Yeah, should’ve played Saturday at noon. Time slot is the only reason that game had more viewers.View attachment 271531
UPig-Mizzou had 1Million more viewers than The Battle for the Golden Egg.
Didn’t you like having all day Saturday to just enjoy football with your victory in your pocket. I know I did.View attachment 271531

And most of those eyeballs most likely are due to the St Louis tv market. We aren’t going to magically gain more viewers by moving to Friday or Saturday against other college games.View attachment 271531

That game was on at the same time as Ohio State / Michigan. Most people would rather watch the competitive game with playoff implications than watch a sleep walking UGA team lean on GT until they break.More viewers than GA/GA tech. GA is #1 in the Nation and Atlanta is 10th largest TV market. Not to mention just the gross population difference between GA and MS.
That game was not opposite ours.The Dallas game that was on opposite the Egg Bowl claimed the largest crowd to ever watch a regular season NFL game(42M). It is hard to compete with that but I still enjoy our game on Thanksgiving. It gives the die hard college football fans something to tune into. Personally, I believe our numbers would drop if we moved it to Saturday. I just hate that the NFL has expanded to 3 games that day. We would have had larger numbers if our game was on earlier in the day.
I doubt it. That was a Friday game on a broadcast network. We wouldn't gain more viewers by moving to Saturday, but I'm guessing we probably would by moving it to Friday? But it's really irrelevant to us.And most of those eyeballs most likely are due to the St Louis tv market.

Sure, our fans can ***** about the game logistically being on Thanksgiving as a bad thing but this proves nothing as far as a reason to move it. These ratings are probably the best we are going to get.
Was also on broadcast TV versus cable. ABC is in over 100m homes, while ESPN is only in about 75mI am all for moving it after being at last yrs game. Nothing really open and after the game absolutely nothing open. If you are from out of town(3 states over) that does not work. Note that USC Clemson had the Saturday 12 pm start and had basically the same viewership
In Starkville. Haven’t been to an EB in Oxford.Do you attend the game?
