The best solution is to rotate the Egg Bowl and Texas/A&M every two years probably.
Best solution for who? Lol. Certainly not the network if only 2.5M watched.
Why wouldn't they pick UT vs TAM every year?

That's the thing. They're scheduled for Saturday also. I wonder what game they're going to put and if it will even be SEC.

I think our struggles this year offensively contributed to the 2.5 million.

Many picked a blow out before the game, I remember 2022 had many on Twitter talking about how good the game was, don't know the ratings

2023 was the Highest rated Egg Bowl in 6 years

Interesting. I just took what they were saying at face value. I thought maybe a PAC12 game or something.

I stand corrected (I was only considering FBS games), but I can't imagine that that game would draw triple the viewers of the Egg Bowl?

Yeah, struck me as odd also.
However, it was a battle of HBCUs so that could contribute.
But it was a 41-3 blowout, so that wouldn't lend itself to high numbers.
Idk.

Well, shit. That's what I get for listening to Hadad and Cross talk over each other like drunk frat boys.

We had our best tailgate of the year for the Egg Bowl. That wouldn't have happened for an 11:00 Saturday game which is a really big risk to happen every year by moving it to Saturday.

Best solution for our fans who want it on Thanksgiving and best solution for our fans that want it on Saturday.
Essentially a compromise.

If we have a product that is worthy of a good time slot we will get it. The game is all about the tv $$$ now, if we get much better and have an offense that puts up yards in chunks and lots of point we will get the better time slots. That is what people not affiliated with our program want to watch. 3 yards and a cloud of dust results in a press of the remote to something else.
