The Cyclone could totally whip all of those mascots. Maybe not a hurricane though...
I always wondered what the boulder was too.
I only saw the second one on tv...is it bad I found it funny even though I didn't have a clue what it was about?
The rock is from Slippery Rock University in PA (at least that's my best guess). Their mascot used to be a rock (hence the rolling rock in this commercial) but I think now its a Lion called "Rocky II" :)
I think that the rock is a representaion of a Georgetown Hoya. I remember several years ago during the NCAA BB tournament that the term "hoya" was defined as Latin for "what rocks!". Excerpt from Wikipedia attached below.
Athletics
Main article: Georgetown Hoyas

The school's sports teams are called "the Hoyas". Many years ago, students well-versed in the classical languages invented the mixed Greek and Latin chant of "hoya saxa", translating roughly as "what (or such) rocks!" Eight years after the foulding of The Hoya student newspaper, a campus sports writer began to refer to teams as the "Hoyas" rather than as the "Hilltoppers".
The "rock" is definately the Buckeye from tOSU.
This brings to mind of a conversation I had once. What mascot would win a fight. Dan Patrick talked about it last year during March Madness but the Cyclones weren't included. Who could beat a Cyclone?
I don't think Heisman and Georgetown or Slippery Rock are usually mentioned in the same sentences.
shaaaaaa-wing!
-keep.
Probably just a Hurricane.Quote:

In the second ad, it's mostly in the background of the shot since it's so huge. It's somewhat visible in the first and third shots, and more visible against the sky in the gap between the skyscrapers front and center.
Funny commercials. I like the Mountaineer and the Volunteer constantly ambushing each other. What are the yellowjackets representative of? Wasps? Hornets?
If I was going to send a Hurricane after you, it would destroy a whole town. If I sent a Cyclone, it would just get you and your house. (Not that I would want to). I think a Cyclone would win just because of the pinpoint accuracy.Quote:

Georgia Tech Yellowjackets, I think, ornry?
Good point, CTAClone. It's a little like the whole, "Who would win in a fight, Batman or Superman?" debate. I'm never great at those, either. (Mostly because I don't read comic books, but I digress...)
Just in case anyone asks, Superman would win.Quote:
