Up almost 80% from last year
I think it helped that the game we were up against on TV - Texas vs OK State - became a blowout very early on.
For sure. But I think it was more 11-1 ranked Toledo vs 10-2 Miami.
I have had 3 people at work tell me about watching that game that I wouldnt have expected
A Rutgers fan here in NC said he watched it. My kid watched it from a casino in Vegas. Lol
I had multiple non-Miami friends texting me during the game, from around the country. My Miami-alum sister even said she watched it without me telling her it was on…and it was on at 9am in the Pacific NW.
The MAC Championship followed with a 0.8 and 1.29 million on ESPN, up 76% and 79% respectively from Toledo-Ohio last year (0.43, 721K).
America’s Team.
I had as much positive feedback from friends on this win than I can remember, even in the Ben years. Lots of friends who normally have little interest in Miami were watching this one.
