I'm guessing these "things" are being driven by a bunch of guys my age sitting in a room trying to do something them college kids will think is neat-o.

When you're a little brother school, you have to get attention somehow. Whether it be 3 scoreboards that are "the largest" but half of them are covered in ads along with a hideous HD ribbon, paying Jersey Shore cast members to come to a game or something like this.

Oregon State does this by actually producing a map every so often which highlights the approximate location of Oregon State coaches in their recruiting travels. For example:

...and yes, it is called the "Beaver Barrage". From the SBNation piece:

"One gets the sense of Riley sitting at a great, orange #beaverthrone in the #beavercommandcenter, moving his #beaverchess pieces around the #beavermap, receiving #beaverintel from the field and adjusting #beaverbattle plans."

All this talk about how warm it is and the north is so cold, blah blah, blah...

All I hear when people talk like that is, "Oh, its SOOOO great! It's hot enough that your sack can be glued to your leg with sweat literally Every. Day. Of. Your. Life. Come on down!"

Isn't there some NCAA violation to use alcohol (Dos Equis) in these recruiting "tools"? On top of that, I'd think there would be some copyright infringement on some of those.

This is just like when your high school teacher tries to say something "hip" in class and completely misconstrues it. (Actually, using the word hip would be an example of this)

because it's embarassing and they're recruiting better than any of those schools. And bro, "The Migration" is all you could come up with? That's turrible

Hoke just shares a nice pizza with a kid (as long as chicken is not a topping) and Coach B shares a sub. Simple!

So, if all of the good players on this side of the country are in the SEC footprint, why is GT trying to get players from "up north" to "migrate?"
