ESPN College Football Hype

[WickedOrange]

Anyone see the college football hype commercial featuring the HCDB locker room speech?

Just saw it on ESPN2... it's sweet!

GO ORANGE!

 

[RandomGuy]

Yep... It was on a coaches Twitter. Sweet it is.

 

[DomeStranger]

This one?

[RandomGuy]

Older, but I was thinking this one.

If we don't take that clip of "Who's house? Our house" and play it over the dome loudspeakers every game, it's a missed opportunity. Everyone in the Loud House needs to chant that as the players rush on the field.

I've only listened to the video 3 times since waking up this morning.

Maybe that's what they are thinking.

 

[UnknownOrange]

I still can't get over how laughable the "Princeton review" is

Amen to this.

Great clip. Didn't care to see one of our guys get hurdled by Lamar(?), but exposure is exposure.

 

[Trueblue25]

Lmao my sections louder than the entire student section. Kids gotta learn how to drink and show up, its half empty 75% of the time

 

[Chip]

We should probably advertise that our DBs are taller this year when that clip comes up.

 

[Marroniac]

Maybe that's what they are thinking.

Or they took another one of my ideas from this board. I'm still waiting on a royalties check for coming up with orange is the new fast.

This certainly is the influence of Wildhack. He is milking that video for all its worth.

I'm as big a Wildhack fan as any, but - he doesn't work at ESPN anymore. How would he have any influence on programming or marketing there now?

ESPN is likely running this clip, simply because it's freaking awesome. And Dino is a rockstar in it.
It went viral for a reason.

It doesn't matter that the guy who happens to sign Dino's checks, also happened to work at ESPN prior to this gig.

Probably worded that poorly. It's a good combination - a great video - and someone who knows it's value.

Remember Dino didn't want it publicized after it happened. I would guess someone in the ADs office saw it and recognized its appeal and convinced Dino. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Wildhack himself. Wouldn't also be surprised if Wildhack had seen Babers speeches before and directed them to be filmed for other promotional purposes.

I also think you underestimate Wildhack's impact on our increased presence st ESPN. I don't think it's a coincidence that the first year of Wildhack, Babers ends up on the National Championship live film room. There are other examples.

Wildhack has a marketable coach...and he's marketing it well...and it certainly does matter that Wildhack used to work at ESPN.

You're entitled to your opinion - I just think everybody is giving Wildhack WAY too much credit for this.
Videos don't go viral because one (currently) fairly insignificant college's AD wants them to, regardless of his former position.

IF we still had FHCSMFS instead of Dino, but had Wildhack as his AD - do you think there's a viral video, or he's on the NC live film room?
Highly doubtful. That's ALL Dino being Dino.

Babers is getting this pub because he's a delight. He's intelligent, insightful, funny, and a quote machine.
The media loves him. And with good reason. He makes their jobs easier just by being himself.

Somebody has to pick up the phone and say check this guy out to someone on the other end of the line who cares (or email, but the point remains).
