Happened upon a Yahoo.com article about ESPN, Apple TV and problems with streaming agreements. I noticed the living room television used in the story featured a picture of a great Gator....but not necessarily the one you'd expect!

Always nice to see the Orange and Blue out in the day to day world.
That's because Big Brother knows your search tendencies. For instance. if Wobble were to click on that article, there would be an image of Herschel Walker on the tv.

I regrettably chose to watch the movie Liberal Arts (starring How I Met Your Mother actor) during my snow/ice day. In the opening scene, the character was walking down street with O H I O across his shirt in big letters, and a guy was wearing a Gator hat that you can clearly see for a few seconds.

Makes sense to me why they'd choose that image. Chris Leak is the ambiguous "everyman" icon you see in office computer applications. He's has a perfectly safe marketing appeal as no one can readily determine his skin color, gender, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. He's basically a living incarnation of this annoyingly amorphous person, who was designed to be absolutely certain to offend no one:

That's probably T rex, which explains why he's so angry all the time.

I had the same thought.

Also, during the first season of "Justified", US Marshal Raylan Givens is wearing a t-shirt with the vintage Gator emblem as he gets beaten up by two guys who stole his hat.

There was a movie in the 80's where a guy was betting on the FL LSU game and I can't recall it for the life of me.

If I remember correctly he was running from Guido and was counting on the gators to win. Anybody?
