I saw a commercial on ESPN for FAU football season tickets…very fast paced.  Could have slowed down the images a little bit, especially of the stadium.  Also, saw a bus in Broward county with FAU season ticket advertisement on the side.

Nice post, ad is not bad but I don't know about using a pic of the QB on there, did'nt do anything to sell ticket did he! I would have gone with a WR/TE making a great catch maybe!

Not sure how many tickets a photo of Graham Wilbert is going to sell; although I also understand the proclamation of Seniors as well.

Does anyone outside of the FAU family know who Graham Wilbert is??  NO!  It doesn't matter who they put on the advertisement, they are pushing the overall program, the stadium, a local alternative to going to unincorporated Dade county…

Awesome photo - thanks! I've seen the billboard but not the bus ads.

(Still think it's a little counterproductive to use Graham Wilbert to sell FAU football … but yeah, I guess it doesn't matter)

This.  People will bitch and complain about anything on this board.

Forum Poster:  Hey look, some PR for the program.
Owl's Nest response: Yeah, but it could/should have been (insert random bitchassness here).

After the season is over, we can use MGIII's picture.  ;D But at least there is advertising out there for the season.

Just to clarify:

My +1 was for the post, the response was to explain why he was chosen.

I think what Tom D'Angelo wrote fits perfectly write here.

Agreed, no need for anyone to bitch and moan .  I think we should all be ecstatic over the fact that they are getting the word out with some rather expensive advertising mediums.
