According to ESPN, LSU’s games are extremely entertaining, largest viewership so far across America of any college team, Alabama games suck.

Actually Alabama is the most-watched team. They always have several games in the top 10 most-watched every year.

Alabama is an automatic ratings draw.

Alabama isn't interesting. It's well known they are going to pound everyone.

If CFB was smart they'd take some real measures towards parity.

Hopefully, if the P5 does eventually break away and form their own governing body with salaried players, they will do the right thing and institute a draft.

Fun Fact: LSU has played Ole Miss 106 times and has never won by 50 points

Well, they're rarely in question. You're really missing the mark on this troll.

Actually, Alabama's ratings suck, their games suck compared to the LSU Tigers, Bama games are an automatic toilet flush for college football fans, they stink!

Alabama games have the highest ratings in the first quarter then all the LSU and Auburn fans turn it off when they realize their prayers won't be answered that week

Bama fans got irate when ESPN removed the Alabama game from ESPN’s main broadcast with 7 minutes to go, the reason according to ESPN was that Washington vs Utah was providing more viewers than Alabama’s. LMAO!!!


From ESPN:
quote:

Alabama-Ole Miss is Cable’s Second Highest Saturday Game of the Season; ESPN Up Big in Prime-time
Alabama at Ole Miss (7 p.m.) earned a 2.2 overnight, cable’s second highest rated Saturday game of the season trailing only ESPN’s telecast of Clemson-Texas A&M in week 2 (3.0 overnight). The overnight for the Crimson Tide’s impressive victory was up 57% year-over-year, and peaked early at 3.7 overnight as Alabama extended their lead in the first half (7:30-7:45 p.m.).


seems like a good call. Bama game peaked early at 3.7, which was avg for the CBS LSU and AU game. Still finished with 2nd highest rating in a massacre on cable TV.

"Washington at Utah: 1.2 overnight, up 50% from same game window last season and second consecutive week ESPN sees overnight gain in weekly Pac 12 game slot."

Game should have had a mercy rule in the 3rd.

Agree. Heck you can even tell with some of their fans, they're almost giddy at the thought of LSU being good again.

Good I hope they cut every Alabama game off at halftime because the carnage they are unleashing is not fit for cable television. I hope we bore the he’ll out of everyone every game. I’ll take it.

I'm not sure you understand trolling. You're laughing at the fact that Bama was annihilating their opponent so badly that people were switching off from the inevitable outcome.

What would be hilarious is if the same thing happened in the LSU/Bama game after Bama went up four touchdowns.

I'm not sure you understand ratings. LSU is getting far more positive exposure, college football fans are falling in love with LSU's players and coach, Bama sucks!
