It's that time of year again: the great college football pause between the last of the games and the start of the bowls. Everyone is still buzzing with college football interest, even though the Heisman campaign is a foregone conclusion. What's a college foots fan to do?
An essential college football blog, Every Day Should Be Saturday, has decided to profile, in a multi-part series, ads that universities show during football games. In part the first they examined an ad that was about as successful as George Michael swinging the broom around in his campaign against Steve Holt.
Today they examined one of the all-time favorites: The Michigan ad that, even now, rarely fails to silence a bunch of us. It's really that good, but I always assumed that we were just indulging in a touch of vanity when we'd stop to watch it, and invariably comment on what a sweet PSA it was.
But the good folks at EDSBS think it kicks ass, too. In a laugh-out-loud writeup, no lesss. I'd excerpt some of it here, but it's worth it to just go and see for yourself.

Michigan engineers, baby, the ad makes me proud to be an alum. Always worthy of extra hype for the nerds!
We all know I NEVER say anything nice about Michigan, but I do remember seeing that during the Ohio State-Michigan game, and even then, with my bloodlust towards all things navy-and-goldenrod at a white hot pitch...even I remarked to a fellow Buckeye partisan, "Wow, that's really freaking impressive."
