Jaybird Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Apparently ESPN and College Gameday are doing a contest to see where they are going to film a commercial this summer. It is decided by a fan vote that apparently starts on Monday April 23rd at 12 noon ET. The following is a link to the Facebook page.

knapplc Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 And here I thought ESPN couldn't be more vain. "Beg for us to come to your campus. Show us how loved we are." :vomit: 1 Quote Link to comment
Jaybird Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Agreed, I despise ESPN as well. If it weren't that they do a pretty good job at televising college football and have a lot of it I would not watch it nearly as much. They have lost all credibility in actually being a news organization. They are all for entertainment. Other outlets like Yahoo are now my source for sports news. I only watch games on ESPN now.

Blackshirts007 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 in any case, it would be cool to have a commercial filmed here, we are usually good at voting, this is no different Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I only watch games on ESPN, too. I consume none of their other programming. It's just so much schlock. I know I'm being a curmudgeon griping about Gameday/ESPN. It's the hip thing at the moment. But that's mostly because no other organizations have gotten off their duff and made an attempt at creating an alternative. Hopefully that changes. Soon. Quote Link to comment
Jaybird Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 It is tough to go against the almighty ESPN. I really hope that FOX and other outlets can start bringing about programming that is worth watching to directly compete with the ENTERTAINMENT and Sports Programming Network. All they do is create news and begin controversy. They have zero credibility now that they are in bed with everyone, Texas and USC etc! Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'll vote as long as they promise the commercial will include Bo yelling at Herbstreit and Herbstreit peeing his pants and crying like a little girl 3 Quote Link to comment

Using facebook as a proxy adds a layer of complexity that goes beyond spoofing a few ip addresses. Is "hacking for Huskers" considered white hat or black hat? Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hmmm another poll Nebraska will win where Herbstreit will cry about Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I thought the commercial 'Yes Man' was enough. Oh wait. That was a commercial for USC. Nevermind. Quote Link to comment

It'sNotAFakeID Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'd like for them to shoot a commercial on our campus, I would love it more if we could get them to town for Michigan @ Nebraska. Hopefully we can hold up our end of the bargain. Quote Link to comment
