late edition Week 4 Predictions:

Boy was I way off on Birm. It isn't Corral - AJ M needs to take a good look in the Mirror.

Def played real well though

I'm glad Columbus and Louisville got their first wins to not completely tank their fan bases. The attendance is troubling which makes me think Redbird has taken a step back. They were in charge of marketing prior to Repole and still rely far too much on unpaid, uninterested interns doing the work. The Google trends weren't too impressive this weekend but doesn't necessarily correlate with TV ratings. My TV ratings predictions. NFLN Thursday: 205k Fox Friday: 625k ABC Saturday: 911k Fox Saturday: 720k

LAxtreme your average of 615k is probably more likely. The reddit activity for the Birm game was slow. Here's what I was thinking pre-start to week: Th-225k, F-800k, Sat ABC-1mm, Sat FOX-750k. Likely high on both Fox games. I need to figure out how to view Google Trends.

The trends actually look better than I thought. There were less dips and valleys than weeks before and relatively in line with last week upon further review. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&geo=US&q=%2Fg%2F11vrh30xvy&hl=en

LAxtreme: Nice - i see that with your link. BTW the ProgrammingInsider site has NFLN game at 153k for wk4-Thursday. Now last time on NFLN the actual # was reported higher - as you noted in the SBJ article. We all knew this would be in the 200k range. The Friday Fox and Saturday games should do better.
