Got into an interesting conversation with a fellow alum the other day. Setting aside the fact that any national championship would be nice, we were asking which one we would want more.

Would you rather Mississippi State win a national championship in football, baseball, or something else?

I know that this is an unreal question to ask, but it's just for fun.

Football. Men's basketball is a distant second. Baseball and women's basketball are tied at an even more distant third.

This. As much as I'd be thrilled to win a national title in any sport, the only sport that "matters" is football. Men's hoops is second and women's hoops is a distant third. Everything else (even baseball) might as well be tiddlywinks from a national perspective. Though if we had a tiddlywinks team, I'd want us to win a national championship in that.

Football is #1, but I’d put baseball ahead of MBB. I’m sure there would be more exposure with a MBB title, but I think a national title in baseball could solidify us as a top 10 program over a long period of time.

A national title in basketball isnt going to turn us into Kansas or Duke.

Football
Men's Basketball
(Gap; only the above two would make me unable to wipe the grin off my face for days)
Baseball
Men's Tennis (I actually like tennis more than baseball but recognize baseball is much more important to our fanbase)
(Gap; we've reached the end of sports I personally care about)
Women's Basketball (not a sport I watch but recognize that the related exposure is much higher than all but my top two)
Soccer (I take my daughters to games occasionally; would be nice if we were good)
Everything else is equal

Can't speak for every school but at MSU, even as much as folks have come to appreciate our WBB program, no way would the majority covet a WBB title over a men's baseball title.

Football and it is not close. Basketball would be next, then baseball.

Football, baseball, mbb, wbb.

Disclaimer. If in the future a team not listed above makes a run at a national title the list is subject to change. If in the eventuality a non football team wins a national title I reserve the right to change that team order making the national title team as my first choice. After all we are a/an “insert national title winning sport here” school.

Baseball. No brainer. It's the only current sport that will exist long term..

In 75 years basketball will be a global sport like soccer with all the talent going pro in their mid teens. Most likely men, women, and everything in between will play together, equality and all..

Football will have been illegal for 35-45 years and looked upon like bare knuckle boxing or gladiators and schools will fight like hell to expunge their history in such a "barbaric" sport....

But good ole baseball. They will still argue about the designated hitter, how to use instant replay, why the human element of the strike zone should not be replaced by a "robot," and Ron Polk will have figured out how to reanimate himself in the body of a host just to continue bitching about scholarships and Tommy Raffo.

Football and it’s not even close. It goes Football, massive gap, MBB, College Baseball, and WBB. The last 3 after football are pretty even. I like college baseball but it’s not much more than a time killer sport for me while I’m waiting on football season.
