ummm wow. I'm with you.  Evan was great and definitely spoiled us.  I'm thinking that it'll get better as time goes on, and he continues to get experience.

If you didn't pay close attention in the first 5 seconds you don't even know what team it is.  Yikes!

Knowing who they've hired, and knowing that person isn't in Athens yet, I'm not terribly worried by this yet. Yes, we will miss Evan tremendously, he had (has) a phenomenal talent, but I certainly do not expect this to be indicative of what we can expect going forward, either.

I know who they've hired as well to take over Evan's old job, and I can say, quite frankly, he is no Evan Shaw

Sometimes, people don't know what they had until it's gone.

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I know nothing about who was hired but he/she better up the effort. 

Looks like some of the promo vids other schools did to copy CAT Evan's work. They were...uh...not good.

By all means, then, let's pile on the guy (or woman) before he or she begins work.

Praying for another season of Relentless but without Evan I assume it's doubtful. Seriously think his work helped OUr program out with recruitting and making OUr team feel special.

Wow.

This thread has me wondering if expectations are higher for the team or  the video coordinator.  Please, everyone take a deep breath.  Near as I can recall, the outcome of exactly 0 games was decided by who put out the better pre-game videos  (or which band performed better at half-time, for that matter).  Just sayin'.

You don't think the recruits watch these videos when they are deciding on a school? Every part of the program is used as leverage in recruiting battles. Videos, facilities, the band, cheerleaders, fans. Everything helps.

I'm just saying, I'm already very familiar with this guy's work, and I know of at least 10 people that are more qualified...

So, you clearly have an agenda.  I'll wait to see his work before passing judgement.  And let's face it, the program is not going to live or die based on our motivational videos.

Exactly. These things were "nice to haves" but programs don't live and die because of videos. Hopefully we can all give the new guy the benefit of the doubt.

That camp open video is great.  Concise, showcases our players in unique ways, ends with TheBigMan firing us up.

I don't at all get the objections.  Evan was terrific.  Absolutely.

Now, look at that video as if he'd done it.  What would you think?

Does the vid fire you up for some OHIO FOOTBALL!

This is who we are talking about correct, Tanner Smith, the new Assistant Athletic Director for Multimedia Marketing?



With an Emmy nomination for his work on Temple TUFF, evidently some (including those at OHIO) think he has some talent.  Here is an example of that work - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8EC9F0kP4U

Considering he was not in town yet for the video in question, I would not base his work on it.  It was OK for what it is and who was available to work on it.

Things are really going to get started in a couple of days...it's Football time!! Let's GO BOBCATS!!!

That video is terrible.

Expectations are high for Shaw's replacement, as they should be. There's no reason we should expect or accept a drop off in quality of our video productions. We've got to move past this country bumpkin "we don't deserve to have nice things so just appreciate what you got" mentality and continue pushing this program, and the university, forward.

This thread is really, really bad. 

 Looked to me like the players were having some fun. Probably turn off the more serious recruits.

Agree--I bet the players enjoyed it.  You should too.

What is there about it that irks you naysayers?  Remember:  this is clearly for the team and Ohio fans.  Given the lack of dialogue and much to indicate that it's O H I O, this is not build us up with those who don't know us.  This is for those who already know.

This is for us.  This is to spark the season.  Get aboard with Crutch.  Gotta love it.
