Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 465799, member: 2531"] Going back to the 2002-2003 season, a 1.1 rating would be the worst-rated Champs Sports/Russell/Tangerine Bowl ever (and it isn't even close). And, for clarification's sake, I stopped at the '02-'03 season, because that is the oldest data that I could easily find. There is a very good chance that the RU-VT games may have been the lowest rated game since the 90's, if not ever.

GT was the (close) second highest attendance for the Champs Sports bowl in the pre-xmas time slot (there have been 4 Champs Sports/Tangerine/Russell Athletic Bowls before xmas and Syracuse is about 300 behind #1 and 1800 above #3).
