As I posted in the G1 Forums the other day, you can go to Pasadena with a horny Texan. At least if you meet the craigslist ad's requirement as a 'classy hottie'.

Well, in the interest of getting the full story, I emailed the guy who put up the ad, and wanted to get him to tell me more about it, as well as answer some questions related to the upcoming BCS Championship. After all, I'm sure I'm only one of many Gator fans who had to change their January plans. And I've never had my favorite football team complete a dream undefeated season. I wanted to find out more about this famous ad, but also use it as an opportunity to get a perspective on what it's like to have your team come through, rather than let you down, in the biggest game of the year.

What follows is his entire response to my interview questions, I'll let you read and come to your own conclusions below.

Gators First (G1): Your craigslist ad has become somewhat of a sensation, at least to the people I interact with on the internet and as a Texas resident. Do you want to explain the situation in more detail?

Sigfried Ergman (SE): Well first of all, I never expected my ad to get this publicity. I've been contacted by 3 radio stations that would like to have me on (one in Austin, Denver, and some station in Alabama) and Deadspin put an article up about it [Ed.: here] and on the first day it had over 20,000 viewers!

I guess people just think my situation is funny or something. Well im not trying to come off as a creeper, but I don't understand why people think my ad is creepy. All I want is to meet a new friend to watch the game with, drink with, and stay in my hotel room with me all night. What's so bad about that?? I don't know...

I just really need a classy hottie that will accompany me to the game.

I had originally made these reservations for my girlfriend, but we had to break up. I loved her a lot and we dated for a very long time and she broke my heart. The relationship lasted 8 weeks till we eventually started to drift apart and then i caught her cheating on me with my roommate, Steve. They were making out in my bed. Steve can be a real asshole sometimes and I said &Steve Stop that before I punch you in your pizza face!&

(G1): What sort of response has your ad gotten so far? Are you getting actual applicants? Have you gotten angry emails? Anything really weird?

(SE): I have had tons of responses. Some real classy hotties have replied and I am very happy with the turn out. It really has been hard trying to narrow the applicant pool down and i'm giving everyone till the 23rd before i decide who to take.

A lot of the responses have been guys cheering me on and wishing me good luck. A few have been guys pissed off and a majority just call me a d-bag.
This one guy in particular emailed me and said, &my sister would like to go, here's a pic.& Well the picture was actually of his penis and it really freaked me out.

(G1): Many Gator fans, myself included, had plans to go to Pasadena that have now been shot down. What’s it like to be a preseason favorite, and have your team fulfill the promise of playing in the BCS Championship game?

(SE): Oh it's great for Texas to play in the BCS National Championship and it is going to be great watching as soon as i find a classy hottie to take!

(G1): Were your plans for Pasadena locked up before the Big XII Championship game? How did you get tickets?

(SE): Well everyone thought Texas would beat Nebraska so I had reserved the room and flights well in advanced. I bought the tickets through a broker for about $3400 they're really good seats.

(G1): We Gator fans got to see our defense hand Mark Ingram the Heisman. What was it like to almost have your offensive line singe-handedly responsible for a defensive tackle to win this offensive-oriented award?

(SE): Suh's really good. I can't really say much more than that.
 

(G1): Who’s the better Texas quarterback- Vince Young or Colt McCoy?

(SE): Vince Young. McCoy still owes Texas a National Championship. After that, this becomes a much tougher question.

(G1): What’s your prediction for the game? Why?
 

(SE): Texas will win. But it's going to be a very good game. We will probably secure the win within the last minute of the game.

Best,

Sigfried Ergman

P.S. will you put the link to my ad [Ed.: sure]? I would like to see if I could get some more people to respond. I will fly people out from anywhere it doesn't need to be Austin.
