Week 1 of College Football 2011

 

Week 1 of college football proved to be an interesting one with a few upsets, as expected. #14 TCU fell to Baylor 50-48 and South Florida upset #16 Notre Dane 23-20. While I really wouldn’t call it an upset, but #4 LSU took down #3 Oregon. Those SEC teams are tough as usual and the conference is very strong this year with 6 teams still in the AP Top 25 after the first full week of football. My Mississippi State Bulldogs look promising routing Memphis 59-14 and are now ranked #16.

With Tropical Storm Lee coming through the Southeast this weekend, Saturday was a great day to kick back and watch some College football games. While watching, I saw many different spirit items including thundersticks and mini footballs.

These school spirit items are not only great for college teams, but also for high school and middle school football teams. They make great fundraisers to help raise money for new uniforms, equipment, and field maintenance.

Middle Finger Etiquette

 

Custom printed foam middle fingersWhen is the middle finger acceptable to use in your business practice?  My first response would be never.  My second response would also be never.  Although we have sold foam middle fingers to a few businesses for some marketing campaigns, they were rare cases.  I wouldn’t recommend flashing these fingers at potential customer on the roadside or accosting walk-in customers with the finger.  You could, of course, come up with some sort of clever marketing scheme with them but be careful and don’t offend the masses.  I’m all about offending a few to gain the attention of the mass as long as there is no hate marketing or discrimination going on.  These foam fingers are mostly used for protest rallies and sporting events.  They are meant to be intimidating for the other team, but I would encourage you to use these sparingly and be light-hearted if you get a foam middle finger flashed at you at a football game.  You know football can get intense, especially here in the Southeastern Conference, so don’t get too offended.  It’s not personal, just sports.  To you sports rivals out there…until we meet again!
