   We have the same short-week problem next year with Texas Tech set on 11/20. I didn’t enjoy the dead-leg syndrome this year, and I wonder if Mack will try to push the game back to Fri/Sat? These ratings won’t help the argument.

   The deadlegs argument is bullshit. Aggies had a short week too. They had 2 games in 6 days. Not a huge deal.

   Let me get this straight. The top 3 games of the season don’t involve a single SEC team?

   On cable. CBS has seen their SEC package increase by about 20% this year.

   People need to start playing college fantasy football so the games are more interesting nationwide than they are now. I can’t hyperlink at work, but you can do it on the site below. It’s a little light on options on how you want your league to run. For instance, I’ve used the site to set up a BCS league only and a top 65 Sagarin league, but the commish has to make sure teams are using eligible players.

   There aren’t more than one or two of the next six years in which there is an open date between the last Saturday game and A&M.

   Help, I am trapped in a box of italics.

   The more people who saw Colt win that game, the better. Heisman-wise.

   I have so many words I want to emphasize, but I don’t know how.

   Oddly, I have seen my package increase about 20% this year as well.

    Cable don’t do well in the Southeast. Gators and giant nutria keep chewin’ on the lines.

    Wow, A&M really drew in the viewers!

    Comparing NFL games on ESPN to historical cable numbers is a little bit misleading (not a crack on you, srr50). Cable has historically been a second-tier medium. As network audiences diminish, cable audiences grow, and nominally “network” programming — like NFL football — migrates ever more aggressively to cable tiers, the “cable vs network” distinction is going to be rendered essentially meaningless.

    If it’s not already.

    Ag_in_TX,

    The legend of Von and the Ten Dwarfs had spread far and wide. Folks had to see for themselves.

    Actually my point was more about the power of the NFL than comparing cable numbers, although the cable vs. network debate is indeed over. Just ask the BCS.

    When ESPN originally switched over to MNF from SNF they get a slate of shitty games. They seem to be getting better games this year than in past years. Is that just luck or did they change the selection process?
