There has been some responses to my recent post on the Louisiana-Lafayette season ticket advertisement. I was not trying to pick on the "little guy", I was just stating how bad the advertisement was. Just because they are a smaller school doesn't mean they can't have decent advertisements. Here are three examples from non-BCS schools of season ticket advertisements done right:
Arkansas State
San Diego State
Youngstown State
I mean, if a team that has a penguin as a mascot can get fans excited about football, I think any team can.

What's Worse than a Tech Football Ad?
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?)

See Bubba and Streit on TV: Masters of the Tailgate
A new television show, called Masters of the Tailgate, on the Versus Channel was in Athens on the weekened of the LSU game to tape segments for an episode detailing tailgating at UGA. David Hale mentioned the show in a blog post yesterday.
Bubba was chosen to be a contestant in what amounted to a tailgating obstacle course. Once the producer laid eyes on Bubba, he knew there was no better choice for the show. MT (frequent commenter here), told the producer that Bubba's name was Bluto, so that's what he's referred to on the show.

One of the last missions on the obstacle course was to catch a pass, and Streit had the honor of making a cameo by throwing the football to Bubba. He was a spitting image of David Greene, and you should be able to see for yourself on the show.
I've forgotten to DVR the previous episodes (filmed at Ohio State and Floriduh), so I don't know how they actually set up the show. However, I'm hoping it will be pretty funny. The crew members of the show were pretty cool, as well as one of the hosts being somewhat attractive (MASSIVE UNDERSTATEMENT).
The show is appearing on Versus today at 4:30p.m. Unfortunately, I haven't found any scheduled repeats. So, make sure you set your DVR.
If we can get a video of the episode, we will post the video (likely against the wishes of Bubba).
Until then, below are some pictures from Bubba's appearance. You can see most of the Bubba 'N Earl team and extended family in the background of the pics.
