Ole Miss debuts new Super Bowl-themed billboard

Ole Miss knew it was going to have two participants in the Super Bowl, just based on having four participants (one from each team) in today’s conference championship games.

Well, it turned out being Eli Manning and BenJarvus Green-Ellis as the latest Rebels (believe 24th and 25th overall) to play in the big game.
And this is the new billboard Ole Miss will be using to promote that fact.
Both played really well today – Manning was 32-of-58 for 316 yards and two touchdowns. He was also tough as nails, as the 49ers just beat him up all night long (including Patrick Willis, who had a sack and seven overall tackles). It got to the point where I was legitimately concerned for Eli’s well-being during the coin flip before overtime.
Green-Ellis had 68 yards on 15 carries for the Patriots, including a second-quarter touchdown. His counterpart, Michael Oher, was hurt early in the game but came back and seemed to play well for the Ravens.
Ole Miss started this latest promotional campaign by honoring Manning, Willis and Mike Wallace for their Pro Bowl selections. Then it  introduced a final four billboard for this week’s games.
