<p>During college football season, I've always liked watching the advertisements the universities put on the airwaves during halftime.</p>

<p>Here are some examples:</p>

<p>Berkeley:

<p>My alma mater</p>

<p>Michigan:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXZJPMg5UFY%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXZJPMg5UFY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Too bad the sound quality isn't that great...but I like this ad the best</p>

<p>UCLA:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhLNBwqiD-E%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhLNBwqiD-E&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>From Cal's satellite campus</p>

<p>Wisconsin:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVlPKGiPFes%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVlPKGiPFes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Stanford:

<p>Funny one...I wonder how many shots they took to get the bunny to melt just so...</p>

<p>I like that one (UW) better than last year's canoe guy.</p>

<p>Thanks for the links. There's a 60-second one for Michigan I like even better. I wish I could find a link for it. It highlights the "conquering heroes" of the health system. Doesn't matter how many times I see it, I have to stop and watch it again when it comes on.</p>

<p>I always did love the cheesy little "UC" Berkeley pun. lulz</p>

<p>Does anyone else get annoyed that certain schools always advertise certain buildings? For example, every damned UCLA ad/viewbook/site/whatever has a picture of Powell Library. Berkeley does this somewhat too, with its Campanile (though that usually isn't seen as often in picture of Berkeley).</p>

<p>Berkeley's and Michigan's are the best, IMO.</p>

<p>^ Thanks, haha. Good one!</p>

<p>But, I think Michigan's ad beats App State's ad by a landslide in this competition. ;)</p>

<p>I like Walter Kronkite's voice when he did this ad better.</p>
