Georgia fans living in the Atlanta area have all seen the advertisements over the last few years for Georgia Tech football season tickets. The Yellow Jackets like to run these ads during Braves games and I find it pretty sad that they have to basically beg their fans to buy season tickets. As pathetic as these ads are, at least they look to be pretty well done with at least someone who took classes in marketing and advertising working on them.
On the other hand, you have advertisements for Georgia's first opponent of the 2010 season, Louisiana-Lafayette. I have heard that they are trying to brand themselves as just Louisiana..are they trying to profit off of LSU's name? I know they certainly do not have the budget of even an ACC school like Georgia Tech, but this is just pathetic:
Couldn't they at least have put some pictures up behind the people instead of a plain yellow background? At least they were right in calling the game against Kansas State a rematch (they had lost 45-37 the year before). The Ragin' Cajuns beat the Wildcats 17-15 (my god, how bad was K-State?)

ID RATHER KEEP IT AT BASHING TEC AND GAYTORS. ATLEAST CAJUNS IS TRYING.
HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS!
ha, "get your tickets at the Cajun-Dome!"
Ward, I think you were a little hard on the beaver. I'm with Confederate Dawg. Let's stick to bashing the real teams.
as opposed to the stupendous "Party in the UGA" your coach was in recently...talk about glass houses
Streit,
I was thinking exactly what Anon 10:46 posted there...
I just ran across this video the other day when I was looking for some Lafayette highlights for a later post and I thaught it was funny. I don't care if they are a small school, the video it self was bad. I don't have an advertising degree, but i can tell you that if you are trying to sell football tickets, maybe you should show some highlights of the football team. And who cares about the orientation video, it was made by the orientation leaders (probably as a side project). It was not designed to try and sell tickets to a money making spot like football and it was not designed to run on local television. As ridiculous as it was, its purpose and target audience were a whole different story.
When did everyone get so defensive anyway?
I THOUGHT PARTY IN THE USA WAS FINE, IT WAS A JOKE AND WAS MENT TO BE AWFUL. I JUST MENT I LIKE BASHIN GAYTORS MORE. THANKS FOR THE CAJUNS VIDEO AND ALL THE INFO YOU GIVE US ON THEM DAWGS.. WASNT TRYING TO COMPLAIN
I know very little about marketing, and I'm not going to say their commercial sucked...but compared to what JSU was able to put together for a small-time market...well, yeah their spot sucked by comparison.
