Billboard Info Update

Per Rivals:

"Now the Vols are taking it to another level. Tennessee has purchased billboard advertisements touting the new era of Volunteers football under Kiffin and promoting the ubiquitously-talented Eric Berry. The images displayed on the billboards will be of both Kiffin and Berry. They will appear throughout the state of Tennessee, metro-Atlanta and South Florida beginning Aug. 1."

Now this is excitement. Kiffin really knows how to start a fire. I love it!!!!!

 

[rocks]

This could blow up in his face though... If UT goes 7-5 this and next year the billboards will be largely ignored. Much like the UCLA monopoly ad.

 

[TXA&M07]

Like those wont get vandalized. Cool idea, money spent foolishly.

 

[VOL RN]

This word ubiquitous, I don't think it means what he thinks it means.

 

[velovol]

I like it, and I like he plugged it on media day

Given the height of those billboards, I'm perfectly happy with UT spending the money simply for the chance idiot Florida fans will be placed in peril of a fatal fall when they try to vandalize them.

How would not putting up the billboards make back to back 7-5 seasons any better?

You are right. Not the proper word choice...

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

Simply awesome - There used to be an LSU billboard in Nashville, it pissed me off every time I passed it.

 

[SaluteToTheHill]

I will be in Florida that week, hope to see one.

Back-to-back? Wouldn't that imply we had one last year?

Did you read the post I was replying to?

 

[utdivermatt]

Did you read the post I was replying to?

I did. When did we go 7-5? I recall 5-7. 7-5 would have gotten us a trip to Memphis or Nashville for New Years.

Read it very slowly. The operative words are "this and next year."

 

[utdivermatt]

Did you read the post I was replying to?

Actually, I read it again. The first time I saw it as 'if we go 7-5 next year', and 'next year they will be largely ignored.' Typical accountants mistake.

If Kiffin is in charge of rule compliance, count on it facing south, along the southbound lanes.

 

[velovol]

it is a copycat league
so if this results in gator boards in the ut area then i will be pissed
its hard enough seeing the vandy ones.
