A month from now, the University of Alabama will square off against Clemson in the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff.  It’s being hyped as a Bowl Game to start the season, taking place at the neutral Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

There had been a fair amount of criticism in both Tuscaloosa and Clemson from fans who think a home-and-home series would do more for the local economies.  Yet, there is also a case to be made that playing in Atlanta guarantees more national exposure, and cements inroads into recruiting players from the state of Georgia.

Still, one would have to think that if the game were being promoted by the in-house staff at each respective institution, one wouldn’t encounter a graphics gaffe like this:

Look at the left margin of each graphic.  In purple script, there is an invitation to the Clemson fans to come to a Tiger Tailgate.  And in white letters on the Alabama graphic, an invitation to come to the Tiger Tailgate.

I wonder who proofed that?  And I wonder how long until it is fixed?
