Hope you have better luck!
You're right, but I dont quite see how that matters?? Notre Dame is the biggest draw in sports, no matter how you slice it. It doesnt matter what variables there are, Notre Dame comes out as the #1 draw to ratings.Pick6;1330465 wrote:Look at the total fan base numbers.

there are many variables that factor into TV ratings.

I thought it was somewhat relevant to the conversation considering people were claiming ND is by far the biggest draw in all of sports.

Agreed.dlazz;1329404 wrote:SEC. ND fans need brought down a peg.
I look at it as a win-win. If ND wins, the SEC just to a team that has never won a BCS bowl until them. If the SEC wins, ND still will have zero BCS bowl wins.Scarlet_Buckeye;1330617 wrote:Agreed.
But SEC fans don't?
There was no attempt at chest pounding at all.karen lotz;1330597 wrote:I'm not butthurt at all. You posted that in a Notre Dame game thread like its something they should be ashamed of or some great accomplishment for osu. I'll keep reminding you of it because it was a very weak attempt at chest pounding. Congrats on selling more tshirts.
Do you have a source? Like I said, there are many variables...time, television, how good each team is, importance of game, etc.Laley23;1330596 wrote:You're right, but I dont quite see how that matters??

Well considering OSU is undefeated and has won more BCS bowls than anyone; I'd say they are on the right peg.karen lotz;1330625 wrote:Or OSU fans??

I cant find much, but I did find this: Notre Dame games on NBC drew less than half the ratings that CBS and ABC averaged for their college football games in 2008

ND fans.karen lotz;1330632 wrote:Every game Notre Dame plays is on national television. Half of their games this year were prime time games. ABC put a game against 2-7 Boston College in prime time. You shouldn't need a link. How stupid do you have to be to question how big of a draw Notre Dame is? You and vball are the only ones questioning it so that should give you an idea.
Why not thread ban the ND fans who started it? Stop protecting them.Laley23;1330636 wrote:Alright, the constant trolling of OSU and ND in this thread is getting out of control. Please stop.
Because I actually call out OSU fans and other ND haters for the dumb things they say? Yes can't wait til I'm like you when I'm all grown up and will get all snarky when someone provides facts into an argument rather than just shooting off the usual mindless hate and baseless opinions that are swallowed and regurgitated over and over. THAT is what is truly enjoyable to read, that stuff.vball10set;1330515 wrote:Not at all, I just noticed that all of a sudden you're on here all full of piss and vinegar (my grandpa used to say that), that's all...it's cool, I was like that back in college too
