That's the poster for the upcoming football season at Penn State. It's purpose is both utilitarian (it's got the schedule of games printed on it) and motivational (it's supposed to get you all geeked up for the upcoming season). This year's poster is using the slogan "FIGHT ON!", and I bet someone in the athletic department thought they were real clever when they came up with that. It also sounds mighty familiar, almost as if I'd heard it before. Oh, yeah, it's the name of the USC fight song (see here). It's not as bad as Auburn printing "Roll Tide" on their poster or Ohio State printing "Go Blue" on their's, but it's pretty freakin' stupid.

So, the participants are set for the Mythical "National Championship" of college football. It's Florida vs. Ohio State, thanks to USC's loss to UCLA, and we're going to be treated to about three weeks' worth of whining about how Michigan got jobbed.

If you thought American colleges and universities were all about thugging it up and diagramming the Z-scheme, you'd be surprised to learn how big of a deal football is. Heck, if you were to visit some universities on Saturday afternoon in autumn, you'd be surprised to learn that you were on the…

The only slogan more unoriginal than that would be "FOOTBALL!"

That's funny! Of course it's okay, becasue JoPa, won't notice a thing. Of course, I don't think he notices much these days. Doesn't he have his 150th birthday party coming up soon?

You should really have that checked out.
Nope, there's one school slogan out there that beats them all, that of my alma mater, the University of Texas. The university paid a cool million to Austin ad powerhouse GSD&M for...wait for it...
"We're Texas."
To which a stadium/city/state full of fans replied at its debut: no shit.
Constance, imagine if you came across another school that used the slogan "Hook 'em Horns" on their poster? Say, for example, the TCU Horned Frogs.
