Some more Troy promos
July 03, 2009
In case you haven’t seen, here are the other two promos that Micah Grimes did for Troy football. As you know, once Micah retires from his Hall of Fame NFL career, he’ll be on ESPN. And he’ll be much better than Mike Ditka.
So, much has been made about Jerrel Jernigan‘s choice of apparel in two of the videos. Some saw “Tigers” and assumed he was wearing an Auburn shirt. An honest mistake, I suppose. Jernigan went to Eufaula, and since it’s a school in our coverage area, when I saw the red shirt I knew it was Eufaula. But, Grimes has owned up to this major PR blunder.
“I’m surprised I didn’t notice the logo,“ Grimes said. “We filmed it around 8:30 P.M. (Tuesday) night, and I told them just to wear street clothes. It says Eufaula above the Tigers if you look closely. I understand the disdain for the logo, but he has pride in his high school, just like any football player at any college in America.“
I like the music in the video game promo. Remember when Jernigan was #82 during his freshman year? That seems so far away. Jorrick’s post game ping pong interview reminded me of our New Orleans Bowl postgame interview (though he didn’t shut me off like he did after losing the Benjy Parker Invitational).
And, in case you missed it, the first promo…
