there was a story today on the cal poly website that billy bronco will be appearing in a national television ad during the big dance.
only he shows up LESS than his frequent no shows from games at kellogg gym.
the ad shows a bunch of college mascots getting a pep talk from a ref before a basketball game. the cal poly story says billy is in the ad. but check out the budweiser web site and play the commerical and you'll see for yourself.
in the first shot there are nine mascots shown, and they are the cal state golden eagle, fullerton tuffy, fresno bulldog, nevada wolf, wichita shocker, arizona state devil, irvine anteater, kansas stat wildcat, and delaware state hornet. no billy.
in the next shot you get a wider angle and you get to see the long beach miner and the northridge matador.
and then in the last shot which is an overhead you can get a glimpse of the penn state nittany lion, and i think if you were to freeze the frame and blow it up ten times you might get billy's nose for a nanosecond.
so don't believe what the press release says. you won't see billy, just like you didn't see him for most of our home games this year.
call this one public relations not truth in journalism.
