Some people on here have some unrealistic expectations. Its a "grassroots" video for the STUDENTS by the STUDENTS. You seriously expected DR. Dre and a million plus dollar budget???? All considered, It surpassed my "realistic expectation" and its hard to see why in anyway shape or form someone could call this video a fail. I really wish we would have had this prep rally crap before each home game when I went to school. The student section wasn't bad but it wasn't as unified as it should have been with all the greek blocks and the chants were usually go big red (nothing special especially when it only included a portion of the section) and we had the shoe thing (the only thing that was unique to the students). And maybe the students can finally figure out how to clap for the tunnel walk too!!! All in all it should be fun to see what the students and band can come up with.

Full football gear changes speed radically ("Football speed") because generally of added resistance to flexibility! The arm movement is far more restricted in pads then without. I would also imagine the pants, inserts and pads would add more resistance than sprinters spandex, but something tells me Nike is trying to close the gap. Now how does this translate to football speed vs. track speed. Lets say guy A is slower than guy B in the 40 m on the track but guy A is faster than guy B on the football field. How can we explain this? Guy B may have a greater Range of Movement through his shoulders, arms, and legs which compared to guy B may explain why he was slower in pads (yes arm/shoulder/core movement is crucial to speed, don't believe me? Try both ends of the spectrum, arms straight and shoulders perpendicular to track vs. full range of movement). Or we could say that both guy A and guy B are identical in size, weight, range of movement in sprint, etc. but vary psychologically. Guy A has a tough-man psyche, he embraces the extra resistance while guy B sees the pads as hindering his speed, complaining about it to himself, until the imagined difference becomes a real difference and completely believes he can not run as fast in pads and thus runs slower. Also another way to look at it is the difference in shoes, beyond the obvious difference in weight, sprinters spikes tend to force a person to run on their toes and the spikes are far more flexible thus less resistance(you can fold them in half without much effort). A football cleat has a much more rigid structure and has to be for obvious reasons and thus can not match the weight nor the flexibility of a track spike. The same biomechanics are in play with the foot just as with the legs, shoulders, and arms. In fact there are even more variables at play, and I really could go on for days about it but yes football speed is a reality, deal with it! Now for who is faster on the field, T-magic or D-Rob? Most likely no one will ever know because the difference is so minute. T-magic has an unbelievable burst and great top end and likewise with D-rob but it seems like it takes D-rob a few more steps to get up to top speed. When evaluating speed look at the time it takes between 10's or 5's, don't look at the leg speed! D-rob may appear to be running faster when looking at the legs but that is only due to his shorter stature (must cycle his step faster and no there is no way D-rob is 6' definitely closer to 5'10" than 6') In the end this discussion is pointless and silly but yet entertaining.

XI. Airborne receiver A85 grasps a forward pass and in the process of going to the ground, first contacts the ground with his left foot as he falls to the ground inbounds. Immediately upon A85 hitting the ground, the ball comes loose and touches the ground. RULING: Incomplete pass. An airborne receiver must maintain control of the ball while going to the ground in the process of completing a catch. NOT APPLICABLE, reciever was not airborne so everything in this rule DOES NOT apply to Holt's catch. XIV. Receiver A85 stretches out at the Team B two-yard line and grasps a forward pass and is going to the ground on his own as he is attempting to complete the catch. As A85 falls to the ground in the end zone, the ball immediately comes loose and falls to the ground. RULING: Incomplete pass. Any receiver going to the ground on his own in the process of making a catch must maintain control of the ball when he hits the ground. NOT APPLICABLE, This rule is used much like the one above. It is the exact same thing as being airborne but catching it at a different point in the descent. Think of it this way, there is no possible way in either circumstance that the reciever can stay on his feet. Holt could have physically regained balance and stayed on his feet. He wasn't dragging feet, he was taking steps! Any rule that says something to simultaneous hitting the ground and losing football. NOT APPLICABLE, He is down when his knee touches. He still has control at this point. Holt could have spiked the ball at this point. I am not being biased. If VT had did the same thing, I would have instantly thought they missed a call. If it makes it easier for you to get over the game that it was an incompletion then just say it already LOL because it was a TD!
