51-3 now. Are Badger fans even enjoying this? Total mismatch.

Well for one there aren't a lot of first week blockbusters to begin with, and those that do exist are on saturday. College football is a saturday sport, thursday and friday night games only crept in as a way for lower tier schools to get themselves on ESPN. The last couple of years bigger schools have been playing on thursday and friday nights but it's still not that common. If ESPN thought the ratings were there for an NCAA kickoff special type game I'm sure there would be one, apparently they don't see that.
