CW Presentation

You know the Bama-FSU second half wasn’t even televised, right?

Ranked SEC juggernaut in a tight game at the time…

Sounds good let's just stay in the ACC then.

Not my point. I just find it disingenuous to complain about being on CW when most of the country couldn’t watch Bama-FSU.

Us older fans remember never getting to see games like FAMU, C. Mich,, **** even lower ACC games on TV. I’d rather watch a **** channel like CW then follow it on my phone play by play, with no radio station reception north of WPB.

Well in a league where you are compensated for viewership I'd venture to think your whole tangent is pointless. Being on the CW is a net negative in all capacities.

Is the CW not included in Nielsen ratings?

I’d rather watch the game than not be able to watch the game because ABC deemed Ole Miss v LSU a better draw than Bama-FSU.

I’ll take whatever is best for UM. I don’t give a **** honestly. I’ll go to the SEC, but **** the Big Ten sideways, anyone on that bandwagon is a fool.

Are you pretending that CW is comparable to any major network IE; Fox,CBS,ESPN, ABC? If so I don't want to play that game.

Are you going to continue to strawman your way throughout this thread?

I asked a legitimate question in direct response to that post.

Their games are rated. It's not going to be ABC or ESPN caliber, but it's not terrible. I like some of their camera angles. Try to watch it at a sports bar, the announcers are nothing special and the halftime show last year was mediocre, but if you have 3-4 other games to watch while you're seeing us kick the living **** out of CMU, you'll live with it.

We'll be sandwiched in between the The Wayans Bros and Living Single

There's a game after ours on CW- Rice vs San Jose State I think. But I get what you mean, the ads for their other shows are going to suck. I still remember when we felt lucky to get the local Sports Channel to cover our games with the late, great Sonny Hirsch on play by play, and 2-3 games weren't televised every year, so I can live with this.

You wouldn't want to finish the riveting hawaii at wyoming game?

You keep my beautiful Mountain West out of your mouth!

 

[Numb Nuts]

He was ok at best baseball, but without question the worst last year in college football gigs. Embarrassingly bad.

I didn’t say he was good at baseball…..I said baseball was his best sport.

 

[Gables Canes]

Not going to lie - it doesn’t feel like we’ve participated in this college football season so far. Including CMU, we’ve played 3 lousy teams and 1 mediocre team, and all but 1 game has not been on Saturday. It’s annoying and kid of embarassing to see all these big time games every week while we play crap teams on CW or on Thursday night. Feels extra weird as we just played for a national title and this is how the season has started.

 

[Confidence1000]

Commentators were so bad last year. Can't remember who it was but I had to mute it and listen to other games... which I never do.

Don’t worry about bc we gon **** dem ppl up so bad dat by the time the commentators even think about getting in rare form the popcorn/drink man dat walks down the stands will be in the game

CW games are consistently very low on the weekly numbers. We had this exact debate on the board last year leading up to the USF game (ranked matchup) and then all of like 600k people watched it.

It’s disingenuous to act like being on the CW isn’t a huge detriment when conference payouts are based on ratings, the entire sport is based on perception, and the average college football fan is just flipping through ABC and ESPN networks on a Saturday, not trying to find games on the CW.

My point is that the ACC Network games aren’t included in the Nielsen ratings at all.
