Pretty sure AI could have made a better ad

Told my boss that if he had gotten his autograph it would've been worth a lot of money.

Did not get to watch the Heisman show Saturday night. 

As much as I love 'Nando -- I'm a little disappointed with his reaction to winning. I don't think it was very sportsmanlike (although I thought Pavia deserved what he got):

I have never seen an ad look so good in my entire life.

Fernando Mendoza gets a shoutout from Joe Buck on MNF after winning the Heisman Trophy. “Congratulations to Fernando Mendoza. I don’t know that a nicer young man from a better family has come along in a long time.”

LOL, I believe that he would celebrate with Dr. Pepper.  The Nissan Heisman House ads will be pretty good with his nice guy persona.  The ones with Travis Hunter had him playing Go Fish with himself seeing he was a 2-way player was pretty good as well as the one they presented him with his official Heisman picture.  Seeing him with Baker and Barry Sanders will be awesome as they joke around a lot.

So the 2025 Heisman Show drew an average of 4.3M viewers, with a peak of 5.8M.

This up 70%(!) over last year and it was the highest rated Heisman show since 2012.

It does help the show moved from ESPN to ABC this year, but still.  This is a monster rating!

Fernando's speech has 700K YouTube views, and some other snippets of the Heisman show probably push the total YouTube views close to 1M.

So with IUFB involved we've got record Big Ten Championship and very high Heisman Show TV ratings.  IUFB has some real juice in terms of our fans and the compelling/interesting nature of the program.  This is really great stuff.

He's only sorry that he got busted being a pr!ck. Not worth my time to continue trashing that d-bag.

McKay on Mendoza.

Just now realized had I put $100 on this at the beginning of the season I would've had $20 grand in my pocket.

Hopefully that is because they are all in the film room watching the next opponent and how we are going to get better :)
