Game(s) is the point. Dozens of them in combination, sure. Just rarely any single game. Hell, you go to play someone and get 3 attempts lol.This weekends series vs LSU will be packed to the gills and every game is on tv. LSU and Tennessee in baseball has quickly become a very bitter rivalry.
The games are critical though, much more so than you probably think. You have to get a top 8 national seed to host a regional and a super regional, and a top 16 just to host a regional.
In a conference like the SEC, where 5-8 teams will host in any given year, every conference series means a lot.
As opposed to football where you can't lose more than 1 (if even 1 with divisions) and basketball where 4 or 5 losses is pushing it and the finish to the reg season is thrilling for the SEC title where every game is crucial. We already have 5 losses and could still easily win the league...
Same as MLB. So many games, it's not must-watch tv. Though I do love watching them play. Vandy...Arky...LSU...I'll tune in for 1 or 2 of the 3 games. But not dedicating friday nights and saturdays like it's a saturday in the fall or winter in bb playing our rivals. It's still college baseball/softball, not a big 3.
