In Nielsen's early ratings, the game, which ended well after midnight on the East Coast, pulled in a 15.3 household rating,

Last year's game didn't do so great either. Casual sports fans aren't interested in this matchup

tOSU youth fukked up a potential record setting ratings game with Bama but Clemson rightfully got crowned as champs. And fukk the ratings that game last night was a classic.

it was a great game, but its something to do with Alabama fatigue.



Nobody wants to keep seeing the same team win over and over and over again.




Which is why David Stern vetoed the Chris Paul trade.. lets just stop talking conspiracies, and look at it as a business move.


The Lakers had already been in 7 NBA finals with Kobe. They had just came off 3 straight finals appearances.



Why would they then infuse this team with more elite talent? the people would have had Lakers fatigue.



So they hit reset on the squad, and let the "small-market" teams come up and it was a great business move.

Well for one the game lasted like 6 hours so I don't blame anyone on the east coast who quit watching.

Why was this thing so long?
As somebody that had work in the morn and didn't care who won, I got tired of watching it going into the 4th hour and went to sleep.

naw, NBA thrives off big legacy teams and superstars..nobody gets tired of the Lakers, Warriors, Heat, Cavs,Celtics etc when they were good..

problem with Alabama is they are very boring, they have little individual name recognition compared to past great teams like USC, Texas, Miami etc.

The problem is that a college football game on a Monday that runs late is gonna make the northeast tune out sooner
