Michigan Versus Hawaii Football Game

...

I am not sure, but these are the ones I could not figure out what audience they were targeting. Who would prefer a Capital One Venture card, and Experian credit report (figured this might be all groups), AT&T, Bank of America credit card, Dr. Pepper, Direct TV, Furniture World, Holiday Inn Express, Home Depot, Ice breakers breath mints, Town Square bank, Maaco – auto-body shop, Starbucks, Time Warner, United Bank and of course the commercials reminding everyone that there are going to be playoffs sometime in the near future and to keep watching.

As you can tell, I am not a sports watcher, I have better things to do with my time than spend hours and I do mean “hours” in front of the TV screen watching everyone that is watching the game. Although, I do have to say the interesting parts for me were when they talked about the coach of Michigan Jim Harbaugh and his summer. He ran into Jerry Springer at Disney world, a number of football camps around the country, including one in Hawaii, took in a Nascar race, did a rap video and threw out the first pitch at a Rigley’s field.

Or when they were showing one of the students from Hawaii that was a walk-on. He was afraid of heights and they told him to go up to the tallest diving board at the swimming pool and when he got up there, he found his letter where they gave him a full ride to college. The kicker was, if he wanted to accept, he had to jump off the high dive. Of course, he did and all the other team mates jumped in to congratulate him.

I do not watch football, but after seeing the same commercials over and over, you get an idea of which are the most dominant for sports games. One that I thought was interesting was the Buick Encore commercial, that being one of the high end items, I really didn’t think they needed 4 of them during a 3 hours game. The rest that had a lot were Popeyes Chicken, Cadillac, Papajohns Pizza, ESPN Playoff game commercials and Toyota South.
