This weeks TV ratings - CU/Oregon lead the way in viewers

Saturday’s Colorado-Oregon college football game averaged a 5.2 rating and 10.03 million viewers on ABC, marking the largest Nielsen-measured audience of the season. The Buffaloes’ 36-point loss averaged a higher rating and larger Nielsen-measured audience than Ohio State-Notre Dame on NBC later in the day, which averaged a 5.1 and 9.98 million.

Well we are going to have to live with this

Halftime of ASU. They show Lanning giving an impassioned and easy speech considering all the material he was given. Then the commentators show Deion and mockingly laugh and say “how do you think he is taking this?” Then in unison “personal, personal” and laugh as they show Oregon blowing us out.

The kids are going to get the toughest game from their opponents every week. It’s helping donations and brand and interest and it has sold a heck of a lot of apparel and sunglasses.
If we win we are the world beaters and the band wagon will make the ND, FSU, Miami and SC bandwagons look like Yugos
Don’t rally after USC and win some games it could get tough

Sanders

Maybe he shuts his mouth now, and starts coaching. We definitely need an offensive line, and defensive line. We are very undisciplined, and that’s on the coaches. We are going to get rag dolled by USC next week also. I expected to lose both these games. Both teams have way too much talent. We need to try to run the ball, and we need more discipline from the players. Just my two cents worth.

We are becoming the WWE in CFB

The networks absolutely get this is just entertainment and they are milking it and poking the bear to get more clips and views. Sideline interviews now all game long. They are negotiating to get access to players during the game.

Pumping up Sanders and all the “it’s personal” and other goofy things that have happened this year

Dan Lanning giving the made for TV speech

Ryan Day faking outrage at Lou Holtz then the media telling us over and over “this isn’t an act to pump up his players. He’s really mad”. Tell me something 15 times and it’s obvious you are simply fabricating interest

It’s hillarious to me becuase fans bite and fall for all of it like it’s real. It’s like watching politics and folks truly believing ther side cares about them and don’t like the other side.

It’s working though. The viewership across the board is up and up big. I don’t get it at all but we love drama in this country.

The play on the field and the matchups have never been better. The production quality has never been better. The love by alumnus for Dear Old U and all the great tailgating is there. Schools all over the country have upped the game day experience with beer gardens and live bands.

No way though viewership is what it is by the casual fan if we didn’t have this carefully crafted production for tv being made. It’s fascinating and brilliant but it’s starting to feel definitely like wrestling.

I’m just waiting for a halftime grudge match starring the old time wrestlers at a big time game on Fox.

Travis Hunter Streaming on Twitch During Oregon Game

I know he's not playing and he couldn't of helped us, but Streaming his Twitch during the game seems a little disrespectful. I know this is a new generation of college athletes, but come on man . . . just wait until after the game . . . make a few obligatory Insta posts about how much he wishes he was in Eugene to help his brothers out, etc. Am I just an old man screaming "get off my lawn?"
