Message: [QUOTE="MattMang23, post: 2707425, member: 1608"] Both can be true, and, in my estimation, both are true. We are indeed at a disadvantage and we do, indeed, recruit well by and large. Don't confuse recruiting well with recruiting as well as most SEC or ACC schools. We don't recruit as well as them, and that's ok. Right. I think it's been established in this thread that we have a good team but the fans don't come out for them. It's a fan issue, and it's not the team's fault. Not sure who thinks fans aren't coming out because the team isn't good enough? That's probably all true, I'll defer to your judgment. But that's a player's or a coach's perspective. A fan's perspective is that it's cold and most of us aren't interested in college baseball enough to go sit in the weather conditions in CT in April. Yes. It is. You don't think it should. But it does. By your own observation of the Tulane series, this is the case. I actually agree with your sentiments, tbh, but it just feels like your point is that the obstacles that UConn faces in building a larger baseball fan base- which, frankly, is just the weather (the team is certainly plenty good enough and if games were played at night in 75 degrees I'm sure they'd draw better)- shouldn't exist just because in your opinion they shouldn't exist. The problem is they do exist. How do you fix them? Tough to fix snow in April. [/QUOTE]
