    What kind of mustard is on that ham sandwich? Yeah, I read the whole fucking thing.

    Good counterpoont made by a fellow Bear on the exposure myth:

    " This does not give the west coast more exposure. It gives the east coast and Midwest more exposure by removing most of the west coast games from competition for their time slots. They force west coast fans to watch east coast games when they traditionally would be watching west coast games."

    The biggest load of shit was Larry Scott saying how we're in these late slots because teams like Ohio state and penn state are playing during the day, like we're some kind of second class compared to them.

    Larry looked on tilt, only explanation for showing up and needing to shit all over Petersen.

    We'll see how the rest of the schedule goes because it is very backloaded, no excuse for games to not be prime time going forward.

    Oh fuck..I read this earlier at work (fuck off you know I don't have a job). I thought there was some good points but overall was a bit fucktarded. And was written by a child. I was thinking ESPN, where it was linked from, maybe lost their editing department or had some new kids writing for them because their budget cuts.

    Then I looked tonight after Derek's comment at the author. It all makes sense now.

    The point that West Coast late games are rated higher overall than West Coast midday games is also a red herring. Of course they are. They are in prime time in the Western US and there are fewer games on TV at that time, therefore less competition for the eyeballs of college football fans in the Western US.

    What would be telling would be to see how the regional ratings look between mid-afternoon, early evening and the late West Coast time slots. I'd bet you anything that the East of the Mississippi audience is far lower for the later games.

    That stat ESPN provided about ratings and audience was a textbook example of how to lie with statistics (while still technically telling the truth).

    Yup. We don't give a shit if more Pac-12 fans have turned their eyes to our games because we're the only show during the late time slot. That's not who we're trying to expose ourselves (heh) to. What matters are the eyes of the committee members who are not going to stay awake until 2 am just to catch the end of our games (that they should is another conversation, but we know how useless these shitty bureaucrats are). And yeah, a large majority of the national college football media is located in the Central and Eastern time zones, and that kind of exposure still matters.

    Right now we're far and away the most forgotten top 5 team in college football, and the fact that the Pac-12 was unable to negotiate any kind of flexibility that would allow them to say "Hey go fuck yourselves, our conference champion and top ranked team is not going to consistently be put in your 'who gives a shit' time slot", is a massive failure on the part of Larry Scott and the ADs who gave him the green light.

    The 7 or 8 Eastern time slot is the ratings hit.

    Not 11PM Eastern

    Let's say you're a TV exec whose job it is to get the most people to watch the Football games that you're are airing in a National slot. Would you showcase UW or would you showcase Ohio State or Penn State.

    It's never about whose better, it's about who will draw and keep the most eyeballs.
