their Head Coach and starting QB are also doing commercials

I agree and do the same.

Yeah I'd be curious to understand how the deals work between licensing schools' trademarks and advertising...basically who pays who for the extra exposure.

This season there was a big step up in this across the board in ads. IMO it's just part & parcel of all the t-shirt fans they're farming for CFB.

Basically the number of fans with no actual school loyalty now >>> number of fans (like me) who will boycott brands that get in bed like that with their rivals.

Welcome to 21st century CFB, kids. It's gonna be just like FIFA and the NBA.

Why don't we reach out to big corporations and try to appear in ads? I think it would be great for marketing. Wells Fargo is a low-hanging fruit, since they're already one of our major sponsors.

Edit: Ford, Old Dominion, Pepsi, Gatorade, Dos Equis, and Seat Geek are other big ones, from the 12th Man website's sponsorship list.

Well, this just proves where some of that NIL money is coming from since the sips are paying their players over $36 million in NIL money.

Im sure Allstate is crying themselves to sleep knowing they lost you as a customer.

If I boycotted everything that offended me, I would be living on the streets. Thankfully I'm not hurt by a commercial and this Aggie family will stick with Allstate.

Guess no one remembers the 2002 2003 ESPN commercial with the kids in the backyard throwing Hook'em.

This isnt a new thing. Why get bent out of shape over it.

Why give them a benefit for it? There are plenty of alternatives.

There is nothing cowboy bout sip. They're ghey. The prefer cock over Glock. Love themselves some redheads and DEI candidates who've only worshipped a cow in their lives

That's exactly what's being detailed in this thread


Terrible advertising has lead to other providers being chosen



Do you know what capitalism means?

Horns are a national brand, A&M is a regional brand. Just the way it is

Tito's is persona non grito.

I never drink Bud Light anyway, but I won't be drinking any for sure now. Won't be going to see Shane Gillis either (although I believe he is a Notre Dame fan).

I can't believe the horns would be stupid enough to team up with bud light……..oh wait…..

Anyone think Horns fans gave a damn when the commercial ran last year showing the Aggie tailgate and the Tennessee fan walking through timidly until he showed them he had the right beer or whatever the ad was peddling?

Because the people who make the marketing decisions have no clue about their customers. Chances are they're women or effeminate nerds who have never played a team sport.

Hence t.u. and bud lite are a perfect fit.

Free market. My $$ can go where I choose for it to go. If a company uses tu as a marketing device then my $$ will go elsewhere. Plenty of other choices in beer & insurance.

It's not getting bent out of shape, it's just stating you have the ability to walk to the next door down the street and get comparable insurance from another company that doesn't outwardly take a side/state an affiliation.

You're talking about most all of the D1 schools here in Texas you're taking a chance of alienating and driving away from your business.

As Michael Jordan noted both repubs and dems buy shoes.

Don't be naive.
They have enough data on you to know what time you're taking your next dump before you know.

Wrong. It's only that way because the small number of decision-makers (perhaps starting with ESPN) have decided that's the way it will be.

We don't have to sit still for that, or accept it as "just the way it is." But every day that we sit here and (don't pressure our leaders to) do something about it, the time it'll take to reverse gets a little longer.
