SLATE GETS IN ON THE UNIVERSITY COMMERCIAL BIT

EDSBS--trendsetter!!! In addition to setting the popular trend of starting a scarcely read college football blog, we're also giving the big boys grist for their mills. Slate gets in on the university commercial analysis in a breezy sketch of university ads. We thank them for finding more links, which we will shamelessly use in future articles. Gracias, muchachos!

Bitches stole your shit! I would love for Indiana University’s ad to read, “We keep the sexual experimentation going. Kinsey in the 40’s 50’s and 60’s poro movies in the 90’s….see what we can do to you next.”

“Adopt the language of debt-consolidation commercials.” Man, they nailed it. I’m amazed UVA’s commercials don’t run during afternoon episodes of “Cops.”

By far the worst is Nebraska’s early-90’s era graphics fly through of some sort of “micro-computer”, leading nearly any viewer to think they’re seeing a new ITT Tech ad…

Anybody catch Utah’s promo video yesterday? Two words: Pathetic! They show a medical helicopter bringing a patient to a hospital (presumably University of Utah). Then they show doctors working on a patient and finally the patient learning to walk again.
Now, I have no problems with Rehab (trust me!), but to put that in the spotlight for a recruiting video on national tv?

Come to Utah – some religious fanatic with 16 kids and 3 wives will run you over with his Chevy Suburban (a.k.a. Mormon-mobile) and you’ll get airlifted to our hospital and re-learn to walk! AND our beer is severly watered down to aforementioned fanatic’s legislation! Go Utes!

DAMN disappointed that slate didn’t give my alma mater the “space, bitches” treatment like you did…

Being that you guys are Gators, I would expect you guys to have a post about the ads from your alma mater and the university I plan to attend. Better late than never, I guess.

I can’t wait to read your analysis on the ads from University of Florida’s “The Foundation for The Gator Nation” campaign.

Go Gators!
