The best part is that it looks like they'll be doing one every week.

Rod's speech before the game. THAT is how you fire up a team.

Rod in the locker room, that was pretty cool. Especially since he's been quoted before as saying he isn't really a rah rah speech guy prior to games. Unfortunately, that speech likely didn't work but this year will be different.

He happens to be really good at firing up his team with speeches. It's just his thing. I wish I could be there this saturday for his pregame speech. That shit would probably make WMU wet themselves.

I think this was done by Old Hat Creative (www.oldhatcreative.com) which is a really cool ad/marketing agency for a ton of college athletic teams. Their website is pretty cool to look at, and they're all pretty good guys too.

That is a pretty awesome site they have there. Seems like a young group who really know what people want to see. A lot of really cool print work too.

After watching that I am even more pumped up for the game and I didn't think that was possible. I think these next few days may be really tough to get through waiting for the game. +1 for the find

all I get from link is a background screen with the stadium, Same in IE or FF. Anyone know if there is something that needs to be installed to play the video? I don't see any control pop-ups. EDIT: Works on my other PC, must be something loaded on my DEV machine stopping it. Great pump up video, are these the same videos they play on the big screen before game? From this company?

I don't know what to tell you on the website, but if you've got iTunes you can download the video and watch it... the link is on the left side of the page.

But for me it was only black for about a minute and then the video started. My internet at work is slower today than usual so I had to pause it and let it load all the way then watch it. I don't know how long you waited but if you didn't wait long just be patient.

Because if you're going to have dramatic drums in your background music, making sure you get the Michigan Marching Band some love is a natural. Very nicely put together.

The way you phrased this, I read it as "I use my 9 month old son as a tackling dummy". ...I waited until mine was 24 months for that ;)

Maybe it was leaked early and has been subsequently pulled? I don't know. I could watch it earlier, but now it's not working for me either. Perhaps a better question would be is this STILL working for anyone?

Same here. Saw it at work earlier today (both short and long versions) and now at home I wanted to watch it again on my computer with much better sound. Same thing everyone is saying... just takes me to the general oldhatcreative site. :(

Same here. I watched it at work today (sort of) and it kept buffering so I wanted to watch it tonight. No dice. If you go to the main page and click on the Michigan "M" you can take a look at some other videos/art that they have done. I can't find this video though. I bet it was leaked. By the way, someone do this and take a look at the "turnover" and "touchdown" videos. Please tell me these won't be played this year. They look like something you'd see in Madden 93 for SNES.

Their regular preview video, under the video tab, has a lot of M content. I don't think it's the video everyone's talking about though. I'm bummed, I missed it. Hopefully it is the pregame video, and I'll see it when I get to the game?
