The future is still only in South Korea

I thoughtthe future was here, but apparently that isn’t the case.Heroes of the Dorm, theHeroes of the Stormcollegiate tournament, failed to pull viable numbers on ESPN2, having an average viewership of 96,000 people. This meansHeroes of the Dormwas the third-least-viewed program on the network Sunday, failing to pull more viewers thanBassmasters Elite Series, a fishing tournament. Yup…

Foreven more comparison, the previous Sunday time slot has 313,000 viewers on a rerun of the30 for 30documentary about Bo Jackson. Ironically, Bo Jackson is no stranger to videogames, having been in the NES classicTecmo BowlandBo Jackson’s Hit and Runas well as more recent games likeMadden 15.
