RE: The Rockets Are Coming
I'm sure if someome took EMU footage and out music behind it with Ron English saying some inspirational crap you could make the Eagles look like they are "coming". This reminds me of how the heat held a pep rally before they ever won a single game. The rocked are claiming their spot on top before playing a single down.

Campbell has a lot of PJ Fleck in him, they both don't realize they are coaches now.

The fact that video leads off with their recruiting is so perfect. Toledo football: recruiting champions.

Maybe they can hold Lynch under 400 yards in the 3rd quarter this year.

I love them showing Campbell's pregame speech before our game. How'd that one go?

I hate Toledo, but love the rivalry. Another reason to hate Toledo, they stole our Finance Department Chair Marc Simpson, he recently announced he's leaving NIU for Toledo. Huskies 35 Toledo 17

The video itself was well done. I liked the pre-game scene where you could see the NIU sideline and the Toledo sideline and they were jumping and staring at each other.

But man, I agree on the comments. The comment about the Heat was spot on. Paper champions.

4 straight recruiting championships. Great! If only they had a catchy aquatics based slogan, they could be champions on the field too.

... But the their coach yelling "F--- these guys" as they came out onto the field at Huskie Stadium didn't make the final cut of the video. 03-shhhh

They're champions of their own fans' hearts. Isn't that enough?

Some strategically placed game footage. Guess their message is "Come to Toledo and get a chance to play in Huskie Stadium."

"Over the past year or so, Matt Campbell and his Toledo staff have rolled out some of the best videos in the MAC and beyond."

LOL!!!! Really? Maybe they need to watch more Huskie Vision.

LOL... Toledo's football marketing:

* 4 straight recruiting championships
* Great non-conference scheduling
* Excellent home attendance
*
8 consecutive seasons without a MAC Championship berth

After watching that video it's no wonder why so many people have a poor perception of Toledo. At least they prominently displayed Northern Illinois University in it.
