Playoff semis moved up an hour.

[Mazeppa]

35 percent drop in ratings and they're still going to have the semi games on new years eve, if I read this right.

It's not a company holiday at most offices.

You can't ask for additional "holiday" time off less than a month in advance (when playoff berths are finalized) at most offices.

Leaving early to catch the football game is not a valid excuse at most offices.

Continue being out of touch, ESPN.

I saw one article that said that the ratings on the final game was down too, so the scheduling of the semis did not totally explain the ratings. Personally, I don't care - if OU is playing, I'll figure out a way to watch.

This solves everything!

I don't like the semifinals being on new year's eve but what I really can't stand is the arrogance. They have actually said that they know it's not popular but they are starting a new tradition and everyone just needs to get on board.

yeah, it's bull****. like putting this crap on ESPN in the first place.
