Collegiate Crusher Rock Fad is here to Stay as College Football Fans Stockpile Crusher Rocks for big Season Ahead, and as Cold Pizza Show on ESPN2 Broadcasts the Crusher Rocks this Week

The 4" Collegiate Crusher rock with carved college logo on the front, and splatted, squashed rival player on the bottom, debuts its second football season with a buddy collegiate crusher that is nearly two feet tall with unique rival player features. It is expected that Cold Pizza, an early morning sports variety show on ESPN, will debut the rocks this week.

Auburn Hills, MI, (PRWEB) August 4, 2004 -- The polyresin 4" Collegiate Crusher rock has a big buddy this year, with a new look. Dennis Radosevich of American Eagle Co., Inc., agent for the Collegiate Crusher says, The rock has taken on new life for the 2004/05 football season. The buddy size rock is nearly two feet tall, and will be a blast at tailgate parties. We predict heftier sales this season (no pun intended)."

The Collegiate Crusher got its start in the fall of 2002, when inventor/businessman Ed Clancy instructed his contacts in China to make a prototype realistic-looking rock. Story has it, factory rep Chuang Shao Pei walked to the foot of a mountain and whacked off a chunk of rock. This would be the model for future Collegiate Crusher rocks. Smashed, spread-eagled football bodies were etched and hand painted on the bottom of the mass-produced poly resin rocks, and the rival college teams logo hand painted on the front side. Twenty-two universities are represented on the rock. The Collegiate Crusher caused a buzz prior to the 2003 college football season, when disc jockeys joked about the rocks appeal, and television anchors wished theyd thought of it.

Flash forward to Summer, 2004. The China factory is churning out the larger version of the Collegiate Crusher. Says Radosevich, The larger rock has the foot and hand of the splatted player poking up from beneath the rock. Fans are gonna love it!" Next up for the rock is a trivia bowl game, which is currently in product development. Radosevich is looking for partners to carry the game, exclusively.
