Congrats it was a great game.

New Orleans bowl ratings were up considerably as well. 2.6 viewers is a pretty decent number for 2 "small market teams" in ECU and ULL.

Bowl game ratings are usually more about the TV time slot than the actual teams playing.

Last years Belk Bowl was on the same day (Dec 27th) at 8 pm EST (opposed to 6:30 pm EST this year).....

Exactly...Time slot means day of the week as well. Thursday night is a traditional "football night" to most people and is considered prime time slot of college football games. 8:00pm on a Tuesday night, not so much.

Tell that to the teams in the Bowl the prior Thursday night... also, check the Boise ratings for what I believe was an afternoon game (highest rated Bowl game so far). Of course, that will change when the Gang of 5 conference teams get going in their Bowl games.
