Is this one of those where you ask this question as a game, see how people guess, then tell us the correct answer?

Or, is it one of these questions where we think the above is going on, but after 37 pages you pop back in and say you have no idea, and that you were just wondering?

I just want to make sure I don't get my hopes up....

Times-pic said the 2001 Sunday super regional on ESPN at Zephyr field, LSU/Tulane still remains the Highest rated TV game in NCAA history.
found that surprising, if true.

I believe that. Skips last game. Two great in state schools going at it.
(The Friday night game of that series was incredible)

that's kind of hard to believe. That game was only on secondary regional cable.It wasn't on ESPN or ESPN2 and ESPNU hadn't been invented yet.

I would have said maybe the 2009 CWS Game 3 vs Texas.

I dont believe anything the Times Pic reports. In fact, I find the Rant is more credible than TP.

Pretty sure LSU-Tulane was not on ESPN. ESPN didn't start televising the Super Regionals until 2003.

Fresno State vs Georgia, Game 3?

LSU vs Texas, Game 3 was the highest viewed game in ESPN history but only the second highest rating. I can't find anything about who was the highest rated.

LINK found the TP link to the article the OP mentioned. Still would be surprised if that's correct.The ratings in Louisiana were probably off the charts that night,but it was carried maybe in 6 states nationwide.
