Check out the one second spot at 18 seconds. Whoever is 74 in the left middle sure doesn't look like a football player!

I didn't think any Tiger fans drank GATORade. Beings it came from UF, don't think they'd put LSU in their commercials. Matter of fact, as gay as those G ads are, I'd be ashamed if LSU was in them. Geaux Powerade.

Glad someone finally said it. And no, that's not LSU's indoor facility that's shown in the video.

College athletes can't be used in commercials. Those are actors wearing LSU gear.

Considering that LSU, Florida St, and UGA are the most visible teams that use the Coca-Cola Product, it would make sense that Coke would use a visible image to sell their product. Just sayin'.

Well only makes sense. Powerade used to be 10K which used to be Bengal Punch.

Bengal Punch was a sports drink created in 1958 for the Louisiana State University football team.[1][2] It is believed to be the first sports drink ever created, pre-dating Gatorade by seven years. It was created by Dr. Martin Broussard, the long-time LSU athletic trainer who served the university from the mid-1940s until the early 1990s. LSU's current athletic training facility, located in the northeast corner of Tiger Stadium, is named for Broussard.

I don't know why I find this picture so humorous. Either Terrance Cody, Grandpa, or bad arse in the black T-shirt.

Powerade is owned by Coke and Gatorade is owned by Pepsi. True southerners only drink Coke therefore should only drink Powerade!

LSU should sue for misrepresentation. No.74 does a poor job "acting" like a Tiger. I'm glad we are the only ones to break it down to get to "74".
