This is good news. The fact there are more than 16 million witnesses to the refs stealing the game from us should make their impending trials very simple.
We’ll have every viewer take the stand and personally testify how they were traumatized by what the refs. Naturally, I’ll go first.

In all seriousness, the monster ratings are really a testament to the strength of the brands of the Wisconsin Badgers, Oregon Ducks, and the Rose Bowl.
It was two powerhouse programs playing in the most prestigious bowl in the history of college football.
It was destined to get monster ratings.

That’s a good thing for college football. Now, we prepare for next season.
