So I just saw one of the commercials with Tubby from Kroger. I started thinking about when a new basketball or football coach comes to town, is there a university policy about which companies they can advertise for? When Rich Brooks came to town he almost immediately started advertising for Paul Miller Ford. Why not with Thoroughbred Chevrolet or Quantrell Cadillac? Did they make an offer? Was it less money? Would he be allowed to accept it? If I remember correctly, Guy Morriss also did commercials and billboards for Paul Miller.
Off the top of my head, Tubby promotes Kroger, Paul Miller, Raferty’s, and Dawhares among others. Is there a limit to the amount of deals, or the quality of the businesses?
I’m a sucker for a good jingle just as much as anyone else, so I think what Tubby needs is a commercial with a catchy jingle. It just so happens that I have one in mind. It’s not even really a jingle as much as it is a phone number. It would actually be a duet with WLXG 1300’s Chris Cross. The Lexington Hitch and Trailer commercial he does sticks in my head every time I hear it. You don’t want me to say it do you? It will be lodged in your head the rest of the day. Say it with me now.
Uh uhhh
