Johnny - these are the numbers. Mike put them out too - is he a troll? My predictions were higher - its on that predictions thread, everyone's were. It is what it is. The vast majority are saying this was to be a bad week with March Madness.

They're the numbers, lol. Look at the predictions thread. Everybody predicted far higher than this. They are bad numbers no matter how you spin it.

So basically all this confirms is that the NCAA Tournament, even with all the early player exits, is still above the NBA playoffs. I'm sure that Commissioner LeBron must be thrilled.

The (hopefully) good news it that this should be the bottom. Get into Week 6, surpassing XFL 2020. Get past the first round of March Madness (which XFL 2020 never had to face). Just two more FX games on the schedule.

Not good for sure. When you click on the Showbuzz Daily link and see just how many slots are taken up by college basketball, you can sorta see why. But the timeslots are just brutal, with three of the four games going deep into the night on the east coast.

You hope getting past March Madness will help, but you also have to hope that fans who watched the XFL the first few weeks then transitioned to NCAA will come back and not just forget about it or move onto something else completely. That's the risk.

Stay respectful. Discuss yes. Leave out the name calling.
