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 […]

I know I probably overkill my love for my alma mater, Ohio State, but thought this was a Benkoo.com worthy mention. 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. […]

Down the road I wouldn’t mind specializing in Generation Y media and marketing concepts. Anyways I stumbled upon the below video. David Gillette is new to me but I am quickly becoming a big […]

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 […]

Below is a link to my weekly Column on bucknuts, Koo’s News. http://www.bucknuts.com/news/story.php?article=1633 Although the first half is OSU focused, the second half of the article is a good read for all college football fans. Without a doubt the game that has most fans excited is the the showdown between LSU and Virginia Tech although […]

This weeks commercial of the week goes to the new Miller High life commercial titled $11.50 Hamburger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBYrdi1vEAI Although I have never met anyone on this earth who has this beer in their top five beers, the commercial does a great job portraying the High Life as being the beer for the average joe. 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. Never before had a D1 AA team beaten a ranked team, but the […]

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 […]

I always go on rants about good and bad commercials. With that in mind I am going to start a new feature on my site where I give an enthusiastic thumbs up or thumbs down to new commercials. The innagural commercial goes to Roger Clemens’ new Cingular ad (this will be the last distinction he […]

I consider myself a connoisseur of television commercials. I am not one of those people who only distinctly remember commercials that are purely funny, but also give credit to those that hit their mark in product awareness/education/differentiation or those that do a great job with company positioning and branding. With that in mind I will […]
