Happy Super Groundhog Day!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm disappointed that all the marketing folks have missed out on the fine opportunity to combine Groundhog Day and Super Bowl Sunday into an amazing new holiday for this weekend. I mean, come on... who wouldn't want a t-shirt or a coffee mug with "Super Groundhog Day" on it! The kids would love little stuffed groundhog plushies with football helmets as well.

Better yet, who wouldn't want to watch something like a "Groundhog Bowl", where they dress up Groundhogs in little football uniforms and have them run down a field for treats or something?

This just feels like a big marketing opportunity that was missed. The only people who seem to "get" the power of this combo were Jeep and Bill Murray for this Super Bowl ad:

So we are doomed to wait for handegg commercial breaks to end for an eternity? 😱

Yay so we find out if we get another 3 months of winter, or another 3 months of winter? 😛

Best commercial breaks of the year. It's all down hill from here

For example I never knew YouTube could turn a green beret into a football player

I don't pay attention to handegg so not interested in commercials either.

They could have gone for Palindrome Day marketing

I can understand the "meh" when it comes to football, but come on... Groundhog Day has the power of Bill Murray on it's side!

I saw that at a pre screening in my college. Got a plastic cup with Groundhog Day printed on it. Long lost of course.
