sg Speaks: AT&T “No Comment” on Cotton Bowl?
“Woo pig sooie” is making it’s (hopefully triumphant) return to Dallas, Texas and the Cotton Bowl. Pardon me, I mean the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic (since we can’t have normal bowl game names anymore, can we). I’m not going to recap how exactly we got there, because that would take way too long and make no sense (ahem, ticket sales), but I will transcribe a phone call I had with an AT&T representative the other day while registering my new iPhone, regarding the upcoming Cotton Bowl.
AT&T: Okay, you’re all set. Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Seth: Uh, no, I think that ab… well wait. I do have a question.
AT&T: Yes sir?
Seth: You guys are the sponsors of the Cotton Bowl, right?
AT&T: I’m sorry?
Seth: The Cotton Bowl. You know, the college football bowl game?
AT&T: Uh, I’m not sure about that, sir.
Seth: It says you are.
AT&T: I’m not sure what you’re asking, sir.
Seth: The logo. The logo says you’re the sponsor.
AT&T: What logo? Where?
Seth: The Cotton Bowl logo. It says “AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic”
AT&T: Okay sir.
Seth: So are you?
AT&T: Am I what?
Seth: The sponsor?
AT&T: Me?
Seth: Yes.
AT&T: As in, me personally?
Seth: Yes.
AT&T: Uh, no.
Seth: Oh. I guess that makes sense, doesn’t it?
AT&T: What does?
Seth: Well, think about it… I wouldn’t just be able to talk to you.
AT&T: Right. It doesn’t ma—
Seth: Because there are THREE of you!
AT&T: Wha—
Seth: Duh! A, T AND T! Which one are you?
AT&T: Sir, I’ve got to help other customers now.
Seth: Crap. Sorry about that.
AT&T: Thanks for calling AT&T.
Seth: Oh, I DO have one more question, though.
AT&T: Yes?
Seth: Do you really think that Arkansas has a chance to win?
AT&T: Sir.
Seth: No no no, think about it. We under achieved all season long and had to beat the #1 team in the country just to even be considered for the Cotton Bowl. Hell, Cotton Bowl representatives weren’t even present at the LSU game — and don’t get me started on what I think about LSU going to the national championship game. But seriously, I’m willing to bet that we were picked solely based on ticket sales since Dallas used to be like a second home to Arkansas… you know, back from when we were in the SWC.
AT&T: Sir, I’m gonna ha—
Seth: Because I bet that Missouri is hella pissed off that they beat a previously undefeated Kansas football team, then lost the Big 10 title game to Oklahoma, but somehow got JUMPED by KU in the BCS standings. That doesn’t make any sense, right?
AT&T: …
Seth: Anyway, I’m thinking that we get whooped.
AT&T: Is that all sir?
Seth: Is all of this recorded?
AT&T: Recorded sir?
Seth: You know, for training purposes?
AT&T: Yes sir.
Seth: That’s cool. Hmmm. Can you replay what I just said because I think I made a mistake… I said “Big 10″ when I meant “Big 12.”
AT&T: …
Seth: No matter. I HATE the way my voice sounds recorded anyway. Ooo, any comment about the Cotton Bowl lobbying to be a part of the BCS by 2011?
AT&T: Thank you for calling AT&T, sir. CLICK
So there you have it, the official word from AT&T about the Cotton Bowl is mum. They’re not favoring one team over the other and they won’t even comment on the BCS including other bowls in the future. In other news, the iPhone is pretty cool.
