6.6M watched UK vs. Iowa

That’s an impressive number!!

You have to assume lots of eyes outside of Kentucky and Iowa were watching.

I have been asking among many Kentucky acquaintances, and the vast majority say they did not watch the game.

Of course, many of my closer friends/family were at the game.

We were competing for eyeballs against the biggest ratings draw in the sport, Notre Dame was on at the same exact time period in a high scoring close game
 
I've always thought it peculiar that the Peach Bowl is considers a NYD bowl but it's played in late December and the Citrus Bowl ISN'T a NYD bowl but it's played in prime time NYD. Go figure.
On a rotating basis, all of the NY6 Bowls can/will be played prior to New Years Day, if they are playoff games.

But, yeah, it is ironic that since 2014, two big games are played that early, when named the “NY6.”

Try to explain that to a foreigner . . . then explain “The Big Ten!”

So, how does Big Brother know what I'm watching? Or that I didn't just switch to it for a couple minutes during a commercial? Or just left the tv going while I was doing something else? Must be leaving some kind of electronic trail behind me somebody knows how to follow, a thought that's a little disconcerting, even though I realize it's all routine stuff now.

Man, the NoSuchAgency has computer chips in every electronic device in your house, including your wifes vibrators. They count how much water you use so they know when you're taking a dump.

How are Nielsen boxes disconcerting when people agree to have them placed in their homes (or Nielsen diaries for that matter)?

They’ve been doing this since the 1950s.

God, I hope you were joking.

If you have come of age in the US and know nothing of Nelson and it’s decades of ratings . . . .

This is where we are as a nation?!?!?

Being from the CATV and digital video world, every second you watch a channel is counted. That is the only way channel can justify advertising rates and just happens to translate into "ratings".

In this day and time it's no telling if he was serious or not. Big brother is apparently watching everyone. Lol.

They can watch me all they want. Would be a boring life for whoever has that assignment..

Sure.

But that has a lot more to do with the cell phone attached to us than television.

50 years ago, we all laughed at Maxwell Smart and his shoe phone. Who’s laughing, now?

Ah, yes... Who doesn't remember Admiral Horatio Nelson and the battle of Trafalgar? "England confides that every man will do his duty" and "God and my country". Very stirring. Alas, the original film is presumed lost.

And as I recall, the English won, one, nil!

Hard to believe there was film dating back so far!
