Born On the Buy You

I knew it would happen, but I had money on someone like Tech or South Carolina first, not a team like LSU who I’d imagine should have enough money for their football program. They are, after all, a college football “blue blood”, amirite?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’ll be a company that sells alcohol.

The Advocate writes: “LSU has mapped out where the patches would go on every jersey, from cross country to football. Most of them would appear on the chest in purple and gold.” Meanwhile, a program official said the school doesn’t want to have “some crazy, NASCAR-like situation,” meaning the advertisements are likely to be fairly self-contained.

Well, if you’re not first, you’re last.

  1. Slippery slope remains undefeated!
    I hope all college football fans recognize that, you can say you are just making it a little about the money, but once you let the dollar in, it becomes all about the money relatively quickly….
    Sad!
    (P.S. the Braves’ Quickcrete patch would seem to match the yellow in LSU’s uniforms, can’t wait to see it….)

  2. ESPN reporter asked the UGA QB “What was going through your head on the 4th down TD?”. UGA QB “All the support from Coca-Cola, Jim Beam and Solo cups pushed me to perform. I’d like to thank them and the ford motor company for getting me where I am today.”

    The Ivy League model looks better every day.

  3. ‘Chicos Bail Bonds’ from Bad News Bears

  4. It’s only a matter of time before the helmet logos are replaced with advertisements. Just look at NHL helmets to see what I mean. They’ll also remove any logos or team names from jerseys and replace them with ads too. Eventually it will be like watching soccer. The only way to know which team is which is if you’re already familiar with the jerseys.

  5. SEC game in Mexico next year. Book it. Expanding “the brand” will kill the sport.

  6. Looking forward to the refs being sponsored by Harrah’s, or DraftKings, or just cut out the middleman and make it the Gambino crime family…

    “SEC Officiating: Oh you didn’t like my call? FUCK YOU where’s my money?…”

    • I’d classify LSU as a blue blood. They started playing 1 year after Georgia. Both have 4 National titles, UGA has 1 more SEC Championship (17 to 16), and Georgia has a slightly better win percentage, a better bowl record and more division titles (13 to 10). If LSU isn’t a blueblood, then Georgia probably isn’t.

    • Same NMCTB. I don’t consider them blue bloods. Too many years of mediocrity or worse.
      And it doesn’t surprise the coon-assses would sell their souls (jerseys). Broke ass state and broke ass athletic program.

  7. I’d like to nominate this blog article title for the Hall of Fame

  8. Nike already has theirs but we will see how hard they protect the space… Ill bet we see Bar Stool, Draft Kings and Fan Duel pop up …
