I hate it. Like...despise it. For starters, it's too long. A pregame video shouldnt' be any longer than maybe a minute, this one is 3. Second, they got some backwoods sounding country bumpkin to do the narrator. They couldnt' find ANYONE else? Also, it's too fricking slow and boring. I realize it's not being played right before kickoff..but no pregame video should be too much on the slow/boring side unless it's a quick intro then gets going. This whole video is just a crawl. It's awful and I hate it. I really hope they don't play this.

I wish half way through it started getting faster paced but it had UGA, football, and I'm easily won over

Dang WG. That really tore you up.

Oh I'm fired up.

It's like we continue to not learn from the past. For some reason our administration thought "boys of fall" was the cool new song sweeping america circa 09ish and we played that coming into the 4th quarter and the stadium went comatose.

Look at other school's pregames...the sole purpose is based around getting people fired the frick up. Yes, I realize this isnt' played right before kickoff. I heard it'll be more like 30 or 40 minutes prior. But still...why play it at all? It doens't even talk about clemson! The whole 3 minutes is basically just "man, athens sure is awesome. And so is UGA!". And i mean I agree, but they couldn't create a video with the same message that has a little bite to it? It's just embarrassing, to me, to have videos play where the stadium just stands there in silence watching the screen. No cheering or clapping, just standing there silently listening to this eulogy sounding voiceover of slow pan shots around town. And shots of kids in hospitals, solider reunions? frick are we trying to just make people get weepy and emotional? It's a fricking football game. This video is best suited for exactly where it is now, being shared amongst UGA people on the internet to enjoy at home. Not played 30 minutes before a big arse football game.

This one should have never left the editing room...

FWIW I heard this year they aren't running out to the band or this but some rap shite

ETA: crow, my guess is they play it like 5 min before kick off

I enjoyed it. I don't see it as a pregame or a hype video. Just more of a "we are all in this together" type video. It was good, well put together, and it gave me some feels. Not bad.
