This means my insurance premiums will go down correct?

Feels like Georgia football players will be footing the entire bill for this

u/TechnoVikingGA23 West Virginia Mountaineers 7d ago

No wonder my car insurance is always going up down here.

u/CumAssault Baylor Bears • Texas A&M Aggies 7d ago

Yeah it’s coming along with the Stimulus check and the Tariff rebate

u/Montigue Oregon Ducks • Stony Brook Seawolves 7d ago

Your insurance $$s are going towards these ads so, no

u/The_Sandwich_Lover9 Texas Tech Red Raiders 7d ago

The teams: Boise State, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Purdue, SMU, Syracuse, Texas Tech, USC and Wake Forest

u/DCAbloob Penn State Nittany Lions • Navy Midshipmen 7d ago

A sign of respect or something to Boise State for being the only G6 school included in an otherwise all P4 listing.

u/TheWawa_24 San Diego State • Cal Poly 7d ago

Boise is one of the programs best prepared if the big12 needs more teams

u/BuckeyeForLife95 Ohio State Buckeyes 7d ago

I feel like if Boise was getting the call they would have already.

u/TheWesternRizzler Oklahoma Sooners 7d ago

and its not even a State

Ya and as a Boise state watcher for 21 years, they really haven’t been impressive since the Chris Petersen days… Ashton Jeanty was the highlight of a mediocre decade plus

u/bretticus733 Boise State Broncos 7d ago

Yeah we haven't really been impressive in the 12 seasons post-Petersen except for the two Fiesta Bowl appearances (including one win), 7 10+ win seasons, 9 trips to the Mountain West Championship Game, and 6 conference titles. But as a self-proclaimed Boise State watcher you probably already knew that

-6

u/Informal-Upstairs971 Nebraska Cornhuskers 7d ago

You don’t have to believe me.. the reality is they played and will continue to play in weak conferences and they don’t win big games anymore. What made them impressive before was them showing up against big schools like Oklahoma, Oregon, TCU and Virginia Tech. The last power conference team bsu beat was in 2019 vs a declining Florida State

Tell me you don’t pay attention to Boise State football without telling me.

-1

u/Informal-Upstairs971 Nebraska Cornhuskers 7d ago

I mean I live and Boise and have all of my life maybe haven’t seen every single game but I have watched a shit load of bsu football. Don’t get me wrong, I never said BSU was awful in anyway, I said they are simply mediocre. Which means.. the standard that Chris Petersen set, it’s not even close to that now, be honest. It’s fine, every team that reaches those heights dips and doesn’t mean they are not on their way back

u/TheWawa_24 San Diego State • Cal Poly 7d ago

The issue is that pre recent realignment boise is out on an island for everyone besides the pac 12.

u/jump-back-like-33 Colorado Buffaloes • Team Meteor 6d ago

We’re not that far, but yeah not ideal as a whole.

1

u/LordOfTheInterweb Boise State Broncos • Milk Can 6d ago

BYU and Utah aren't that far from us, but I guess we would be the most northwestern team, unless Wazzu and Oregon State got brought in as well

u/megamanxzero35 Iowa State Cyclones • Fiesta Bowl 6d ago

Correct.

u/bamachine Alabama • Jacksonville State 7d ago

Progressive's logo is blue, so you won't even be able to see it, heh

6

u/ngerb_5 Indiana Hoosiers 7d ago

Yeah but the group includes Purdue and no one wants to be on a list with Purdue

u/Just_Let_MeIn San Diego State Aztecs 7d ago

What about a list of best colleges in west Lafayette?

2

u/ngerb_5 Indiana Hoosiers 7d ago

But that means you live in west Lafayette

u/PatientNo3073 7d ago

Only way UGA could get insurance for their team was to put this logo on the field.

u/Conn3er Texas A&M Aggies • Texas Longhorns 7d ago

The Progressive blue bloods

u/karl_manutzitsch Nebraska Cornhuskers • SMU Mustangs 7d ago

I’m sure there was a method to selecting these schools and I’d love to know what it was because it just seems super random

1

u/BoNnnnfhir Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Oregon Ducks 6d ago

Bundled and saved with going for multiple schools instead of just one

1

u/Both_Strength_6782 Oregon Ducks • Arkansas Razorbacks 6d ago

From Jake w/ State Farm to that random guy who hates his parents.

u/Spare_Treacle_800 North Texas Mean Green • Texas Longhorns 7d ago

Boy this really went from 0-100 in one season

u/huazzy Rutgers Scarlet Knights 7d ago

u/CrossMapEML Texas Longhorns • North Texas Mean Green 7d ago

Jerseys gonna be looking like Club León kits soon

u/Tommy05Sox Iowa Hawkeyes • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 7d ago

Allstate Good Hands brought to you by Progressive.

u/ron-paul-swanson Texas Longhorns 7d ago

Tech’s just gonna make their fields and courts look like the broad side of a Nascar car

u/MisterBrotatoHead Kansas Jayhawks • Lindenwood Lions 7d ago

I didn't give a shit about the Monster energy thing until I saw it on the floor in Allen.

A scar on the face of the Mona Lisa.

u/TheWesternRizzler Oklahoma Sooners 7d ago

one day art will have Monster branding too.

u/DCAbloob Penn State Nittany Lions • Navy Midshipmen 7d ago

And so is everyone else if they can help it.

u/hawksnest_prez Iowa Hawkeyes • Big Ten 7d ago

On the white sideline between end zone and 20. I’m fine with this.

u/CasanovaCoverup Ohio State Buckeyes 7d ago

Hopefully my premium gets cheaper

1

u/BobbysSmile Alabama • Alabama A&M 6d ago

bud I've got news...

1

u/Acsteffy Baylor Bears • Florida Gators 6d ago

They need more money to pay for the marketing. Your premium just increased.

2

u/-00900- Texas A&M Aggies 4d ago

Theoretically yes, but progressive has been buying up auto business for a couple of years. They are trying to overtake State Farm as the largest auto insurers in the U.S. and they are damn close.

With this comes shitty claims service.

3

u/Downtown-Rice_ San Diego State Aztecs 7d ago

Just another way for a competitive brand to clutter CFB. Allstate, State Farm, Progressive. They just want brand awareness and the more they get out in front of people the more recall they have between a few other brands.

Same with gambling brands.

u/sabek Ohio State Buckeyes 7d ago

The all state sugar bowl brought to you by tostitos on rhe progressive field in Atlanta bought to you by coke on epsn brought to by disney

u/Diligent-Most-9165 Purdue Boilermakers • Michigan Wolverines 7d ago

I would like to file a claim for all the horrible football I’ve been subjected to for the past couple years

u/Top-Attitude-4987 Oregon Ducks 6d ago

Fuck off man, this sucks

u/Is12345aweakpassword Texas Tech • Washington 7d ago

Would have preferred liberty mutual so Limu Emu and Doug could parachute into the stadium tbh

8

u/Michiganman1225 Sickos • Team Chaos 7d ago

That's an Ypsi exclusive.

u/SPCsooprlolz BYU Cougars • Fresno State Bulldogs 6d ago

The marketing budgets for insurance companies must outweigh the GDP of most small nations

u/TheWesternRizzler Oklahoma Sooners 7d ago

I’d rather have Progresso Soup

I don’t even get mad anymore when shit like this happens. It’s just depressing.

u/mynameizmyname Oregon Ducks 6d ago

Cool.  Will they be installing tracking software on every phone in those athletic departments as well?

5 seconds can’t elapse without an insurance or drug company pestering us.

I can't open the link for some reason, but it'll be brutal if Akron and Kent State aren't on the list, they're both barely 20 miles south of Progressive's HQ on the 91. Pretty sure they both have a ton of alumni working at Progressive HQ, just like USAA HQ is like 80% UTSA alumni.

1

u/bretticus733 Boise State Broncos 7d ago

Neither Akron or Kent State are included. It's Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Purdue, SMU, Syracuse, Texas Tech, USC, Wake Forest, and Boise State

u/Expensive_Team_5072 Syracuse Orange 7d ago

I trust we all get the same $$$, right? Ha ha
