Not a huge fan of UT's. We have a huge stadium, a Navy, Eric Berry, and a ton of other stuff they could have focused on instead

Yea, they should have either:

1. Jus played the Eric Berry rap video.

2. Have some type of slow paced classical music with the camera slowly zooming up from the river during a night game, going past the boats, up past the scoreboard, and above the stadium. Then show the take it all in slogan.

There, I just made UT's commercial good.

Liked LSU's, MSU's, Ole Miss', A&M's, and I guess South Carolina's.

Arkansas' and Alabama's were terrible, Auburn's, Kentucky's and Vandy's were meh, and Missouri's and Tennessee's were easily the worst.

And it's hard to say this without it being seen as bias but Georgia fan or not I think they did UGA's the best. Cause, Larry, brah.

I feel like more creativity is needed on ALL of them.

I "think" they tried to encompass all aspects of the conference. Major tailgating (OM), mascots (LSU/Arky/aTm), on-campus traditions (AU rolling), fight songs (UT), baseball (MSU), basketball (UK/VU), football (UA/UGA), rabid fans in the stands (FLA/USC). I'm having a tough time with the Mizzou clip.

Auburn's commercial could be cool if not for the crappy camera crap they comically used in covering the campus.

I didn't mind the UT ad; it conveys fans' passion being passed from generation to generation and how it is a part of everyday life. It will also appeal to many fans who lack a Y chromosome.

My issue is much larger. It will be very hard to rid the universe of the god-awful "woo" that now permeates Rocky Top unless these mommas stop including it when they sing to their babies.

I didn't like ours. A basketball court? That's it?

I really didn't like ours. We're maybe 3% corps. The 55,000 non-corps students who aren't weirdo dorks were not represented. Annoying that we can't move on from having them as the face of our university.

1. It's closer to 5%.

2. There's more wierdo dorks in the A&M student body than in the entire Corps of Cadets. You really think that, out of a student body of over 55,000 that at least 10% aren't dorks...on a COLLEGE CAMPUS?

This will probably never happen, so you might as well get comfortable with it.

I would have liked something about the 12thMan or Midnight yell instead tbh. I hated that bitch when I was there.

The best ones are Tenn, A&M, and LSU. I really like LSU, because Mike is so beautiful, and the only reason that I weather the storm to go to the Bama/LSU game, because I like to see him.
Georgia should have used UGA, everyone likes UGA.
I really don't like the Bama one. I mean I wear houndstooth, but it's not our colors, and probably doesn't mean a lot to a lot of people that don't understand why we wear it.

I see a lot of people who say A&M had a good one. Can you explain why you liked it? I thought it was awful and not representative of the school we are (oldest, largest flagship university established by the Texas constitution).

Ours is so bad I thought it was fake when I first saw it because it didn't look like any of the other ones.

They literally just took part of the Big Blue Madness broadcast from last year.

Visually, I liked Auburn's the best, but it would have much better if the song had anything to do with the school. Would have been a great ad for Oklahoma if they rolled their trees...

They do roll their trees, but too damn skinny and way too long.
