ADVERTISING INNOVATIONS FOR GREATER GOOD OF FOOTBALL NATION

Companies should just buy whole teams!

Tyson’s Longhorns
Wolf brand Chili Wolfpack
Big Red Import’s Sooners
Lady of the Lake’s Illin… er… redacted
Zataran’s Tigers
Jiff’s Buckeyes.

Spartan’s Spartans
Trojan’s Trojans
KY Jelly’s KY Wildcats

University of Michigan Defense > Nuclear Missiles now, eh?

Logo’s projected onto the playing surface makes sense too.

AND as I have mentioned before, ads DURING play give YouTube clips value to advertisers, as their logos are viewed potentially years beyond the actual game date. This should make networks want to ENCOURAGE YouTubing their product as opposed to potentially litigating against it.

I think it makes perfect sense for America’s biggest sport to emulate the world’s biggest sport in terms of production. The sponsored half idea is brilliant. I’d much rather have the 3 Dave’s at JP/Lincoln Financial/Raycom talk about Yellawood than have to watch those commercials…

And how about the “Chop Block of the game sponsored by ”http://www.drlikover.com/oxford_knee.html" rel="nofollow">The Oxford® Unicompartmental Knee System"

1. The whole SEC just invested thousands of dollars into that.

I thought that halftime already WAS sponsored.

I will say that I signed up during the Peach Bowl for my free chick-fil-a gift card, then when i went to the store with it, it didnt work. Fucking douches.

Just have every single football move sponsored.

“Stafford takes the Slim Jim Snap out of the Browning Shotgun formation, rolls to his right like John McCain for President 2008, and fires a US Air Force pass to a wide open Verizon Wireless receiver for a Charles Schwab Gain of almost 45 Miracle-Gro yards!”

Brian,

 I think the halftime “commentary” is sponsored…. as in Pontiac paid to have ABSPN/CBS plaster them emblem on a 40 inch LCD while they give updates. Not the halftime itself.

It’s complicated, really.

Just throw an ad in between every play. Have the announcers insert them.

“And Tebow keeps and powers down to the four! Speaking of power, you can conserve some every day by ensuring the lights are off in unoccupied rooms.” Boom! PSAs covered.

“He wings it downfield, and it’s over everyone’s head. If you want to wing it, just head on down to BW3. Good food, and good folks: BW3.”

“They’re gonna get ’em for holding here. And hey, if you want to hold off stains try Spray ’n Wash. Remove tough stains the first time with Spray ’n Wash.”

Etc.

Put logos on the announcer’s foreheads. Make them take their clothes off and tattoo branding on their bodies. Brent Musberger could attach rolling ad space to his eyeglasses.

My best idea ever:

Naming rights for every game.

I can hear it now…Welcome to Birmingham, SEC fans, to the 2008 US Steel Iron Bowl…Welcome to Los Angeles, College Football fans, to the 2008 ND-USC game brought to you by the Friends of Barack Obama….Welcome to Columbus, Big Ten fans, to the 2008 Big Game sponsored by UAW, who reminds you to buy American…Welcome to Boise to the Idaho Potatoes game between your BSU Broncos and the Fresno State Bulldogs…So many possibilities…So many that could be funny, but I’m not thinking of them…aarrrrgh…

What would be the potential ad cost for the rights to Erin’s bust?

While we’re at it, let’s have the Fulmer Cup sponsored by Keystone Light, Remington, Robitussin, and sweet, sweet methamphetamine.

#14, nice try, but the BATF already sponsors it.

Terry Bowden can do live ads for Ore-Ida Tater Tots. And-

The USCe Eat Mor Chikins
The ASU Sun Valley Idaho Devils
The Dook Blue Emu Devils
The Miami Pat O’Brien’s Hurricanes
The Tulane Jolly Green Giant Wave

The possibilites are endless for corporate America.

. . . when they implement all these things AND continue to cut plays without cutting 30 second ads. . . we are all coming for you, Swindle.

Mangino can do promos for quadruple heart bypass surgeons, portable defibrillators, etc.

Why is uncle Vern advertising for my favorite Chinese restaurant? Strange, seems more like a Ruth Chris kind of guy.

This week’s Alabama Game is brought to you by Nick Saban’s Grey Suit Warehouse!

By the way, Nick Saban doesn’t have time for this shit!

Bama could be sponsored by Lasik surgeons, since they’re kind of blind anyways.

The “NASCARification” of college football? GENIUS!

Let’s just sell the naming rights to Tim Tebow. I’ve always wanted my Heisman trophy winner to have the first name O-S-C-A-R and my Heisman trophy winner to have a second name and it be M-A-Y-E-R.

Why stop with the announcers? You could have a patch of green-screen cloth on the players’ uniforms and rotate ads that way. Hell, you could dial it to the player – like Anthony Morelli being a billboard for Tylenol against Michigan in 2006, or any ND QB last year. Perriloux would have been perfect for Harrah’s and the like.

Hell, why not do the same thing with the coaches? Ben-gay and burma shave ads on JoePa, for instance, bail bondsmen ads on Phil Fulmer, White Castle on Charley Weis, etc. My man Pete “The Humanitarian” Carroll could alternate between

Of course Weis and Mangino would have an unfair advantage, but life is like that sometimes.

finishing my though, Pete Carroll could alternate between energy drinks and UNICEF.

finishing my thought dammit.

This whole ad thing could really take off…. I imagine Arkansas games sounding like – “And Bobby Petrino signals in the play from the sideline, and remember fans, he came to Fayetteville on Delta Air’s Under the Cover of Darkness Special.. you too can flee any job you cant find your way out of just like Petrino, Go Delta, Go Hawgs!”

Gentlemen,

I do this for a living. I agree with #17: Trust me, this is not a pandora’s box we wish to open. Although…. I could probably score tickets that way.

Concept on, folks!

ps Shouldn’t SEC commercials only take about 28 seconds with our speed advantage?

Who needs ads? Tubs can just stand on the sidelines holding a bag of Golden Flake and Urb can hold a bottle of Simply Orange. Problem solved.

Those are all great ideas, so none of them would ever be implemented let alone considered.

In Spaish, Mexican, Argentine, and other soccer leagues they superimpose digitally onto the TV screen what look like those scrolling ads on either side of the goal- kind of tricky to explain if you haven’t seen it, but they can do that as well AS LONG AS NONE OF THAT SHIT IS ON THE FIELD OF PLAY. I can’t handle a giant FedEx down & distance arrow superimposed over the field every play. Keep that shit to the side.

Welcome to LSU……brought to you by Fleet Foot Bail Bonds……when you or your players need to get out of jail…..fast !

‘Fans we remind you the next time youre being sued for breach of contract, do what Rich Rodriguez does, give Schiester and Fraud Legal Council a call… they dont get paid unless you win!’

which is also inevitable going to lead to -

‘There we see Rich Rodriguez on the sidelines, and fans remember, when you need to pay a huge debt, give Cash Time Title Loans a call.. a home phone and a car title can get you the money you need! Cash Time Title Loans, found in most neighborhoods without banks…’

the thing about all these ideas is that they won’t take the place of any existing ones…that’s something we should have all figured out by now.

The comercials will never ever ever ever get shorter…ever. Simple. CFB has ‘sold is soul’ so to speak (the rose bowl, the heisman, ect.)…we don’t have an Fing playoff because of money, why would anyone give a shit about the actual games if they don’t amount to anything anyway? Other than kick all blogs like this one and piss poor ones like mine.

Ok, i changed my mind, i’m good with the ads.

Come on, Orson. Michigan’s defensive front isn’t harder to stop than a ballistic missile. It just, you know, looked that way.
