I have searched around and cannot find what the TV ratings were for our game. Has to be the game of the year, ratings-wise, right?

Anyone seen them? If not, when are they usually released?

UPDATE: wrong year
Tennessee-Alabama hits cable season-high, tops week eight

With those ears, he should have heard the numbers come out before they were broadcast…..

Those numbers don't capture all the online and OTA viewers. No telling how many eyeballs were on that game.

Unreal.

We can’t buy that exposure. Amazing day

Recruit! Recruit! Recruit! Imagine having that in your arsenal as a coach walking into a recruit's living room. Better than a sack of Quarter Pounders!!!

We ain't seen nothing yet. I believe in three things are already in the making.

1. With Tennessee returning to prominence, the nation will prove to be so intrigued by the team's weekly exploits, we will see even more people tuning in for games against Premiere teams.

2. With SEC additions of Texas and Oklahoma, SEC games against these opponents will draw in more crosscountry viewers. Once again, intrigue with the return of the Vols will mean we will lead the pack in SEC viewership.

3. The Biggest bowl games will be those featuring B1G vs. SEC match-ups, especially again when the UT is playing a high ranked B1G team.

We already well on the way to having more closet Vols fans. The driving force beyond intrigue with our team? Simple. VOL$.

Alabama-Tennessee draws biggest TV audience of season

It’s even more amazing because you had another game of undefeateds (Oklahoma State-TCU) and two playoff baseball games at the same time.

... and I would bet that most viewers outside of Alabama, were cheering for Tennessee. Not because they're fans of ours, but because of Bama fatigue from the last 13 years.
