PrintThe final game of the best 2-of-3 series for the College World Series Championship may not have been close, but the buildup was good enough to give ESPN three of the four highest-rated CWS games ever.
The three-game series for the National Championship grew in numbers with each game, until it averaged just under 2.8 million viewers. That was 26% more viewers than last year's Georgia-Fresno State series.
Russell Moldenhauer and the rest of the Horns helped ESPN draw 3.2 million viewers for game 3, making it the most-viewed College World Series telecast ever on ESPN.
To put this into perspective, the overall rating matched the Stanley Cup Finals.
The only downside to this? It probably means another round of announcers Orel Hershiser, Mike Patrick, and Robin Ventura.
Then again, it might not be all that bad.

But that is a preat picture of Ryan Muldenheiser. Taylor Rupp sure is reaching out far with his glove in that picture.

Off topic, but USA leads Brazil 2-0 at the half of the Federation Cup Championship. This would be epic for American soccer.

Goal, Brazil.
Goal, Brazil.
Goal, Brazil.
And now, back to our regularly-scheduled programming; namely, a sport at which Americans do not suck.
I wonder what the ratings for the soccer game were compared to Game 3?

This would be epic for American soccer.
It would be epic if they won and people cared 48 hours later.
