So sports fans, the big game is next Sunday. In past years the Super Bowl would be pretty off-topic for a Black Keys fan board. This year, however, I think it could be the source for a friendly wager. The question - how many times will TBK music be played during the game, either as intro/outro music or in commercials. So in addition to the distinct possibility of Fox picking up something from Brothers to play in and out of commercial, you have at least Cadillac, Subaru, Microsoft, and Zales who may run spots. Perhaps Brandy or some other benefactor would like to offer a prize for the winner, but otherwise it's for bragging rights only.

A few rules - Songs or clips played during live game coverage and half-time only (since that's what I'll be watching). No pre-game shows or stuff on any other channels. Puppy Bowl could play the entire Keys discography and it wouldn't count. Tiebreaker will be instances of Tighten Up. Entries due one hour before game time - 5:30 p.m. EST, 2/6/11

My official guess: 7, with 3 Tighten Ups (Tightens Up?).

Wow, I think you guys are way too low. Sometimes there are Zales commercials with every damn break when I'm watching. Plus there are bound to be new Super Bowl® ads. I'm gonna say 18 total with 3 being TUps.

I'll say 8 total, with 4 Tighten Ups. I usually see a lot of Zales commercials too, but Super Bowl ads are big money. Can't see them laying out the dough to keep up that frequency for the game.

already heard a whole MESS of Black Keys. A long Sinister Kid / Tighten Up medley was played during some pre-game Steelers segment. i know the official rules of this thread say that pre-game doesn't count. but i'm not entering. just chatting.

Wait, this was for Black "Keys"?
I thought it was Black Eyed Peas and I meant to put 800 instead of 8.

Did anyone else suffer through the worst live performance of anything ever performed in history?

I could perform open heart surgery better than the Black Eyed Peas could perform live.

Howlin for you during the promo before the second half started

Black Eyed Peas were alright, the volume for the vocals seemed weird in some spots but I thought they did a good job. The production was amazing

The Black Eyed Peas were atrocious. The boys could have done a much better job. Can you imagine it? They come up on stage and Dan says "We're the black keys and we're from Akron ohio" then lauches into thickfreakness and rocks the faces off 100,000+ people.
