Have to be a combination of teams from NY, Cali, Texas, or Florida to make it that high......
You think that Texas USC game was that big mostly because it was between the 2 biggest states or more because of the story of the game and actual match up?

30 Mill to watch Northwestern? :mindblown::duck:

29 Mill to watch Washington State? :mindblown: :duck:

Do y'all think a game will make it to 35 Mill again and what teams would need to be playing for it to happen?

35 Mill is alot.

I think these title game matchups could reach very high numbers

Alabama vs Ohio State
Alabama vs Michigan
Ohio State vs Florida State
Michigan vs Florida State
USC vs Florida
Texas vs Florida
Miami vs Texas
Miami vs USC

Problem is, it's not 1995 or 2005 anymore and there are a thousand different ways to watch a College Football game now.

I think that Alabama Notre Dame game could have got up there if Notre Dame would have kept it close.

35 Mill is alot.

first of all, almost all those games were pretty much on REGULAR television. ie abc, cbs, nbc.

The cfb playoff and title game are on cable. College football is more popular than ever so I wouldnt go by those numbers.

Back during that time you're talking around 60 million in both those states combined.......Today it's over 66 million living in those 2 states combined. Yeah there were people watching around the country because of Vince and Reggie and Leinhart......but I guarantee most of the viewers came from those 2 states.

35 Mill is alot.
It won't:

The highest games were all on network. With the move to ESPN, the fact that they offer coverage on multiple platforms and the number of people leaving "cable" tv.

Does Cam have a poor relationship with Gus? HeLL i see Mike Vick came thru to help out but where is Cam.

Cam also seems smitten with Watson. Nicca was looking like Kung Lao talking about him last week. Watson said they are very close....Cam called him his lil brother


Meanwhile Jeremy hoping Kodi Burns give him mentoring

He's at training camp.....and he comes through at times during the season the last couple of years. He was around more because he was finishing his degree during the offseason the last couple of years. He's probably around more than we realize but people just don't talk about it much now, like Bo Jackson......That dude's around all of the time. People have to live their life after college. He's just getting started.



No problems with him cheering on Deshaun though, they're both Georgia boys.......They do it on the :mjpls: side too. So why not....

Make sense...

Watson maybe coming off that :mjpls:

He tweeted he wasn't dating during the season...I'm sure that chick in her feelings that he won't Leonard Fournette her and plant that baby inside prior to that NFL contract lol

The common denominator of those outlier games in the 90s especially

THE ROSE BOWL

Its the fukkin rose bowl which was a draw in and of itself on some wrestlemania shyt....and those were for a title for all intents and purposes too...

How this nikka gonna argue with a real Vols fan :dead:

Stupid is stupid don't matter what team you root for.

Plus I said a million times, imma fan of this particular Tennessee team. Could care less about previous squads or future ones if they ain't cold.

2016 Tennessee = most talented college football team since 2001 Miami.

All you idiots will see what it is this year.

Sit back and enjoy the show.
