· the Capital One Bowl (Alabama vs. Michigan State) on January 1 (4.3 rating),


quote:


The game, which saw SEC powerhouse LSU taking home the big trophy, drew a 5.4 overnight household rating.



For those of you who were positive the Capital One was going to be the better draw.

quote:


The LSU vs. Texas A&M game delivered a 5.8 overnight household rating, marking the highest number ever for the Cotton Bowl during the BCS era and a 29% improvement over last year. That gives Fox its best Friday in more than a year.

Fox vs ESPN .. 5.1 to a 4.0 .. Last year's Cap One was a 6.4 on ABC .. this year's Outback was a 7.1 on ABC ... Both higher than last night's game ..

LSU was never a consideration for the Outback.

What is this thread about?

I would rather be in Dallas with that exposure on a Friday night in the best stadium in the world than in the Cap One playing MSU.

guess I'll have to .. dumb bet on my part .. I assumed the Cap One was on ABC like always .. didn't know it was on ESPN this year and Outback on ABC .. Outback's ratings were higher than the CB .. Had Cap One been on ABC like I assumed, it wins ..

Capital One has traditionally been on ABC (over the air television) .. This year the Cap went to ESPN and the Outback to ABC .. didn't realize this ..

No it wasn't. You just didn't do your homework and went ape shite criticizing the Cotton selection. Your own ignorance put you where you are.


I have little doubt you will not honor your bet. You probably should do your homework before going of on these rants.
