I refuse to watch Houston. I don't want them to get ratings. Currently watching South Alabama driving on Miss St.

Unless you are a Neilsen household... nobody is reporting what you are watching.

Some of us have little to comfort us except small acts of schadenfreude here and there, and you would take that away from us.

Good day, sir.

(Also - UVA still down 7-16 to Richmond, more for future opponents interest than schadenfreude interest)

 

[RedStickHusky]

Wiscy totally stuffing LSU's offense.

I just read here a lot that people think their viewership is being tallied.

Some guy the other day was leaving his TV on while he went to the Rent.....

So on-line viewing doesn't push that needle at all?

 

[Drew]

Wisconsin 6 LSU 0

SEC West doesn't exactly look terrifying so far..

LSU's offense looks oddly famil-iar.

 

[RedStickHusky]

wow - apparently the filter here doesn't like l-i-a-r, so it was cutting off fami-l-i-a-r...

Television ratings? Television ratings are calculated on only a sample of households.

ESPN I imagine knows how many people watch their app - but they rarely publish anything and don't share that info with anyone as far as i can tell.

Yeah, I guess I knew that. Just thinking, I guess, that Neilson's were never a very good number and probably less so now.

That data's probably pretty valuable to them, I can see why they wouldn't publicize it. My view's probably skewed as I watch streams almost exclusively. I have access to a slingbox but the watchespn is usually better quality.

Conference realignment has been an absolute disaster on the field for every northeast school. Really only Syracuse has remained competitive.

Think about all the money that is spent on advertising. Still nobody wants to invest in a better system or a bigger sample. It's an odd dynamic.

Some of the stuff going on is amazing though - the stories about the MTV video award ratings for example. They have lost like half their television viewers in just two years.

 

[jho]

Blame it on the Cesspool, l-i-a-r is used in every other thread over there.

 

[polycom]

So LSU isn't very good? or RRPP is not a winning football strategy no matter who you are?

getting in front of that curve is what I hope the b12 is looking at. if the cable model is getting carriage fees from subscribers that don't watch your games, the better model would be finding the viewers that'll pay more to see what they want; that makes a bigger footprint more attractive.

The Big 12 couldn't find their rear ends in a dark room. If they solve this problem it would be like Lochte curing Zika.

RRPP looking like a tough recipe to beat Wisconsin with anyway... typed as Fournette finally rips off a gainer.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Richmond might be a good FCS school, but UVA is baaaaaad

 

[MattMang23]

Unless you are a Neilsen household... nobody is reporting what you are watching.

Oh ok. I have no idea how it works.

 

[RedStickHusky]

and LSU goes up 14-13 on two wiscy turnovers.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Oh ok. I have no idea how it works.

It's dumb, but that's how it works. Fortunately, with online streaming it's much easier to get an exact number of viewers in real time.

 

[BugsyCT]

30-7 Richmond, 10m left

I don't care how bad we looked Thursday night - we need to beat UVA.

Agreed. Especially given the fact that they'll be coming off of the disappointment of this game, then hitting the west coast for a nighttime showdown with Oregon, and then hitting the road again for UConn. Hopefully they're thoroughly tired and demoralized.

I'm late on this, but I hope everyone else realizes what many of us did a long time ago- Steve Addazio is NOT a good head football coach.
