It all started when Tulane’s football account posted a season ticket promotion on social media on Thursday, June 20. The Green Wave promoted season tickets for the 2024 campaign with an ad saying “Cheapest beer in college football” and “Get your season tickets now!”
“What more could you ask for? Get your season tickets today!” Tulane captioned the post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Three hours later, Louisiana fired back at Tulane with an ad of their own.
“Fixed it for you, see you in September,” the Ragin’ Cajuns football account responded.
Louisiana’s ad promoted Ragin’ Cajun season tickets and the “actual” cheapest beer in the sport at $2.
Fixed it for you, see you in September

BYU, which has an “Honor Code” policy against drinking alcoholic beverages, saw the posts and looked to trump them with an ad of its own.
The Cougars’ football account shared an advertisement promoting season tickets for the fall with BYU Creamery‘s famous chocolate milk. The milk was publicized as “the coldest chocolate milk in college football.”
“See you in the fall (sober),” BYU football shared a day after Lousiana and Tulane’s posted.

In October 2019, The Princeton Review ranked BYU as the country’s most “Stone Cold Sober” university. It was the 22nd year in a row that BYU earned the recognition from The Princeton Review.
After getting the title in 2019, BYU celebrated by releasing a “Milk & Cookies” edition of milk from the school’s creamery.
Shortly after BYU football’s chocolate milk post, Mississippi State replied to the Cougars’ ad and said they have “the best cheese in college football.”
No one better. Get ready for the show!
