I'm watching the Purdue-Arizona game on the watchESPN app and have noticed that they've switched their MNF commercial from Gruden and the crew on the field with couches and TVs, to a similar commercial but with random actors.

Maybe they have always had two commercials, but I have been watching a lot of basketball recently, seen a lot of MNF commercials, and this is the first time I've seen any version of that commercial without the MNF crew.

I’ve actually paid more attention to this as well. Not sure this is the case but the way my company use to purchase commercial spots was in frequency (500 over 1 week) or something similar. We were guaranteed a certain amount of prime time spots or preferred runs but the rest were played at the stations discretion. I’ve noticed the GMC MNF commercial running quiet a bit during all hours. To meet commitments per contract sometimes the network would run a bunch of the spots in bulk to meet the contract... could be happening?

Ok I posted this earlier and it immediately got buried in the list of counties so I'll post it one more time. I thought it was really interesting:

As soon as I posted, I thought to myself, oh, s***, he meant the state, not the university. Mea culpa.

I just don't buy that Currie flew to the university to talk to Peterson, who has a game this week, when Gruden was in the same state...

All good Squints!

Just got word it's done. Still waiting to see it to believe it. Austin Thomas has agreed to come back to UT. Gruden wanted Thomas bad and finally got him. It's coming together fellas. Let's win tomorrow and enjoy an unbelievable off season.

For those who don't know, Austin Thomas is a UT Grad who served on our staff as an assistant. He is currently the General Manager for LSU and is credited for locking down 5 star Jacoby Stevens to LSU one month after meeting him at a camp. Bama and UGA were at the same camp.

New thread, new folks, new bump.

Okay, OGs, Nuevo Gs, Nega Grudes, Catbone and all others. I am about to get pesky...

One of our own, Yankee Vol, author of the game threads, is doing another fundraising for St Judes and running a marathon. Last year, the Politics Forum outspent everyone to include (can't even believe I can say this) LG pitching in a significant amount.

I think we can not only do better, but smash his goal like Gruden is going to smash everyone in the SEC. His post & thread:

Fundraising for St. Jude's

(go to post 810

His St Jude Page:

St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend: Darrell Green - St. Jude Heroes | St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Here's the "rules." Please donate what you can if you would like, but most of us use our VN screen name as a way of support.

Let's not only hit his goal, but hammer that thing as hard as we can since it's for a really good cause.

Bump for good cause!

SOON!

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, but that's probably just me. I was just making the point that it's interesting that within the last two days we've had a bunch of people say Gruden is getting announced and now suddenly he's absent from the MNF commercials.
