You forgot to mention that attendance was over 300,000 for the first time ever, ESPN had the highest rated baseball games ever on their channel, and ESPN is planning expanded playoff coverage next year because of all of the success of this year's CWS.
Attendance is "up" because the NCAA got rid of multiple game sessions. That's like bragging on winning the Indy 500 when 29 other cars crashed.
As for the ESPN ratings...don't forget that games were on at 8pm this year, prime time vs. earlier on in the evening pre-Sportscenter. Once again, manipulation of numbers.
Besides, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the empty seats on TV. The NCAA will NEVER EVER report a drop in attendance of any major nature. If you saw how they count the stubs, you'd see what I mean.
Hey now, with Tony George and his shriners out there, your 29-car wreck at Indy is very possible.
Pauli's beats out Creighton basketball because the beer is cheaper...
Some of us actually had fun, too. Sorry you weren't one of them.
Rick,
I choose not to go due to the people that run the event. I have no problems with those that go and enjoy it. (Except Shatel, who takes it way way way over the top)
If you had to put up with them for as long as I did, you might feel the same way.
Happy 4th to you.
You are such a bitter old man. Go back to Russia!
