Wasn't that impressed with the video or rap, and that was one of the more awkward booth interviews I've seen.

I thought the full video was okay but I completely agree about the interview.   I was cringing the whole time and they kept it going for no apparent reason.

I love rap music and I thought the video was hilarious. Our pathetic fans didn't even clap when Bob Walter was honored on the field during the Temple game. At least the BGSU students know who built the new arena thanks to that video. The funniest part of the booth interview was when the rapper asked, "Where my Falcons at?" and one of the clowns calling the game replied, " Actually, they are on the 5 yard line.". LMAO!!!

I just keep thinking that question would play well in a Ingmar Bergman film.

Great comeback by the Bobcats last night and good luck in the championship game. I'll be rooting for you. If NIU wins as expected, it will be quite a match up. Harnish is a tremendous player, but I think the Bobcats have the balance necessary to win. And a great kicker.

You witnessed our seventh loss in the last 24 games on the last play of the game. Not the last series or losing late. Seventh on the last play. Gee whiz, we need to get better and a little luckier. When you add in our schedule- WMU/NIU/UT/no Akron- you have to really make plays in every game quarter in and quarter out. We didn't but hopefully we can win in Buffalo. We return 18 starters and all specialists so that will help.

Stroh Center rap? I am amazed at these posts- everybody nationally from ESPN, SI bloggers, to Fox Sports to twitter feeders have been absolutely universal in praise. We have communications from athletics/develoment depts from likes of Auburn, UCLA etc not only praising it but asking about details. It has energized our alums all over the country. If they have any connection to the bldg/donors, they really appreciate it.

It is great.

Our student on ESPN last night soph Roscoe Blair is a fine young man. He did a tremendous job thanking our alums and donors and recognizing others. Might want to cut him some slack at age 19. The announcers did a very poor job holding him ands that is not his fault. He is a an excellent student. The production was handled by a number of young BG grads and others but the stars of the video are entirely BG undergrads. Additionally, if you know the donors shown as I do, the entire video becomes even more memorable and/or funny. Those four guys are miles away from that genre etc but were happy to play along and just have a little fun.

Yes, it is FUN!

Easy to criticize 10 minutes on ESPN w bumbling announcers but let's at least give BG some credit for an inventive approach to publicity and donor recognition and our students for thier hardwork. I realize this is the Bobcat board, but we are all the MAC. The building is a game changer for us. And the video is viral. It works. For us.

Good luck in Detroit. Go Falcons!

Mr F Fan is correct.  Had the entire video been shown to the TV audience the interview might not have been quite so horrific.  The fault goes to the TV crew IMHO for bringing in a student who was obviously not prepared to stand there and make intelligent comments about football, alumni and his "career" of 12 months.  What were they thinking?  They showed how much prep was done on their end when they wrongly tried to credit him with writing and producing the video.  I thought the young man did everything he could to save them but, alas, it didn't work

I wonder what they learned in that class because in my opinion those announcers were terrible. It wasn't the JV crew or the 3rd string. It was like ESPN found these guys on the street, gave them suits and told them to talk about MAC football for 3 hours even though they probably had never watched a MAC game. They made 5 year old comments that I couldn't believe a professional announcer was making for a DI FBS football game.

I suppose one question to be asked is that if the second quarter could be turned into an infomercial for a brand new basketball arena that can't sell out the grand opening, where was the opportunity for such a moment for Ohio during the Temple game.

I know of several campus rappers that could have used the ESPN exposure. And if it's because of the viral nature of Mr. Frack's dribbling, I know of about a gazillion page views of some dance our band did.

If this were the case then I don't remember whether it was him or the play by play who said it. If it was the play by play guy then Ray should've been able to correct him on the spot but didn't. When the MAC East records were shown in the 2nd half I believe one commented about how if we lost then he wouldn't want to be the one who had to figure out the tiebreaker for who won the East. Now I thought it was Ray who said this but if not he should've known that we had already beaten the 2 other teams Temple and Kent and had Miami the next game.

So even if he does do a MAC game every week he does a poor job of soaking up knowledge to help him sound like he knows what he's talking about. That is just 1 example but I deleted the recording I had of the game to go back and give you more.

I dug the video. Old dudes and cardigan rhymes? So full of win.

As for the announcers, one of them mentioned Weller being well out of range or something to that extent. Weller shoves it in his face, 49 yds, splits the pipes. I left the couch for that one.

We had the rap posted on this board recently, and as I remember it got good comments here.  

Hammer, meet nail.  I was only able to watch the time edited reair this morning on ESPN, and somehow the "infomercial" for the Stroh made the edit, but the Hershey punt block and several other key plays were cut from the rebroadcast.  Someone in CT really wanted that interview and infomercial to hit the airwaves to the detriment of what actually occurred on the field.
