The baseball game threads are the worst. We go down 1-0 in the top of the first and the doomers and gloomers are unbearable. I use to go there just to get the score but now I just go to the d1 site.

Basketball threads are the worst in my opinion. Go down six, and suddenly we're as irrelevant as Indiana as a program, the entire staff and athletic department needs to be overhauled and the players need to be run out of town. By the second half, when we're up by 15, all is forgotten and suddenly we're discussing seeding in the NCAA tourney and player x needs to be player of the year.

Plus the sheer volume of posters on basketball game threads makes it more entertaining.

Comparing which sport's game threads are the worst on IC is sort of like debating whether Hitler or Stalin was worse. They're all terrible, so trying to debate which one is more terrible is pretty pointless, IMO.

Some of you guys haven’t looked at a basketball or football game thread in awhile lol. Those are so much more negative than a baseball game thread, especially recently.

To be fair, there is at least some logical reason for football and basketball threads to be negative...we suck out loud at both sports. People screaming for Forbes to be fired is pure lunacy.

OTOH, baseball lends itself to second-guessing the coach more than any other sport.

I can’t get on board with lumping UNC basketball in with UNC football.

I definitely agree with this. Football and basketball game threads on IC the last few years always devolve into a referendum about the overall state of the program, but I think that’s mostly been justified (I realize we have a few posters in here that will vehemently disagree with that).

Baseball threads don’t seem that bad in comparison to me though. Like you’ll see people question and express frustration about certain lineup decisions during close games or losses, but I never really see people call for firings and a complete program overhaul like you see on bball or fball threads.
 
I bet if UNC is ever down in the score to TCU, the name of "Jordan" will appear prominently in the Tar Pit game thread.
 
Plus, no team we may likely face (other than perhaps AU) will bring significant fans to the Bosh like LSU and WVU did last season.

Sorry, AZ, which makes a large opposing crowd even less likely.

Arizona is UofA. Obviously, you haven’t seen one of the 10,000 ads they have run for their online school in the last three months.

And Arizona baseball doesn’t travel. If we make it to the Supers, we will not have to worry about them.

it's a huge, huge boon to be a national seed across from a West Coast Regional that's not Oregon State.
 
UNC leads Holy Cross 3-0 heading into the Bottom of the 5th.

Heels with 3 runs in B4…..Knapp looking strong through 5.
