Arkansas was at 2.85 million residents at the last census, so if every man, woman, child and other residing in the state had watched the game, that would make up.......... about 44% of the games 6.45 million viewers.

I would imagine that the demographics would skew to the Southeast, though, for a game played in Memphis between two southern teams.


No data available on how many Arkansans own TV sets.

You guys don't understand Razorback football and fans. If there are 2.85 million people in Arkansas, just about 2.85 million were watching the Liberty Bowl, myself included who is a rabid SMU fan!

Actually Judge I think more likely there were 60,000 in the stands and 940,000 outside the stadium trying to get a ticket. So only about 1.85 million were watching on TV.
