00:03 - Nine and a half million,
00:05 Saturday night for a 10 o'clock East game
00:08 against Colorado State.
00:10 Are you kidding me, Mike?
00:11 That's normally a game that does like one seven or two
00:14 and they did nine and a half million for that game.
00:16 - Oh, one seven a year ago would have been a miracle
00:19 because Colorado was awful.
00:22 Now they're doing nine and a half million.
00:24 It's astounding.
00:25 I have never, I've been in this business for 40 years.
00:28 I've never seen anything like this.
00:30 Basketball or football,
00:32 I have never seen a hire have a popular impact like this.
00:36 We've seen new hires win games,
00:38 championships even,
00:40 and get recruits and get interest generated.
00:43 But we've never seen a cultural phenomenon like this
00:47 where people just wanna see what's going to happen.
00:51 It's fascinating and it's fascinating in part
00:53 because he's a coach, he wears a headset.
00:56 I mean, after the game, he's unbelievable.
00:58 His comments to the press are next level.
01:01 But during the game, he's a guy with a headset
01:03 and yet people, they wanna be a part of that.
01:06 That game, it lasted until 2 a.m. plus Eastern time.
01:12 And people were still hanging with it.
01:14 Now, obviously it was a overtime game.
01:16 So I guess once you went past one o'clock,
01:18 you were in for the whole ride.
01:20 But it's still amazing to get that kind of audience
01:23 for Colorado, Colorado State.
