    It will be interesting to see how the ratings compare to ESPN2.
    The weather in Fargo keeps the undesirables out.....

    ...Which is why I live near the Twin Cities.

    11am really sucks for tailgating.

    You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning.

    Dont drink. Try getting your tailgate set up, food prepped and ready. Clean up and tear down tailgate by 10am then head to stadium for an 11am KO. Very difficult to enjoy with the time constraints.

    I know. Been there done that. Easier just to cater the food in and enjoy.

    More than anything it think the rating will be tied to the teams in the game. Just a few programs will draw a larger interest in the game. Glad it is on ABC. I plan to be there in person if you know what I mean.

    I think this game will have better ratings on ABC than any of the previous championship game (or playoff game for that matter) the Bison have been in regardless of if they're in it the title game or not. The Celebration Bowl has drawn 2M+ viewers every year it's been on ABC and it's not like it's big names playing in that when it's North Carolina A&T vs Alcorn St.

    As for national exposure I cant imagine and better game time or network situation than ABC at 11am. FCS could show naked cheerleaders on tv and not draw fans away from 2pm - 10pm coverage of the NFL..Heck, women have figured out its the best time to go out and sleep with their neighbor because GOMER doesnt even know she's out of the house!

    Depends on which team's cheerleaders.
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.

    As a kid we didn’t have Cable in the farm.

    Watched a lot of Big 10 college football on ABC at 11 am Saturday morning, recovering from football Friday night.

    This is pretty special. Hail the Bison.
