wadszip Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 That reduced picture makes "DoMo" look like he's rocking a sweet Jheri curl. Still, have to give it up to ORU. I'd like to see Akron do a Zeke version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZip0510 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have no idea why the Zips haven't done a Keith Dambrot bobblehead giveaway. Get Diet Coke to sponsor it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also be down with that. Though, I noticed KD was sipping on what looked like Lipton green tea yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZip0510 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 To be honest, I didn't think they could make bobbleheads of current players. Maybe because they are "free" giveaways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 To be honest, I didn't think they could make bobbleheads of current players. Maybe because they are "free" giveaways? Thought the same thing. Apparently not in Oklahoma. KD has switched from the trademark Diet Pepsi, I think it happened last year. Caffeine free Lipton. Yum?

plowerman78 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 well we got about 7000 zippy bobbleheads left from that "great" promotion at the OU football game earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Ianello. The gift that keeps on giving. Might as put those to good use and pass them out at the Buffalo game. I'm sure it will draw more than the Ohio football game.

It's just the hypocrisy of the NCAA at work. ORU can "give" out 2,500 hundred of "free" "DoMo" bobbleheads and it's all good. But if "DoMo" happens to get his hands on just one of them, and sells it, he's ineligible. What a system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD has switched from the trademark Diet Pepsi, I think it happened last year. Caffeine free Lipton. Yum? Same here. I thought there were rules against using NCAA student athlete's names on souvenirs like this. Just like jerseys can't be made with names on them. Maybe since it only technically has his nickname, it's allowed? and like others have said maybe the free factor could be the reason too. Would love a Zeke bobblehead to go with my 2 Zippys. Make him really tall breaking out of the JAR ceiling! Also KD, or even Diggs and Harney with the mini 'fros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipdiehard Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Note that the ad doesn't actually mention the players name, just "DoMo"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromdaBurgh Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 They can use "Ziggy"..for guess who????? The NCAA rules about the use of players for promotional materials is very flexible for colleges especially when dealing with a "scholarship" player. Once the student signs the scholarship papers, the are also giving the school permission to use their names and/or likeness for whatever promotional material they desire to use as long as the player him and/or herself is not directly compensated in anyway. So like someone said, they can use his image, stats, name, voice, likeness of any kind but they cannot PAY him for it...which is why you are now seeing ALOT of lawsuits come against EA Sports because they are still using the likeness and image of retired players both at the college and pro video games..BUT you won't see their EXACT image on the current college games. It's a lawsuit still being dealt with and the courts, NCAA & EA Sports have a lot of legal rangling to deal with. It never ends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
