A 30 second ad during this year's SB will run you $4 million. That's up from $3.5 mil last year. The same ad in 1967? $47,000

Neither team has ever lost a Super Bowl. Niners are a perfect 5-0, while the Ravens won their only appearance in 2001.

Factor in the cost of living rise from 1967 and it only calculates to $300,000-$400,000. Shows how the NFL has really gained in popularity. Plus that was the first Superbowl and everybody expected (and got) a blowout.

You mean WKU? That's a pretty cool story.

Awesome - didn't know that. I was thinking Jim for some reason - my mistake.

Jim became an assistant for his dad at WKU when they were not very good and the football program was on the brink of being shut down. Jim, with John's assistance, helped in recruiting and evaluations and WKU won a national championship shortly after Jim left.

As a Niner fan I was heart broken when the bengals took Andy Dalton in round 2. I thought the niners had a chance at him. Little did I know they'd trade up to get the great Colin Kaepernick. Needless to say, if that man gets my frogs to the rose bowl and wins the niners a 6th Super Bowl I may name my next born Colin.

Only 1 quarterback has ever started and won 2 Superbowls, and is not in the NFL Hall of Fame. He is also one of my favorite, evers.

Jim Harbaugh's oldest son is an intern for the Ravens. Lot of family ties in this game. He hasn't spoken to his son all week.

Crunch,

Plunkett?

And technically Eli, but he's not eligible for the HOF.

Yes, I should have said eligible.

Yeah, I don't think Kaepernick makes a good first name.

Jim was at WKU. Incidentally the only reason I knew that factoid is because my cousin was a LBer at WMU. When I was a freshman WMU played to a tie against our Frogs at ACS. Anyway hw posted the story on FB so I really can't take any credit for this nugget.

Chiefs Linebacker - Sherrill Headrick. But it was called the AFL- NFL national Championship game the first two years.

Eli Manning?

Edit: I should read the entire thread before posting something so obvious.
