D'Who?

So a hype video about a hype video.

This guy isn't even the Steward of Gondor.

The Maize Halo is D'Mello, right?

Nah I don't think so. Actually went to high school with Luke (D'Mello), and he's not one hype himself up like that. Shit, it was a while before he learned how to embed videos for the board :)
Always makes me happy how much people like his hype videos though!
August 31st, 2023 at 12:12 PM ^
LOL I still can’t embed for shit 😂

Am I the only one who enjoys context?

Wasn’t making a hype video at all for the season opener. I’ve been working nonstop at Disney due to some personal reasons had to take off 3 months last year so had to make up a ton of time. Ive been traveling through Spain France and Italy at the moment where I actually had some time to work on a season opener video while moving from city to city on our bus (not the most ideal place to do editing but it worked)

So you're working for Disney and you've been traveling through Spain, France, and Italy on a bus.
Are you wearing a Mouse costume during the stops?
August 31st, 2023 at 12:48 PM ^
Awesome life, Mello! Hope you enjoy Europe and I appreciate your videos.

This one was pretty good
In honor of game week, I cut a Michigan Football trailer/hype video, combining Jim Harbaugh Burger Gate with Oppenheimer to create OPPENBURGER. pic.twitter.com/4aKpMFsN7Z

Speaking of "improper benefits" I just came across this item about NFL HOFer Hugh McElhenny, who was an All American RB at the University of Washington in 1949-1951:
"After denying rumors for decades, in 2004 McElhenny confirmed that he received improper financial benefits from the University of Washington during his time there, which included a $300 monthly check. Per NCAA rules, the most a college can offer an athlete is a summer job and a scholarship covering boarding and tuition. A popular (albeit usually jocular) spin on the rumor was that McElhenny essentially took a pay cut when he left the university to play for the 49ers. This was not entirely untrue; all payments accounted for, including legitimate ones, McElhenny claimed he and his wife received a combined $10,000 a year while at Washington—with the 49ers, his rookie salary was worth $7,000."

$10K a year in 1951 was a good chunk of change.
Bag men are not a myth, and they've been around for longer than most of us here have been alive.

There are some nice voices on that video...

I know this is an mgoblog tradition, so I made this:

Well done. Hard to beat the original, but very good work here.
August 31st, 2023 at 4:32 PM ^
You continue to be a real go-getter.
Well done.
August 31st, 2023 at 1:25 PM ^
It's something you wait all offseason for!
Timer is set!
August 31st, 2023 at 4:26 PM ^
D’Best.
I just realized, I’ve never loved a team this much before even one minute of gameplay. Let’s gooooo!
August 31st, 2023 at 6:44 PM ^
Normally I'd delete a thread (such as this one) hyping a hype video once the actual hype video had it's own thread. But not this time, since Seth and others posted some of their own interesting videos within this pre-hype thread.
Carry on...

Incredible work.
