The problem with the cougarboard guys is that they tend to like the old-school stuff. Someone even went as far as to mention the Carpenters for music for the highlight video. Are you kidding me? The Carpenters? Brutal. So I thanked everyone for their help, but Bon Jovi and the Carpenters just don't get the juices flowing for our football team. The point of the highlights is to pump the players up before taking the field. This usually means rap and hip-hop. I went with something a little more dramatic this time around and included some "300 (the movie)" music along with some Linkin Park. The video was money! It turned out great. I'm going to submit the video to the CSVA (College Sports Video Association... something like that) in hopes of being ranked amongst the best highlight video editors in the country. I'll let you all know how that goes. I think the Utah highlight is one of the better videos I've edited and should do well when put up against other videos I've seen. Oregon is the only other University that really has decent videos. Everywhere else tends to be a little less professional.
As for the Utah game, I can't believe we pulled that one out. It makes the game horrible to attend (I care WAY too much about these stupid sports), but it makes the victory oh so much sweeter. If we blow out Utah, the game doesn't sting at all. We get to go around bragging that we killed Utah, but tell me that isn't so much sweeter to not have to say anything to those Utah fans. All you have to do is look at them, raise both eyebrows and smile. The loss still stings.
