First off, let me say I am seriously impressed by the work of the digital marketing team this year. The 'Brick by Brick" series should win some awards. The last few seasons, they were really lagging behind other programs with creating content, social media, etc. They have really stepped up their game this year. It's great to see.

With that said, I think they should use the new song from Eric Church, "The Outsiders" to promote this year's Gopher football team in some way shape or form. The songs lyrics encapsulate the identity of this team as underdogs/uncommon. They could use it for a highlight video, or even an in-game "pump up the crowd" video/song. Anyone know a way to get this idea over to them? Maybe I'm too country/rock, but this song is bad a$$, and I'd be so jacked seeing a video produced matching it to football highlights. If nothing else, have a listen.

They’re the in crowd, we’re the other ones
It’s a different kind of cloth that we’re cut from
We let our colors show, where the numbers ain’t
With the paint where there ain’t supposed to be paint

That’s who we are
That’s how we roll
The Outsiders, The Outsiders

Our women get hot, and our leather gets stained
When we saddle up and ride 'em in the pouring rain
We’re the junkyard dogs, we’re the alley cats
Keep the wind at our front, and the hell at our back

That’s who we are
We do our talking, walk that walk
Wide open rocking
That’s how we roll

Our backs to the wall
A band of brothers
Together, alone, the Outsiders
We’re the riders, we’re the ones burning rubber off our tires.
Yeah, we’re the fighters, the all-nighters
So fire 'em up and get a lil higher

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh

We’re the bad news
We’re the young guns
We’re the ones that they told you to run from
Yeah, the player’s gonna play, and a haters gonna hate
And a regulators born to regulate
When it hits the fan, and it all goes down
And the gloves come off
You’re gonna find out just

Who we are
We do our talking, walk that walk
Wide open rocking
That’s how we roll

Our backs to the wall
A band of brothers
Together, alone, the outsiders

We’re the riders, we’re the ones burning rubber off our tires
Yeah, we’re the fighters, the all-nighters
So fire 'em up and get a lil higher

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride!....thanks for sharing. Turns out they don't need my advice. Who knew?

Apparently I need to buy some tickets and go to a game this year before I start taking over in-game production.

I hear there are some kindly priced tickets for the upcoming game this weekend.

Go to Goldy's locker room in the MOA and buy some gear and I guess they are giving away tickets in the upper student section for FREE! I'd call first though.
 


Right, lets blast something else out over the PA with a total lack of harmony.
