Re: I miss the App State football videos, real bad
When I was on the video staff I filmed practices on a Sony hand-held camcorder (the kind most people used to film home movies of their kids born in 1995) from the top of a primitive scissor lift. I was sitting in the scissor lift when we all found out about the kid from Notre Dame who fell to his death in the same situation. Boone is one of the windiest places I've been. 
Anyway, those production guys spent ungodly hours in that room when I was there and I'm sure they still do. We got paid and got tons of free App gear but nothing to even come close to compensating those production guys for the sheer volume of hours they put toward those videos.
There is a reason Jake went from App to Louisville, and now to UGA: he's one of the best. It was the coolest job I've ever had, working for one of the coolest men I've worked with. I'm sure Jake is agonizing about Sept. 2.
I never met the new guy, but the production quality of his staff is still the best in the FBS. One of my favorite tailgate moments is hearing or shouting "MOTO's UP!" before briefly turning the music off and crowding around someone's phone.
Keep it up, team!
