Hoya Rival Reels 2.0

[hoyamarketing]

Fans, last year you captivated us with your creativity and mocked some of our biggest rivals into submission. Well it is time to get your creative juices flowing once again. So break out your thinking caps, put a new tape in your video camera and let the smack talk begin.

This year we are turning our attention to traditional BIG EAST rivals Connecticut, Syracuse, Villanova, Louisville and St. John's. That's right fans, talk a little video smack about our biggest rivals and if we like the video we will show your video on the jumbotron during the game!!! At the end of the season the producers of the best video will win tickets to see Georgetown play in the 2008 BIG EAST Championships including hotel accommodations.

Looking forward to it.

But Louisville = traditional Big East rival?

Hello, everyone.

For those of you who made it out to the Verizon Center for the game, you probably saw the Rival Reel, but we at Hoya Hoops are going to be making videos all season long. We made two for yesterday's UCONN game, but only one was shown on the big screen. If you want to check either of them out, they are up now. Thanks.

UCONN Rival Reel: Do Your Part

UCONN Rival Reel: Hoyasax

I loved the hoyasax one, I think its a classic, but when are there gonna be some new ones?

[Nevada Hoya]

Hey guys,

We made a Rival Reel for the Syracuse game, and we were actually pretty surprised that they chose to show just the other one. I thought they definitely could have squeezed it in since the game went to overtime. Anyway, if anyone is interested in seeing our video, you can find it at Hoya Hoops:

Let It Snow

Yea, if they are good they should show each rival reel, and not just the ones made by people linked to the program (ie, ones that have the mascot in them).

[bubbrubbhoya]

Last night's Rival Reel was not good...sorry. It looked inspired at the beginning (props to the Transformers voice over), but it pretty much fell flat. Need better videos.

I didn't think the other rival real was that great (a great concept that could have been executed a little better), but I can understand why they didn't choose this one. First, they've already shown at least one rival reel with the same theme and similar Charlie Brown-style music. Secondly, I just didn't get this one. I have a lot of questions: Why did the Hoya fan put Syracuse gear on a snowman to begin with? What was the deal with those cookies he swiped from the dining hall? Finally, are we to believe that the snowman destroyed himself because he was so ashamed of wearing Orange (actually Orangish brown) gear?

Now, I've never submitted a rival reel, so I'm susceptible to the "well, you didn't make anything better" argument, but I can certainly understand why the AD chose to go a different direction this time.

No offense, but the video seemed really similar to the one that came up at the UConn game. Same animation, same shop, same Peanuts-inspired music, same basic end.

I would love it if additional Rival Reels would be played, however. I also would love it if someone would do a mockup of the trailer for "Cloverfield", with the monster being Roy.

Come on, people - Villanova's up next! Their coach dresses like he's a GQ model, the city of Philadelphia has consistent sports failure and has evil fans and cheesesteaks. Maybe an "Invincible" parody?

I think the cloverfield idea would be hilarious have roy be destroying the city and then:

Nova player 1: What is that thing?
Nova player 2: I don't know, but it's winning.

Thanks for the interest in Hoya Rival Reels 2.0 and I like the ideas for parodies of Cloverfield and Invincible. Both of which would make great themes for a Rival Reel. Another idea could be a parody of Rocky… the list just keeps going and going.

I do want to emphasize that Hoya Rival Reels are open to everyone (students, alumni and fans) and that we will consider all videos submitted to AOL Video. Additionally, students on campus with ideas for a Rival Reel can come down to the Athletic Department and borrow a camera and other equipment, free of charge. Also, I know the library has computers with iMovie, Final Cut Studio and other editing programs that are a huge asset for the creation of Rival Reels.

With that said, I could not agree more with theexorcist in saying COME ON PEOPLE! The success of Hoya Rival Reels is in the hands of you, the fans!!! While I encourage the proliferation of ideas here, I hope that you will take the next step and CREATE A REEL OF YOUR OWN!

If you have any questions or want to create a video, please do not hesitate to email the Athletic Marketing Department at [e-mail].

I might be missing some sarcasm here, but I thought it was pretty clear what happened to the snowman. I remember when I was a freshman we used to steal the trays from the old New South cafeteria and slide down that hill whenever it snowed. It definitely would have been more fun if there were Syracuse snowmen to run into.

But as to hoyaparanoia33's original post, I don't know if I would have shown an extra Rival Reel during overtime. I think those videos can spur the opponent, and I wouldn't risk anything in OT.

Except for the Marquette one. That was awesome.

At least two or three SU players were looking up at the Telscreen DiamondVision instead of listening to Boeheim when the reel ran.

[CTHoya08]

I also had no idea what was going on in that snowman video. Or the one they showed, for that matter, although I haven't seen Transformers.

[mapei]

I thought the one they showed was just awful compared to the one at the UConn game, which was great.
