Very nice commercial, although I am jealous that TCU gets featured in such a big budget national ad :wink:

Does anyone know the name/artist of the song on the commercial? My daughter really liked it and wanted to know who it was.

Thx!

True, but it's a remix. Or perhaps, a 'redux remix', even.

Metallica did a version of it somewhat recently.

Both of them are great commericals. The Stephen Jackson/Merriman one had the theme from "Last of the Mohicans" in their commercial.

Gotta give it to nike. Those are clever ads.

there's also a Jay Z - Blue Print 2 where the background music is that song.

Thanks!

Knew I had heard it somewhere before. Obviously, its a remix of some kind, but now that I know the name can hopefully hunt around and find it.

Hate LT (and all Frogs), hate Nike.
Ergo, just can't enjoy that commercial!

My wife saw the commercial last night and thought it was really good. Even though it showed those putrid purple helmets, I thought it was a very entertaining commercial.
