I played intramural basketball and we used to play pick up games against some of the girls on the women's baskeball team. That's when I got interested in them. They had a couple of hot girls too.
Football/Baseball at the top.
Basketball secondary.
Don't care about the rest, unless they are close to winning a title (like the women in 2017/2018).

Young Me:
1. Football

3. Didn't know there was anything else
Present Day Me:
1. Baseball
2. Football (but my interest is fading fast here because of NIL and transfers, may be baseball only soon)
3. Still don't know of anything else

Back in the day:
1a. Football
1b. Basketball
5. Baseball (I was late to the party on baseball. Stupidly rarely went to games when I was on campus).
Now:
1. Football
2.a Baseball
2.b Basketball (I recognize it's more important to be good at basketball and I think I'd put basketball at 2.a if I got back invested, but we're coached great this year and mostly enjoyable to watch if the shooting is painful and I've still missed more games than I've seen).
Nothing else really registers. I guess women's basketball has some marketing benefits so that's the sport I'd want to be good at next? I'd probably prefer women's soccer to be better personally, but at the end of the day, I'm probably not going to watch either, so I guess it'd be better for the university to be good at women's basketball.
I only watch the big three anymore unless one of the women’s teams is having a special run (softball postseason last year). Was big into WBB during the Schaefer era but haven’t really watched since early in the Nikki McCray season.
Football has almost always been my number one, with basketball and baseball trading places at two and three depending on the year. Basketball used to bring me a lot of joy, my grandfather was big into it as well so that was our thing we shared with each other. He passed away in 2012, and then the Rick Ray disaster started followed by the Howland era, and I had problems with Howland basically from the start, even if it took others a few years to feel the same. So I felt detached from our program for a long time. But Chris Jans has rekindled my love for men’s basketball with the same excitement that my grandfather and I used to share. Would give anything to be able to talk about this team with him, he’d be so excited about how they’ve been playing lately.
I love MSU baseball and will always be grateful that my dad and I to this day share a big interest over it. But I admittedly have a hard time getting that into it until mid April or so. Might be because I’m an accountant and when I formerly worked tax season hours it took me out of the first half of baseball season most years. But I’ll be following them closely soon, just not quite to that point yet.

Basketball
Never watched any other sports back in the day
Now:
Baseball
Football
Basketball
WBB
Softball
All the transfer portal, NIL stuff plus the general lack of competitiveness in college football has caused my interest to diminish somewhat. I will still watch any sport on TV that we are decent at when I can.

never watched much of anything else… although legends LaToya Thomas and Tan White were there so probably should have watched more wbb
Now:

WBB
Softball
My dad is the kind of person who, if he could watch only one sport for rest of his life, would choose college basketball. So I guess that’s why it’ll always be high on my list too. I was raised an om fan and as a kid we attended countless games in that old blue / orange / yellow seating tad pad.

I was a baseball-crazed kid with nobody in my family having any connection to MSU at all (both parents from TN - Memphis Tiger fans). Got taken to The Dude for a weekend series as a high school kid in the late 90's and was instantly hooked on the baseball atmosphere. Once I became a student I didn't miss a home game in my 5 years there.
For me it's always been:
1. Baseball
2. Football
3. Basketball
4. & 5. Whatever other sport we are good at at the time.

Then:
1.Basketball- Greg Carter and my sister graduated together and Greg’s mom was the assistant teacher under my mom. We didn’t miss watching Greg play as a kid. Then my brother and Charles Rhodes grew up together I have known and played with him most of my life. Never missed my boy playing.
2. Football - Rodney Stowers mom was one of my teachers while he was playing at State so we always pulled for him.
3. Baseball
4.WBB was good friend with some of them when at State.
5.
Now:
1.Football
2.Basketball- could be moving back to #1. No place rocks like the Hump when it’s lit.

My wife and I were at the game in Orlando when Rodney broke his leg. We were stunned to hear he passed away the next day from a pulmonary embolism. It was a heart breaking day. I know it was hard on you and your family.
I'm with you concerning basketball. Back in the day coaches for other SEC teams said the Hump was the toughest place to play because of our fans. Let's hope Jan's can get us back on track.

3) Message board melt downs (we are really good at it)
4) Basketball (got my hopes up a bit but it's still hard to watch

Why? A lot of people across the country are souring on college football because of the money involved.
