This is something a MAC school would do, not one aspiring to be a P5.

I don't think it was a blatant lie, just a little something they whipped up and everyone ran with due to the lack of clarity. Either way someone should have known better and should have been very clear that it wasn't going to get used.

This is twitter marketing in 2019. Much like in the early 90's when companies did not have any ideas on how to market to Gen X as they were not into "material" things, which launched a bunch of cerebral, artsy and oftentimes confusing ads. Things have changed a bunch, especially with meme culture. Brands, companies, and schools are all embracing this. The NHL and Wendy's are two entities that really have captured this style of marketing. Wendy's will actually "throw shade" at people on twitter. We do live in an age where Dominoes ran an entire advertising campaign about how bad their food was.

One post got people talking and got media outlets to notice UC. We are in a different age with advertising, and UC Twitter just did an excellent job marketing itself.

I am so disappointed that this was a hoax. Not because I liked the field design...I actually think it's hideous. But rather because I think it would be hilarious to to watch them try to play football in a light absorbing black hole.

1) Wendy's basically talks trash to other chains in a very obvious and knowingly non-serious way.
2) Remember when McDonald's had their pickle burger joke that people took serious. When you play something off as real and it never was even under consideration its not a good look. McDonald's took some heat for that joke from customers.

Anyways no biggie as I don't think people are upset more of just why would you do that type of thing. If their goal was just to achieve web page hits/views then they succeeded.

Lets watch what really matters on the field Friday and that's two teams trying to get a W.

Call me old school but that's the way the field should look! Beautiful.

RE: "Something big coming soon"
I understand they got attention and "unique interactions" or whatever the f. But your official social media account teases a big announcement and then fakes a field rendering (several teams as mentioned have colored fields), then several national media outlets run with the story. After that they could of been like just kidding instead their tactic was basically "you believed that you big dumb idiot?" I'm just saying it kind of pissed me off.

You can say I'm being sensitive but next time UC sports has a "big announcement" -- I'll just ignore them.

I get that this is all a joke (and I freakin' love it!), but that's like every possible design thrown up all over the field...

Again... LOVE IT! (That it's not happening...)

Edit: Come to think of it, the design is missing the triangles and the scratch/tear marks... Gotta work those in!
I love it. Like Orson Welles and landing of the Martians story back in the day. Just a touch of humor.😎

I'm going to start doomsday prepping soon.

It's dumb to get worked up over it, BUT I think the only reason people even thought it was real is that we'd had the comment "Something big coming soon..." earlier. So when it got posted with that "something big" in everyone's head it made waves.

Exactly my thought. I guess the other question is was that really the "big news"?

For my fellow Bearcats struggling to find the humor. I suggest an off site therapy session at the Buffalo Trace distillery. It's just a bit of fun and humor. I can't stop laughing. This is just having a bit of fun.😎
