This commercial of the week goes to BMW’s new 3 Series ad. This advertisement really strikes a chord with BMW enthusiasts while also being memorable and catchy to the the average viewer. Simple yet affective.

Ever since picking up my part time writing position for bucknuts.com, I have constantly wondered if I had the skill, knowledge, and ability to be a full time college football writer. After reading Jon Wilner’s top 25, its pretty apparent it doesn’t take much and that this career path is indeed very possible. This morning […]

Although this commercial is somewhat of an inside joke (a spoof on an earlier incident), the Fowler Toyota commercial might be the most genius advertisement of 2007. Rewind two weeks ago to when Mike Gundy, the Oklahoma State football coach, went on a long mean spirited tirade at the expense of a local journalist. The […]

This Cnn article points out that Yang Huiyan is China’s richest person with a net worth of 16.2 billion dollars. You usually don’t find that many woman on forbes.com wealthiest lists but what was […]

The below video is taken from the post game press conference of the Oklahoma State vs Texas Tech game. This was one of the best games of the entire weekend but oddly Mike Gundy did not want to discuss his teams’ triumph but rather express his rage in an article written by a local reporter. […]

2 commercials this week really impressed me. First prize goes to the Madden “Field Generals” ad which many people call the Madden “Life got in the way”. Madden’s popularity as a video game really hit an upsurge in the late 90’s and continued through the new millenium. Many young Gen X and older Gen Y […]

It […]

You can imagine I am writing this with a shit-eating grin on my face. Today something historic happened in the world of college football where Div 1 AA Appalachian State shocked the world by beating 5th ranked Michigan in the Big House.

Besides the cost of living, the only other drawback to living in the Bay Area is the lack of passion surrounding college football. It’s well documented that the Bay Area and New York City are the two least enthused and engaged urban areas when it comes to college football. Its really a shame. Despite the […]

Since I have done two out of three of my drafts, I will share my thoughts on best practices for your upcoming draft. First Round Thoughts: I am seeing a lot of drafts where […]
