This was a ratings bonanza for ABC and maximum exposure for the Tigers, and clearly the most watched game of the 2019 CF season by far. Great advertising for the program.

Just look at the fallout. How many national interviews/stories came out of that game? We are the talk of college football this week mostly because sports media saw us play, and play well, in primetime against a quality opponent. We were the game of the day and there was a lot of hype leading up to it. Big dividends.

And in a State we recruit heavy in to steal players away from ATM & UT

Win win win win. State exposure, national exposure, won the game, and was entertaining to watch....

October 31, 1959......LSU No. 1 - Ole Miss # 3. Billy Cannon's 89 yard Halloween run for a TD. Then Cannon comes back and delivers the key tackle to deny Ole Miss the win. I was listening to the game on radio and we went ballistic when Cannon made the stop. IMO that will always be the greatest LSU game EVER.

Having said that, this Texas-LSU brawl came close to matching that game in intensity and drama.

Lets all wave goodbye to our difficulty recruiting QBs.

I don't know the MNF ratings, but I can say that Louisiana vs Texas provided some very compelling and entertaining football this weekend. And that Louisiana came out on top

Sweet. The ability of the UT linemen to hold with near impunity really kept things close and boosted the ratings.

A win-win...
