That’s right, almost 5 million people laid their eyes on the Tigers reigning supreme on Monday night. Hello, recruiting opportunity, yes thankyou.
So nice to have the only game on with little TV competition on a normally high viewing night. Roughly 600K people more combined to watch the UT/Cal game and the K-State/Auburn last Saturday night. I’m guessing that number even hada fair amount of cross overs. Pretty dominate stats on the tunes vs the rest of the games.
