I remember the PSA they did a few years ago with Ralphie running all over campus. That was one of the best ones they've ever done, IMO.

science t-shirt? crocs. groan. really gonna hammer down the cliches.

i had an astronomy prof at Vandy that wore an "astronomers love heavenly bodies" T? would that work?

 

[Buffs@5345']

I would gladly do it if they let me keep the astronaut suit for gamedays!

I remember the Montana St. game. Coach CareBear came on with his "Winning Attitude" PSA. ( I know, irony abounds). The two recent former students sitting behind me, through a beer induced haze, sagely stated: "our school is so gay...". I'm not sure how that fits in this thread...just wanted to share.

The DUI one was horrible last year too.
