Someone watched it.
In the college football world, let alone television world, no one really wants the distinction of "least watched [fill in the blank]." Unfortunately for both Boise State and Northern Illinois, they got least watched Poinsettia Bowl. In Nine years.
Wednesday’s Boise State/Northern Illinois Poinsettia Bowl drew 1.4 million viewers on ESPN, down 44% from Navy/San Diego State last year (2.5M) and down 58% from Utah State/Northern Illinois in 2013 (3.3M). Ratings were not immediately available.
The 1.4 million viewers ranked seventh on the day. Just below some show on MTV and above Celebrity Foodfight.
