My Tigers Beat Down My Brother's Hokies

I went to LSU. My brother went to Virginia Tech. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a phone call more than the one I made this morning.

48-7.

I just had to tell him the final score, because he stopped watching in the second quarter. Just trying to be helpful.

Great win, but did you see the commercial touting your great school? I am not sure the opera style "Victory for LSUUUU!" is the best selection for a commercial airing during a football game.

No commercial is quite as lame as our school commercial last year. It looked like a commercial for the DeVry Institute.

Apparently nobody else saw the Appalachian State "Hot! Hot! Hot!" ad.

And so far, the best ad was during the LSU-Miss State game when ESPN ran an ad for Ole Miss instead. Because who on earth would go to Starkville if they could help it?

ah yes, thanks for reminding me about the legendary HOT HOT HOT ad. Some people think that Carolina grads have an undeserved superiority complex over the other NC state schools and then they go and do something like this to prove our point...

Wow, that YouTube was awful, but according to the comments it never actually aired on television. The commercial for the LSU Truck Driving Academy aired many, many times.

Speaking of awful commercials, did anyone see that commercial for the HD television where an eye is in some guy's chest. It was probably the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in any visual medium.
