Cajuns CFP billboards around town

[Turbine]

I love it. Its a clever way to advertise the fact that we're in the conversation without opening yourself up to looking stupid by doing our usual "we're one of the big boys too!"

I'm assuming the billboards will update when/if Army loses to Notre Dame.

This is how you play the game in the 21st century. Do something goofy that catches on and hope it goes viral.

"Know your place" marketing will not inspire a single person to attend Saturday.

The dumb and dumber as a player i almost be Pi$&ed! What you really saying is all the hard work and all this effort in winning is telling you we dont have any chance!!

Props for doing it but its dumb marketing to put that dumb and dumber its like agreeing that we deserve to be exactly where we are and there is no hope!

Maybe who ever does marketing is secretly a TSAB fan come on people.

You discredited the whole thing by putting that on there.

I agree with putting the 9% that is saying we are in the hunt that is all self explanatory. No need to further elaborate.

If i am selling my school or a recruiter say we have a chance to compete for this title, but then in the second breath we probably do not have a chance in hell to get it ? So what are we really saying you just discredited yourself by saying that! Really Folks?

If I own a seafood restaurant and say we have.a 9% we will be in the National Seafood Cook off and we have. 9% in competing for the best seafood in the nation thats just being honest, but in the second breath you say we have no chance in being invited( dumb and dumber gif) you just discredit anything you just said!! I wouldn’t sell any product that way!! You just talked yourself out of a sell!

Thats what they did!!

I am not moving the goal post, those are just facts!!

You lost me. We have a 9% chance of being invited. That's what the billboard says.

Putting the Dumb and Dumber thing is stupid!! Why would you further elaborate. I edited it .

Because people will see Jim Carrey on a billboard and actually read it, as opposed to something like "come to our regularly scheduled programming at Cajun Field!"

I'm not saying it's perfect -- I'm just saying that I like them taking a non-traditional approach. The people you're trying to lure to these games DO NOT take UL football anywhere near as serious as you guys do.

Maybe you right! Maybe so.

Its like the Natty Ice thing very smart, it might be the right play more that i think about it.

Billboard company...Bass, did this, not the university...

[jaxmc1023]

That makes sense. It did seem odd that the university may have had one original thought when it comes to marketing itself.

Oh well, back to: "We have game at Game O'Clock, against Game Team! See you there!"

You’re spot on! The only problem, and this is being nit picky, “G5 Playoff Spot” is a term coined by the media. It actually doesn’t exist.

But overall this is a good advertisement to have around town.
