Tennessee will be having Pilot as their corporate sponsor for football...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Hancock Whitney already has their name on South Alabama’s stadium and the last time I checked was the official bank of LSU football. Honestly, if sponsorship of a team or stadium pisses someone off enough to refuse to do business with them then that individual needs to get a grip on reality and understand how the concept of capitalism and marketing works.

Mossy Oak would be a heck of a lot better than Peavey, but those are the first two I think of
Polls, country meat packers and miskellys. Pilot sponsorship is nothing new to us, it’s just on steroids now.
Haha yep
Just wait til Warren Buffett liquidates and is on top of Neyland peeling off his company name Ron Polk style
Hear me out...

With the 17 yard lines labeled and highlighted?

Viking sold out several years ago. Its involvement in the local (Greenwood) community is a shell of what it was.
The TB in that Pilot is on point though. It's the only fast food (on the correct side of the road) between deer camp and my house.
Since Cadence and Bancorpsouth merged, they are larger than Hancock Whitney and Trustmark.
Hedquarters are still based in Tupelo even though they have major offices in Houston and Birmingham. I think Cadence should be a major sponsor. Trustmark had resigned to stay on the Baseball Stadium so I wonder how thst plays out with a stadium and NO team effective September 9?

I was at Tropicana Field a few weeks back seeing the Rays play and Hancock Whitney had a huge ad there
I would be surprised if Hancock Whitney doesn't do some sort of naming rights with LSU. Part of that is some of the old Whitney people being more comfortable with that type of stuff, part of it is that picking LSU athletics over other LSU schools isn't fraught like trying to sponsor MSU but not Ole Miss or vice versa.
Viking was bought out by a conglomerate out of Illinois I think. They aren't spending advertising dollars at MSU.
Might be a true statement but we can't limit ourselves to businesses traditionally friendly with MSU or have some direct connection. They can have first dibs but this is pure advertising. While our name itself doesn't have near the weight that the power programs do, we still play those power programs and we have grass to ***** out while getting our asses beat at home by those programs. Advertisers don't care where the grass is as long as people are watching on TV. We will command less dollars bc our average viewership is lower but we still have a few big games a year that we can leverage for significant dollars.
All that's true but football naming rights just aren't going to be targeted enough for a brand like Viking I don't think. They'd probably get better bang for their buck spending less money for some naming rights in the boxes and luxury seating areas.
We have business here that has the money. The problem is you would have to do all schools in fear of pissing off the other fan base. So they won't.
Well see how long Cadence claims Tupelo....... With Renasant's acquisition of The First, it will leap frog Trustmark to be the 3rd largest bank based in MS.
Sanderson Farms is the biggest in Mississippi. By the way, we are #8, right above OM. This is our state. https://www.zippia.com/advice/largest-companies-in-mississippi/
I have no clue if there's crossover between premium kitchen appliances and college football viewership. My only point was our market should be much bigger than the msu connected.
