I've been traveling when it came out a few weeks ago and just saw it this week. I'm prepared to take me beating on not being more informed.

But is it a reference to RGIII almost coming to LSU and Miles being self deprecating? Is that common knowledge? Is it a subtle (or obvious) jab at our QB situation? If so, I find that very surprising.

I may be reading into this like I woman so sorry in advance.

What's the story?

...Put some pants on

The new game allows you to select one Heisman winner and put him on your favorite team.

Mike chose RGIII to be LSU's qb. Les took that as an insult and traitorous act. He stripped Mike of his LSU jersey.

Jab at our QB situation. No one at EA knows anything about what almost happened in recruiting 4 years ago.

You can play as RGIII with any team in NCAA13

Les in the commerial was disappointed at Mike for playing with RGIII with LSU, probably a jab at the QB situation last year but overall the whole commercial series has the same theme so its not entirely that. For example they had one where a son from Ohio St was playing with Desmond Howard on OSU, dad got pissed and threw out the TV

I took it as a jab at our qb situation last year. I thought it was one of the funniest EA commericals ever.

The new feature on NCAA is that you can add any past Heisman winner to your roster.

Tebow on UGA
RGIII on LSU
Desmond Howard on OSU

I missed that commercial, that is the greatest LSU one yet. The built-in look on Mike's face is perfect for the situation, lol.

Interesting that it's part of the broader theme. I have not seen any other commercials. I think it's funny too, but I'm not sure why I laugh, like you're too close to the situation.


Still it's interesting that the other two commercials were obvious rivals (UF/UGA, OSU/UM) but Baylor/RGIII are pretty much random with the exception to the obscure recruiting connection.

Whatever, it's still hilarious.

I already gave that as a qualifier in the OP

And no one said they didn't like the commercial.

I think it would have just been simpler for a lot of fans if Mike had been playing as Alabama.

indeed but whole point of the commercial is to showcase the new feature to play as any Heisman winner on any team. LSU would prob not want to have a SEC heisman champion being showcased along side of them within a commercial

Actually I think it was a jab at our QB situation.

And no one here seems bothered by it all.
So, step off.
