Let's stay on the USC train shall we…
Quarterback Matt Barkley stars in his own USC commercial called "Water Cooler Talk," which includes athletic director Pat Hayden and senior associate athletic director J.K. McKay.
I'd being doing our readers a disservice if I said it was awesome. It's not. It's not terrible, but it's not going to win any awards any time soon. The gist of the commercial is this: Hayden gives Barkley advice on on some elaborate play he needs to run and Barkley retorts with another ridiculous play that no one understands. All the while, Barkley is wearing his USC jersey (ala every ESPN commercial with a sports figure) and photocopying papers.
Comic gold, I know.
Barkley does have one good line at the end when he asks, "Who were those old guys?" as Hayden and McKay leave the room.
I'll give USC this: At least the commercial is a giant step up from their last one with coach Lane Kiffin entitled "The Briefcase." That commercial, which came out earlier this year, featured a shadowy man walking through the USC campus with his wrist handcuffed to a metal briefcase. Once the briefcase is opened it reveals a USC visor for Kiffin.
I personally thought the briefcase would contain NCAA documents or a scholarship offer for another 13-year-old.
