What does FTW stand for anyway?

You still confusing The Oldtimer with it?
Quick google gave me this on its origin

Google said:
Numerous internet sources, including a hotforwords video, claim that FTW, "for the win", originated with Hollywood Squares, a 1966-1981 US television show. It's likely that Hollywood Squares popularized the phrase, using it in show after show for 15 years, but I believe the true origin of it is in football or rugby. For example, after making a touchdown in football, a team faces the choice of kicking for 1 extra point (PAT) or running the ball in for 2 points. This can make the difference between tieing the game, vs. winning it; in the latter case, the team is said to "go for the win" (or to go for broke), both usages which far predates Hollywood Squares.

I know. I remember Oldtimer getting all huffy because he didn't know what it meant.
There was a dink over in the PF who tried saying it meant fuck the world, maybe oldtimer was his alt... not sure :D both are complete morons though :D

The baby is a Tech fan? Honestly, I might advise against doing this.

Not sure which is worse.

The stupid commercial

Or the fact a football board is discussing the plot line of said stupid commercial

I'm actually a little more concerned that @DJ is thinking of letting a woman he isn't even married to turn him into a fan of an arch rival.

Take it from us married guys-at that point it's time to consider keeping on getting that free milk and avoid buying the cow if you know what I'm saying.

My husband didn't even watch college football when we got married.

Daughter and I caught him screaming at Bamas D last weekend. LMAO

She's worth it and I'm still a Raiders fan as we type this.

But yeah, just NO.

Daughter dated an Auburn fan for a while. Mercifully she realized how much inheritance she would have forgone if she married him.

Out of conference is one thing, but NEVER a rival

Yeah, one last year or so had her giving birth to an obvious tech baby.

I hate these ads with the passion of a thousand suns. Dr. Pepper ad agency must think we are idiots.
Compared to the "sweet one" DP commercials...this is an upgrade.

By the way I finally realized why the other Fansville Mom, the one with the lacrosse son looked so familiar.

She's Kate French! I remember her on The L Word as Niki Stevens, a Hollywood starlet and... you don't care. Anyway, she was good on there.

Sadly I admit I laugh every stupid time at the Geico Halloween ad. The chainsaw guy rolling his eyes is perfect.
