Finally someone with full length video privileges posts the most watched YouTube football video in history on Twitter in its unedited form...instead of all these fake, poor man's, butchered copies that have gone viral over the years.

Cannot believe that none of these replay officials even mentioned something about a tied catch
Its all amateur hour everywhere in CFB. There are times when it is reasonable to be somewhat rushed when trying to decide on calls and time for refs and review officials to make sure they pay attention to details / make sure everything is as correct as possible.... and final plays of 4th qt and overtime drives are the latter
Miami - FSU: Read the rules Review officials before just saying something and saying agreed:
Simultaneous Catch
(NCAA Rule 7-3-6)When an offensive receiver and a defensive player complete a catch simultaneously, the possession goes to the offense

Rushing for 280+ yards was basically a guaranteed victory for #WVU.
Mountaineers were 20-1 the previous fourteen years.
They're 0-3 in the last three weeks.

This WVU defense has made more white guys look good these past two weeks than Abercrombie & Fitch in 1998.

The thing that’s awesome about college football is you have super secret clocks that don’t actually tell you how much time is left in a game and that a field goal might be both good and a miss at the same time.
Best sport in the world
Story behind the legendary video. Just missing the part about the cheerleader choreography that supported the atmosphere of that entrance.
The entrance video for the 2007 WVU football season took on a life of its own. Here’s the story behind that production and the original version that debuted on September 1, 2007.
I’ve never seen a higher level of excitement for a season than 2007. The team asked me to create the entrance video following the success of our recruiting videos. There were plenty of ideas on direction, but we ultimately settled on starting with a coal train emerging from the dark.
That train was brought to life by Daniel Pauley, an incredibly talented artist who worked with us at Pikewood Creative. He used high-end software to build and animate the train from scratch—a massive technical feat nearly 20 years ago.
Before it ever hit the stadium, word spread fast. The night before the home opener, the video leaked to YouTube and skyrocketed toward 40,000 views almost overnight, back when YouTube was still in its infancy.
When game day arrived, the atmosphere was electric. We did everything we could to amplify the crowd as the team took the field, even incorporating the band swaying to the music. Throughout the season, I kept it fresh by editing in big plays week by week.
That project ended up opening doors beyond Morgantown—Missouri brought me in shortly after to handle their football and basketball entrance videos, too.
It wasn't just Hawkins. DJ Epps. Cam was great. OL made a lot of progress. Defense was better (though it was a run heavy team which worked to our benefit). All good signs.

Personal Foul - Blocking out of bounds and we were blocking and it was called against UVA?? . Destiny is calling
I cannot get over the UVA DC with the headset and walkie talkie. Who is he talking to on the walkie that he can't talk to on the headset
