You can bet Ohio had a huge spike in texts early in the 3rd quarter, and a surge in channel changes.

Anyone know the ratings for both the NYC DMA and Fairfield County?

I wonder if we become an attractive early season opponent for the big boys. For the time being, I can live with that.

5.5 million of them were Michigan fans.

5.5 million of them were Michigan fans.

I would put money on the fact that more than half of them were NOT Michigan fans. I'm not saying they were UConn fans, but I'm guessing more people tuned in to watch Michigan lose than they did to watch them win...

I'd like to know what the 8.3 rating meant for the Hartford/New Haven market.

It means you had just about 83,000 homes - because the Hartford DMA has just under a million homes total.
