I thought A&M was supposed to have some huge alumni base?

quote:

The Arkansas/Texas A&M college football game drew a 2.8 overnight rating on CBS Saturday afternoon, down 43% from Georgia/LSU last year (4.9) but even with Tennessee/Georgia in 2012 (2.8). The 2.8 is well below the previous SEC on CBS telecasts this season, which drew overnights of 4.2 (South Carolina/Georgia) and 5.1 (Florida/Alabama).


quote:

The game was not even the top SEC telecast of the weekend, trailing Tennessee/Georgia on ESPN (3.1).

I saw most of it. The one question I have is why did your coach stop running the ball? It just made no damn sense at all. He had a 2 TD lead and kept throwing - as if he wanted to make sure his QB got some #s in the game. If he would have kept running you would have knocked them out.

I think it had high ratings in Texas. So enough people saw the game.

Katy Tiger, I realize you dislike A&M, but just watch the replay. They did attempt To run the ball. But the A&M run defense stepped up in crunch time.

Arkansas is dragging the SEC down.

AU has 25000 students and a lot of freshmen get left out of getting season tickets, it seems at a school that size student tickets would be almost impossible to get for underclassmen

I really don't dislike A&M football, only the play soldier thing.

Ark threw a lot in the 2nd half from what I saw, but I was flipping around a bit an didn't see the whole game. They let up well before the last series stop. They stopped running in the 3rd QTR.

I can explain the low ratings:

N.C. State jumped up to a 17 point lead on Florida State. Many people rushed to see it in the hopes that Rapist Winston would fail.

The reason they didn't rush more is because they were unsuccessful at it and kept having to punt. You'd think ULSU fans would understand this concept better than most.

That's the same question all hog fans want to know.
Why were passing plays being called when the run game was so skrong? Aggie defense got breathers when drives began to stall, thanks to the inept passing game.
Brandon Allen doesn't need 27 pass attempts. I think 10 of those should've been audibled into run plays at the line. Give Jonathon Williams the ball.
