    ESPN execs ain't smiling after 35-40% CFB Final 4 ratings plummet!

    Geniuses at ESPN laid off a few hundred loyal employees last year.Maybe high time to stop grossly overpaying for sporting events/moronic ex-jocks & ex-coaches as analysts?This is karma!

    I wrote them off when they gave that freak Bruce Jenner an award.

    What do you expect. They are run by the Ultra Liberal ABC Television Network.

    I hope so, the cable companies think increasing their prices to account for the loss customers will help, which it will only lead to more people cutting the cable

    Some of it is playing it on New Year's Eve. The other part is the matchups weren't all that "sexy" like they were last year. Last year had a lot of intrigue. This year it was kinda "bleh". I think if you would have gotten a Bama-Oklahoma and Clemson-Ohio State semi, ratings would have been a lot better.

    Next year the Peach and Fiesta Bowls get the playoffs. They will be played on New Years Eve, which falls on a Saturday. The Cotton Bowl will be moved to Monday. No College Football on Sunday. I agree that the match-ups were terrible. That is because everyone thought that Oklahoma would defeat Clemson and play Alabama for the Championship. I guess no one expected OU to be as bad as they were. What does that make. Clemson 77, OU 23 in the last two years?

    In the morning he's at the studio in Connecticut, now he's in Texas to do the Oregon game?!
