Am I the only one who misses Remember the Titans/U2?

I like this year's video.  Has an intense vibe to it.  May they erase the 2012 video from history.

Am I the only one who misses Remember the Titans/U2?

I like the music and lighting/footage, but it's the fake crowd shot is what got me.  I understand the need to have practice footage with such a great incoming group but to add the fake fan interaction was cheesy at best.

If you acknowledge we're not going to change the Golden Eagles moniker.....that's the most bad a$$ golden eagle we've used.  It's a step.

I always thought it would be cool if they had a trained golden eagle fly around before the game and then land on its falconer's (eagler's?) arm.  Is that a thing?

LOL.  Looks like that eagle did some pregaming.

[mu_hilltopper]

Better video on that Eagle:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD1EvxL4aiA

Still my favorite MU opener:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NXHrc080-E

Nothing compares to Pray. They should just redo a version of that each year. This one...I don't know, feels kind of weak.

[#UnleashSean]

That video plays before this one.

[bobnoxious]

Pray by far is the best, the eagle reference tonight was like when the grinch's heart started to warm

[warriorchick]

That video plays before this one.

Golden Warrior has apparently never showed up to a game earlier than 5 minutes before tipoff.

[jsglow]

I kinda like this one. I think for me the darkened BMO Harris gives a new beginning feel. Clearly only snippets of actually game footage are possible.  And incorporating the students is a nice touch. Having a real eagle fly around and scare the pants off Providence (among others) would be fun.

Still with the practice uniforms?

They were unsurprisingly better than last year's actual student section.

LOL we could train the eagle to divebomb Cooley.  He'd have to go back to the locker room to change his pants.

My favorite was still the "beats bus" one my freshman year.

[Galway Eagle]

My favorite was still the "beats bus" one my freshman year.

That one was decent but I didn't think it was exceptional. It beat the failed attempt at street ball from 2011. I'd rank them as 1) 09 (pray). 2) 10 (i am hustle) 3) 12 beats bus 4) this one 5) 11 street ball 6) last years 7) 13 8) 06 giants around Milwaukee and the worst were the old videos where it'd be thunderstruck or fatboy slim playing as the Marquette logo goes across the screen.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I think last year's was very good. The team was bad, but I liked the video.

I thought the speech in it was good but didn't like the actual video itself. The players hanging out doing flips and stuff just wasn't much hype to me.

[MUEng92]

Still with the practice uniforms?

Exactly my thought.  Is there a big new uniform reveal that they are trying to keep secret?  If not the practice uniforms in this year long video was a bad idea in my opinion.

Dickie over Thomas as the announcer?

That was what - two seconds?  You must be a video production connoisseur.

What the game videos need is a shot of a Golden Eagle dragging a Wildcat, a Bulldog, a Hoya (whatever that is), and a Friar off a cliff to their deaths!!!!  (The Blue Demon will already be down there on the rocks).

Dickie over Thomas as the announcer?

#outrage

"I think this kid is special, he's really special."  Does Thomas do over the top anywhere near as well as Duke's Dickie?

Besides, like it or not we're Duke West now.

#Collins didn't get it done soon enough
