if you lose you have to work the concessions for the 400 people at the next game
Im excited. Come on guys. Let's go. We can get this crown.
Why are your spectacles fudged up.
Jim Jackson has always been a very bland commentator. And it's not just because this is a who cares tournament. He's sounded like he was going to fall asleep during quite a few regular season games as well.
Usage: While traditionalists prefer "champing," Merriam-Webster and other sources acknowledge that "chomping" is widely accepted.
And you know what? Good for them anyway. The 6 kids Minn had decided they wanted to go out there and compete. If a team has kids who want to play there’s no reason not to do it. Who cares?
If you have kids who want to keep playing the Crown is a great option for them, period. I think it’s pretty funny the nay sayers talking about how this tournament will be gone in a few years. FS1 needs content. Check out the random games / alternative content that channel hosts in say, early December after 10PM. Those are the viewership numbers to compare the first round games to.
@ BAC - I mean, what type of (lower quartile) TV audience do you think FS1 typically draws when they don’t have rights to a desirable event in the 10:30PM EST slot? My guess is it is quite low and the “targets to match” across each of the 7 game slots in the Crown are consistently low as well.
Viewership data, of course, isn’t readily available to the public in this way, but only lower quartile numbers would be relevant to financially rationalize the Crown’s existence. These deep consolation type sporting events (all of them - every sport and form) are obviously scheduled for times when nothing else is going on that contracted station is eligible to broadcast. So we have to basically think of it as - how do the Crown ratings compare to them putting on a rerun of something they have unlimited rights to or paying for rights to broadcast in that slot? I don’t know the answer to this. Maybe they make out better without the Crown in the long run but seeing how lower bowls and such ballooned to what they’ve become, I tend to doubt it.

hopefully do not play Baylor if we win. matchup poorly. they have two athletic wings that are a problem. watched some of game and they played unselfish and def have not just been playing blackjack for past few days.
So why start this dumb tread,if you don't care, won't watch . Let me guess more BS to complain about something--- gee bac you're so innovative.
1 or 1 million. a RU win is what matters most since it's not a home game.Look at all the fans there
A google search found this >Creighton is technically the designated "home" team in the matchup<
Blame Creighton for the lack of fans in the stands and root for Rutgers not to disappoint the RU fans that showed up
GO RU
??? You're the one that can't stay up beyond 11pm---and is the one that has problems being up late or waiting in lines at the stadium.So appropriate, you're actually speaking about yourself--- a hoarder ,malcontent, complainer--- have you given up your season tickets-- what a phoney.
You're another idiot-- you must share that coffin with your brother-- I'm guessing no wife,partner or who however would share a bed with you two.
I'm sure the hotel is picking up much of the cost, including some TV costs. Fans are going to gamble and lose, and younger people are going to be introduced to Las Vegas. If FS1 wasn't going to make money they wouldn't televise the games.
