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. 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. No, you're not missing any sarcasm. So the Hoya fan slid down the hill on the cafeteria tray and knocked the snowman over? Why not show that? It's not like you need a stunt man, it's animation for crying out loud!
