I thought the same thing and I was looking for the next screen to say:

AND THAT IS JUST IN THE DORMS!!!!!

[Matt]

the fact that someone high up in our Marketing department saw that commerical and approved it is bad enough....

BUT...

it aired for a whole year against all of the other schools that we played and we ALWAYS had the worse commerical of the two....

THEN...

it runs again the following year.

TERRIBLE

I agree that it needs to be updated but at least it's not as bad as the one they used to play before this one...

USF - Worst commercials in college football. 

FAMU and Bethune Cookman have better commercials

honestly-- this is almost as important to me as the great helmet/uniform debates

I'm either at the game, getting a beer during the commercial, or fast forward the dvr through the commercial=--- WHO THE HELL CARES?

The commercials are what people watching the game and too lazy to change the channel know about the university. 

Marketing department is crap.

Mike- I guess you don't get it then.

The purpose of this commercial is to promote USF on a national level to a national audience and maybe have a few out of state students look into coming to school here.

It helps with making USF more prestigious on the national level and helps all USF alumni advance further in their career by adding more recognition to their degree.

It is far more important than how visually pleasing our Uniforms are.

In a lot of cases- the only thing the national football audience knows about the academics of our university come from these commercials. 

To continuously run some 2nd rate, garage chop shop commercial makes us look foolish.  especially those of us who graduated from USF with a degree in Mass Communications.  We have CURRENT students who could put together a better commercial.
