Boston College's 14-10 win at Virginia Tech on Oct. 25 was the highest-rated Thursday night game ever on ESPN.
And that game went head to head with a Red Sox World Series game. If the Red Sox hadn't been playing we would have put up an even bigger number.
A few other notes from the article...
-- The nine game ACC football season was tabled for now
-- The GMAC Bowl in Mobile will be in the mix for future ACC teams

I thought the Rutgers - Louisville game from 2006 was the highest rated Thursday night game ever? I have been trying to dig up those numbers to verify. I am shocked that BC v VT beat that this year.
Great fact on the TV ratings, and something BC and Gene D need to play up. In addition, it's worth noting (again) that BC has now produced the highest TV ratings ever for each of the last three bowl games in which it's played:
2007 Champs Sports Bowl - 3.69 rating, 3.6M households; 2006 Meineke Car Care - 3.87 rating, 3.56M households; 2005 MPC Computers Bowl - 2.33 rating; all still the best-ever ratings for those bowls.
