Well, I guess that's one silver lining right there.

Excellent. I hope someone at ABC gets fired. They manipulated the system to feed us leftovers. They ruined CFB for me this year, and that was long before last night. The whole "system" stinks and everybody knew it.

That game was hard for a die hard fan like myself to watch (not just because LSU lost, but just the lack of offensive production) so I could see how someone with no dog in the fight could not want to watch it.
And someone on the OT yesterday didn't believe me that NFL was more watched than college football.

Doesn't this have something to do with ESPN claiming the rights

I think people from other conferences were saying all along that they wouldn't watch another rematch of LSU/Alabama. ESPN tried to inject much hype into this "game of the century" and it appears it didn't work. Ratings = revenue so it will be interesting to see if this will bring about any change from the BCS. Power to the People!!

not suprising to me at all...only available on cable, rematch, boring first game, all SEC, etc...all serve to reduce the number of folks across the country that would chose to watch....

Good. Couldn't happen to a bigger bunch of scumbags. Espn and the BCS deserve this.

Thank God, Hopefully a whole lot of the nation didnt watch us stink it up last night.

What do ya'll think it will take to get the ratings back up?

The All-SEC affair, the first championship pairing of teams from the same conference, drew a 13.8 overnight rating on ESPN.

And the Sugar Bowl was the lowest rated BCS game in history.

I predicted this though it wasn't difficult to forecast. SEC haters didn't watch since no chance the SEC's streak was going to end. Fans of other SEC teams didn't watch since the streak was assured of continuing. No top 40 media markets located in the state of either competing team. It was a recipe for a ratings disaster.

That's the one positive about this horrendous game. Few people saw it. 
Posted on 1/11/12 at 10:37 am to dakid
Now I am pissed I watched it.

But, it has to be in the second week of January for ratings.
But, it has to be on a Monday freaking Night for ratings.
