball be an AAC revenue sport?
This is one of those games where the team who blew the lead already had their chance. LSU has so much better depth/talent than UC, so the longer the game goes on, the less likely we are to win. UC had their chance and couldn't close it out.

Could it become a revenue sport? Of course it could. Will it? I don't think so. That being said, ESPN is looking hard into it and a lot of sports guys realize that there is potential there. There is drama in the game that doesn't exist in the other big spring sport: lacrosse.
In what other sports are Fullerton, Long Beach, Rice, Tulane, Houston Baptist, etc national names. So many conference host powers that the drama is great.

I think maybe you mean Dallas Baptist? HBU is solid, but not really a national name. The overall point is still valid.

Should never have come to that, we had it 2-0 with two outs in the top of the 9th. But a win is a win is a win.
Am I missing something?
He finds the term walk-off funny because they aren't actually walking off the field as the ball is hit
That, plus the fact that they use it in football, and I swear I heard them use the term in basketball, makes it a word that should never be uttered ever anymore.

I've never heard it used in football nor basketball

Some announcers are trying to replace "buzzer beater" with walk-off. I've heard it at least twice, quite possibly more. They've definitely said walk-off on football highlights, the Packers-Lions Thursday night game with Rodgers chucking that hail-mary being the obvious example.

About the 15-41 (6-18) 2015 Cincy Bearcats....? With the 200+ RPI....? No one.
Question: Do you think Tulane resides in a baseball town ?
I think the attendance numbers speak for themselves....
And that was a down year coming off the end of an ailing coaches career with a few years of no post-season.
So you avg. 2000 a game and you consider yourself a baseball town. Seriously. The Reds draw more than 59000 for a couple of games ( your whole seasons worth ), that's a baseball town, plus those who watch UC play.
