A Zune With School Spirit?
I love all things technology. There is something I love more than technology though and that’s the University of Florida. The athletics of course are the most visible thing others see but I am a Gator through and through. I thought of getting the Colorware treatment on my Zune so that I could have mine in Orange & Blue. After Jason’s very mediocre experience, however, that idea went out the window.
There may be a better option for me one day. The Zune team seems interested in providing branded Zunes to schools who are interested. According to Michael Greene, Zune is going to be working with large institutions to brand devices for their own uses. They do present some interesting possibilities of things to do with it. Such as trading flash cards between incoming freshmen. Do they SERIOUSLY think that’s a good idea?
Other, better, ideas include preloading school songs and videos from professors. Those ideas are certainly more appealing. If Florida offered a branded Zune through the bookstore I’d buy one pretty quick and would love if it included songs or better yet, videos. As far as how interesting this is to the general populace? Well, it would be nice if anyone could special order a Zune with a logo on it.

Good to know there is another Gator fan on staff at Thoughts Media. I live just up the road in Tally, but I'm a Gator alumni and was just down there last week recruiting.

Actually, this is not a bad idea.
But I would not buy a "Florida" Zune!!!!

2002 grad here. When did you graduate? Must be rough living in Tally! You ever get to any of the games?

Your ex coach has recruited well for my alma mater (Illinois) and has the program going in the right direction. It was also nice of him to leave so much talent for Meyer

He didn't leave Meyer as much talent as he'd like to believe and your program will be going in the right direction for ever. It just won't actually go anywhere in that direction One of the worst coaches in I-A

Really ? Remind me how many of the starters on the NC team last season were Zook recruits ? All but 2 or 3 ? We will be bowl eligible this season. Considering the season before he took over was an "0 for" that sure seems to me to be a directional turn for the better. FireUrban.com already has an owner doesn't it? You must think Zunes are great to

Class of 1995. Not really a sports fan, so have not gone to a game since college. Gator football is about the only sport I can stand to watch on TV.
Since there are a good # of Gators in Tally, it is actually much easier to live here than it would be to be a Nole in Gainesville.

Yeah, great move by Microsoft. Forget developing a new player, lets just slap a college logo on it and people will buy them by the case.
It reminds me of this

Ridiculous then and even more so now.
