On an unrelated note, that Temple game must have been devastating. It's the first time in history a Kansas fan has turned the conversation from basketball to football.

Classic!

No, you actually don't stand corrected. Click the link to the Orange Bowl that the little doe himself used. This guy can't help but just lie through his teeth. Here...I'll paste the first paragraph:

The 2008 FedEx Orange Bowl was a post-season college football bowl game between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Kansas Jayhawks on January 3, 2008, at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Spread bettors favored Virginia Tech by three points, but in a game dominated by defensive and special teams play, Kansas defeated Virginia Tech 24–21. The game was part of the 2007–2008 Bowl Championship Series (BCS) of the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season and was the concluding game of the season for both teams. This 74th edition of the Orange Bowl was televised in the United States on FOX and was watched by more than eight million viewers.

It was was 15 million. Later in your link it states the correct number:

Before you embarrass yourself any further, try reading the article a second time.

I have, it says ratings and attendance were up for those games almost 8 years ago. It also says that 8 million people watched the Orange bowl that year.

right...winning in the BCS.

That's what history remembers.

I suppose you "(At least) One true champion" types might well consider winning a BCS game the same as winning the national championship game. LMAO

Only Mizzou fans could be caught up arguing numbers of people who watched a game they didn't win.

Only Kansas fans would talk about bowl games when they haven't been to one since 2008.

Impressive how much Mizzou dominates Bambi's and PB's thoughts.

Of course Texas isn't interested. BYU has crushed them 81-28 the past two seasons. Like UCF, they're a mediocre school that looks like the 1972 Dolphins when matched up against the best programs the Big 12 has to offer.

The last thing Texas needs is yet another parochial school to embarrass them. Those types outscored Texas this year alone by a combined score of 117-24.

And here I was thinking the ^4 thread would lose some burst (sequels usu don't live up to the orig), boy was I wrong!

It referenced the household number of ~8m. The audience was 15m.

Mizzou education at its finest.

Wow. I didn't even click on it at first because I was sure it was an article from The Onion or something. That's amazingly bad...a cry for help.
