When No. 2 Oregon visits Scott Stadium to play Virginia Saturday, some of Nike’s most persuasive and representative advertisements will be on the field.
Last October, college football’s iciest character lit a match.
Though apparently never scribbled on the cultural cave wall of Youtube, I swear the following commercial aired in the primitive times of the early 2000s.

He may not be Thomas Jefferson, but Virginia head swim coach Mark Bernardino has been an institution in Charlottesville for more than three decades. Come this fall, however, a new coach will patrol the poolside on behalf of the vaunted Cavalier swim program.
Virginia sophomore forward Mike Tobey emerged from a hyper-talented pool of prospective players to earn one of twelve spots on the United States U-19 men’s basketball team, which will head to Prague in the Czech Republic for the FIBA U-19 World Championships next week.
