New SU Commercial ... as seen during the Midway Classic

I enjoyed that ad when I saw it. I admit I rarely pay attention to ads for colleges during games, but this felt much different than any I've seen, largely due to the musical choice and editing. I think "edgy" is a pretty lame word to use in general, but this definitely felt like it had more of an edge to it than any other college ad I have seen.

By the way, what is that song? Any chance it's Lou Reed? I honestly only know a couple of his songs, but it seems like he's the perfect musician to feature in one of our ads.

Music: Head Held High, The Velvet Underground

Good, so it is Lou Reed. I'm glad they were smart enough to use him.

I loved it...though it seemed edited for time, I guess.
But it's "different" and shows all of the many personalities that are Orange.
Good stuff.

i think that is the best college commercial i have ever seen.

 

[jekelish]

You know, I just realized why I like it so much: it reminds me a TON of the Nike "Courage" commercial in the way it is cut:

 

[cuseguy]

Thanks. I was looking for that. Best SU commercial ever done.

 

[bnoro]

Proud to be in that commercial for a fraction of a second. (even if it is a clip from Mayfest...)

"Only 5,000 people ever heard the SU VU commercial, but each one of them started up their own university."

 

[OttoMets]

i think that is the best college commercial i have ever seen.

That seems a bold statement, but it jumped out at me on Sunday. I can't think of another one that's better than this. It's terrific.

 

[Col. Bleep]

It's a nice spot.
They even worked in a shot of Lou Reed.
The only negative: some people won't be recognized and people won't realize they're all alumni.

You might be the first person to appear in a promotional commercial for their University while at least 10 beers deep.

 

[jekelish]

Ok, I can't be the only one wondering where bnoro is in said video.

And Dan - you must realize any crowd shot of a sporting event features many people at least 10 beers deep.

Fair, his isn't a crowd shot though.

Also, just found myself in a crowd shot, which is nice because I was feeling super left out.

Ya, leagues better than that hokey and cliche'd 'kid guitar pick nonsense.

 

[DoctorBombay]

Better than this?!

"My name is Diego Montoya. I went to UConn. Prepare to die".

 

[BlackKnight76]

Ya, leagues better than that hokey and cliche'd 'kid guitar pick nonsense.

UConn ads are always comically bad.

From Hoya Suxa:

 

[BlackKnight76]

...and one more because there's a one video limit per post apparently

 

[reedny]

UConn ads are always comically bad.

From Hoya Suxa:

harsh. (It's burger king. You're late for work"). lol. Almost as harsh as sending us 141 tickets to a 20,000 seat arena and giving the rest away to the homeless.

VU guitarist Sterling Morrison also went to SU.
