In Which We Tenuously Connect Hockey To Football

One of the tried-and-true traditions of the Super Bowl -- ahem, sorry Big Game (copyright issues, you know?) -- remains the commercials. This this gem from Budweiser has been making the rounds.



This isn't fabricated. You can see more here. If this isn't the nicest thing you've seen all day, just look at the players' mismatched socks.

So maybe there can't be confetti or a giant chicken at Messa Rink. But for those collegiate players, the presence of over 2,000 screaming fans might suffice. Hockey is a labor of love, after all. There's a reason players of all ages and skill levels brave obscenely early practices and ungodly late ice times. There may not be a direct Union connection here, but hey, sometimes hockey transcends boundaries. It can even make its way into a football game.*

*Speaking of which, how 'bout that game, eh?
