Loyola’s Sister Jean appears on Super Bowl ad

Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, the 99-year-old Loyola men’s basketball team chaplain, appeared briefly on a Super Bowl ad for YouTube on Sunday.

Sister Jean, who became an international sensation last March when the Ramblers reached the NCAA Final Four, is being hugged after an NCAA tournament win by then Loyola player Carson Shanks in the ad.

The ad featured clips from major TV shows and fan reactions to sporting events. Sister Jean’s cameo is 20 seconds into the commercial.
