Okay, so I turn on the tv this morning to ABC, hoping the local station will be carrying the GameDay feed already. They are not, they are carrying the national ABC news. Each segment ends with a reminder about the game and a shot of times square where “tailgaters” are getting ready for the game. SO FAKE! It was laughable how fake these “tailgaters” were. All white of course. There was a fat “dad” character for each team at the forefront looking at their rival fans and doing things like holding their noses. Everyone had brand new fan clothing. It was weird, I couldn’t decide if it was offensive (like an SNL skit making fun of college football fans) or complimentary (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all). I’m happy that this game is getting the attention it deserves, but what is the point of hiring a bunch of actors to stand on times square in NYC and pretend they are tailgating for a game in Ohio? C’mon!
OSU vs. UM
