I could never picture Johnny Vaught doing this
- Thread starter HammerOfTheDogs
- Start date
Well, if he is drunk and needs a designated driver, I suggest he NOT call a cab.
I thought the first one was funny. This one - not so much.
ETA - I changed my mind. The 2nd one was funny too with the actual music.

Went to one of our chicken dinner circuit meetings, and Bjork made a good point. He said the goal was to get people talking and thinking about Ole Miss basketball during August and September. His point was that we've never done that before in basketball. We'd always waited until near the end of football season to even think about marketing basketball and basketball tickets.
I don't think you'll see it change the culture of our fans to where we're all of a sudden excited about basketball, but it's a start, and both videos circulated well outside the Ole Miss fan base to national folks, so from a marketing perspective, it's mission accomplished.
As for AK, he's got a good sense of humor, which is why this works. The best is when he gets talking about the old Huggins days. He's got tons of good stories from the time he, Huggins, and Frank Martin spent together. If you were just looking to hang out with a group of guys and come home with a story, those three would make for a great poker table.

Which is why this works? Ive seen nothing but eye rolling at this bull ****
Even Ole Miss fans think this "skit" was embarrassing. It trys so hard... so hard.
If you are going to try and tell me Ole Miss fans do like this I'll go ahead and tell you those same people are probably expecting a trip to Atlanta this December.

I think they're pretty funny. Stupid but funny, but more of what a random youtube "funny character" would do, not a head basketball coach at Ole Miss of all places. We know they care about national perception more than anyone with their super ficial, worrying what everyone thinks about them mentality.
It's clear from the beginning they are knocking off the DirecTV commercials. Do they have to ask for their permission or is using the likeness of another okay in this situation?

And yet Rick Ray dancing in the locker room was some kind of embarrassing travesty according to Ole Miss fans at the time.
The funnier part, at least for a niche of Ole Miss fans is that Randy Kennedy was a creation of Red Cup Rebellion posters a couple years ago. The university taking that from a group of internet fans (mostly on the young Millennial side) and using it for a marketing ploy is pretty good.
I get it. Duke or UNC would never do this, so it would be embarrassing for a serious basketball program to do something like this. We have minimal basketball tradition to put it lightly. The sport mostly serves as a minor distraction to the end of football season, the height of recruiting, and the beginning of Spring football for our fans. Therefore, it's a good play by both Kennedy and Bjork to actually get the attention of our fans on basketball, especially with a new arena opening, even if it is a silly character creation.
We've been to the tourney 2 of the last 3 seasons, and that's really not changed the energy our fans put into basketball. We'll likely never care that much, but Bjork's job is to manage ALL sports, not just football, and this is more of an effort than any of our previous ADs have put into the sport. Maybe our fans will eventually come around to the sport too if he keeps focus on it.

In the first video without any context I thought it was about the dumbest thing I've seen.
With context I found it funny.
Not something I'd love seeing Howland do... But it was well done for what it is.

I hate everything UM. But, this was funny. Both were. Lighten up fellas.
