Guess our TV rating Saturday
- Thread starter onewoof
- Start date
It will be higher than a giraffe‘s as$ for the first two minutes or so after corso makes his final head gear pick, and then it will plummet whenever everybody gets the hell off the Channel.
If it was the only game on TV maybe a million but going up against Ohio State and Texas, I just don't see it.
About right. Surprisingly, outside Mississippi there doesn’t appear to be much interest in this game. Really not a tremendous amount inside Mississippi either.
We will be around 700k just because we are on the main ESPN channel therefore will be on in bars across America.
I'll guess less than the Free Chat app will draw.................
Players' immediate families and closest friends + 35,000 State fans + 8,000 USM fans + 1,350 assorted bettors at sports bars
I’d be shocked if its over 150,000 or so.
Only like 65,000 people watched MSU vs Toledo last year, and that one was an evening time slot with the entire country getting 2.5 hrs worth of heads up that a MAC team was punching the SEC in the mouth. This game is no different. There will actually be even less interest nationally than Toledo. It being opening weekend is the only hope for it eclipsing 6 figures.

I may have to watch him walk away, not sure who I dislike more him or Dicky V
I think you are the only person on this planet that hates Lee Corso
There'll be some interest from State fans just to see how the team looks this year, and to become familiar with some of the players names. Same time slot as Texas/fOSU doesn't help.
I don't sit and b-itch about him, I just don't like watching him. He was a terrible head coach (73-85 college 5-13 USFL) that didn't offer anything on GameDay pertaining to football other than his mascot head silliness. He is better than McAfee though I'll give him that
.8 and only because they'll spend too much time talking tay tay and those folks will be thinking they will spend 3 hours with all things swifty
I’m gonna guess a couple hundred thousand at most. It’s an FCS game that will only be available on streaming. It will probably peak in the first hour between Tennessee-Georgia and Ole Miss-Arkansas. Hopefully, by then, it will not be a game worth watching.
Interesting. When do you think tv/streaming ratings will dictate scheduling for the mid to lower tier power conference teams? I mean the network pays the conference for content and in return they expect ratings in order to sell ads right? When do they start "making" the out of conference schedules? Better yet do you ever see a day where they dictate conference affiliations?
I think it is very obvious great matchups and certain schools are best for ratings. You know the networks want 10m viewers rather than 1m.
It will be interesting to see what rating the 3 big games on ABC get this week. Also it will be interesting to see what OM v Ark get on espn compared to UF v LSU and aTm v ND on network tv.
