And Derek Cody would do a damn good job even if he didn't work for State when he did his videos.

I agree with you. Their videos as a whole are usually much better than ours... but I think this one is not one of their best efforts. The music is cool, but they have done much better in the past. I though't Derek's videos were better.

They have a good camera...

Their videos are good...but State could easily achieve this level of production..not sure why they are not.........

Our videos sometimes look like a community college video production team made them. I feel like this could be a legitimate reason to email the grasshopper. We have 30 seconds to make an impression to someone who might not have heard of us before, especially on nationally televised prime time games.

Only one problem that I see ... the video clips show several shots of the stands with very few people in them, especially the end zone bleachers and sideline seats at the goal line. They should have chosen sellout games to get the clips from.

You are the Jim Ellis of the message board. "You got to like the way...(the opponent is doing this or that)". 17 them and their videos. They will get drilled tomorrow. Make a post game video.

Yes, they are light-years ahead of us in the video department... kudos to OM

I first noticed this a couple years ago and I am honestly jealous... they have jackshit to get pumped up about, but those vids are so well done that even I am pumped about OM during those vids.... At least we aren't still bumping that pseudo-techno music and 80's computer graphics for our coach's anymore.....maybe we still are, I haven't seen it in a while.

This OM video (below) from a year or two ago was the first that really caught me eye. It's so well done that I thought it was a legitimate Gatorade commercial the first time I saw it. It literally presents ZERO accolades, accomplishments, or highlights .... but it's startling better than anything that I remember us putting out....EVER!



We have taken the initiative in nearly every modern media avenue, except highlight vids/youtube.... hint hint, grasshopper.... where is that guy that used to make MSU vids in his spare time but was hired by EMCC to make awesome highlight vids for them?

BTW, that OM video in the topic post was stellar until they spliced-in that whiney, sad-bastard, new-age rock version of "In the Air Tonight." I don't know if the video also digressed but at that point I had to turn it off within seconds.... turrible

And whoever disgraced Phil Collins with that Nickelbackesque BS should be shot. That and the ridiculous highlights of passes to the flats.

I was equally as offended at the lack of respect shown to Phil Collins. I felt like I got teleported to a Hot Topic store.

So this video was made for this weeks game? And there is an OM kid holding up the "hookem horns" sign? Awesome. Way to go, Dumbasses.

Our athletic dept missed on at least one other one who would have been great....lots of politics in that place....just like all others I guess.

Good. I do have to wonder if they got the music clearances for that. It is not the same game it used to be for using popular music on videos distributed on the web or played in front of a crowd any more.

It'd be great if we made our coaches's shows, hoops and gridiron, worth watching. I'd much prefer commentary to dumb, upbeat music during the replays. Ole Miss does this. We've got so much to say and show, and it's hard for me to understand why we consistently choose junior-high level pizzazz over saying it and showing it. This is just one of the issues that makes our jumbotron a mixed blessing at best.

WHY IS THIS NOT OFFICIAL!!!

Stuff like this should be put out by our athletic department. This is the exact kind of promo/pump up video that should be done by our people yet other folks are doing it and no one sees it.

This video is badass, man! Props to you for it and I hope they hire someone like you or the guy from EMCC to change the direction of the media they are putting out. It's bad when EMCC has a better dept than we do. Some of the stuff MSU puts out looks like highschool quality material...really.

If you take a turd, and put it in a really nice box. Then put a real purty bow on it. Sure, it will get you excited when you see it. You can't wait to open it. However, in the end you still have a turd. In case you missed it- their football team is the turd. Hotty Turdy Football

What was so good about it? Football highlights over music. But I liked the shot of the guy catching a pass on his knee short of the 1st down. Wallace throws a nice duck too. Hotty toddy Steve.

I bet Joe would take the video project and run with it. If anyone's going to email anyone, it needs to be to him or Carskadon.

The JUCO video project is pretty accurate.

I agree. ESPN The Season is 30 For 30 quality.

At minimum we should shift our show to some reality/documentary style thing instead of the 40 year old format with coach & radio guy talk show. The change would bring a better show and probably not require any time from Mullen or Wyatt.

The show should simply follow players and coaches around during game week and gameday and have a little narration. And obviously have some game highlights.

Coukd go a step farther and have a sideline camera and parabolic mic following our people on the sidelines. NFL Films style. Audio & video of reactions to stuff on the field.

I couldn't agree more, we need to hire Derek. His work is better than any we have had at M.S.U period.

Scott Stricklin I know you read this board you need to get your *** in gear and hire Cody he is talented.
