Not trying to pick on you, but it would be better served, especially when people are trying to have a dialog, to admit you are wrong and then go to another point. We aren't politicians, we should be able to admit when we got something wrong, especially when it is such a small thing. I would have thought they had better ratings than that too, but guess I was WRONG!
I actually agree with you in a way that I thought recruiting would have started out with a big boom, but instead it has been slow and we dont have that big 4 star guy we are all desperate for. I believe Dino will get us some big ones this year, but I am a little nervous if I'm being honest.
Go CUSE!
I guess i was wrong regarding sheer numbers but not sure where those numbers came from, and i did read "rating unavailable ", so not sure what that indicates. Ratings are a funny thing and hard to calculate and get a handle on given factors like day if the week, game length, gadgets like firestick and all kinds of streaming options and of course there is always the public establishment factor which is huge for viewing sports.
Just really hard to believe only 100k nationwide would tune into a cf game in primetime on a fall weeknight when cfb is arguably the 3rd or 4th most popular sport in america pro or college and of course the gambling angle.
That said, thanks for calling me out, but yes, i am wrong about the ratings. All i pot trying to say is G5 is very real and a very appealing option for kids. A big reason the blue bloods dominated back in the day was d/t them being on Tv weekly, one of 2 or 3 games on that week. Back when TV was a big de
al, lol. Now, most every game is on TV.
Heck, just wanted to talk about what some of these 17-18 yo kids have as options these days and when it comes to exposure (AKA, getting drafted) , playing at a football fun school, coaching, and playing against lesser competition and still rating out the same as P5 players, and ultimately getting more kids drafted than a sig amount of p5 schools. This isnt breaking news, been happening gor a good 6-8 years. Teams like temple, usf, ucf, Boise, app. St. , toledo, northern Illinois, buffalo, ohio, central and western Michigan, as well as Houston, cincy, and FAU. in the end its strictly about a kids comfort level and relationships with coaches . Close to home is relatively important initially but gets run over with the other human and facility factors. We are in recruiting battles with alot of g5 schools. Its what to be expected. We have lost alot of OFFERS to many already, let's win some!
