This stuff needs some credit

If any of you have been on my Facebook recently you will have seen a video that acts as a pump up for the upcoming NCAA football season. (35 DAYS TILL KO!). I came across this video whilst searching for official hype videos for the Oregon Ducks and the NCAA made by ESPN, but frankly these are better. If you are a fan of American football in the UK you will usually have only been exposed to the NFL. The clever ones all know college football is where its at. Better playbooks, more exciting plays and a less even game all make for superb watching. Here's the video I put up, and if your not even a little intrigued in college football after it/impressed by the video I wouldn't bother reading here anymore.

Just to let you guys know, I watched it twice the first time I came across it and have since watched it in HD on a 42 inch TV and it was even better. Now the video was compiled by a guy on Youtube called theSeanGshow. He has put together an outstandingly well cut up video, pieced together with a top track that fits perfectly to the high quality clips he has chosen. I applaud you sir.

His other videos are of the same quality and the double plus is that he seems to be an Oregon Ducks fan, just like myself. This is his Oregon hype video for the upcoming season. Love the tune, love the plays. Oregon's offense is out of this world. De-Anthony Thomas is not completely human.

You like hardest hit videos? He has them too, here's his go. The big difference in all of his work is the quality of the video he uses.

Having watched these videos, I wanted to write a blog and show my extended Internet universe the quality of them as well as to further expose you all to college football. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

p.s on a closing note, he doesn't just stick to football. For the wrestling fans out there, and seeming it was RAW 1000 this week take a trip down memory lane and see how many of these clips you can remember watching. Wrestling - a weekly soap for men.

Waw That Was Fast - 3 Years Done and Dusted

From this

in just under three years.

A (non-exhaustive) list of things that have changed between now and then: I've grown 2 inches, I've put on two stone of (mostly) muscle, I have a girlfriend, I have a degree, I have a job and I've had the three best years of my life so far. Aberystwyth, who would have thought such a small student filled town could provide such laughter and enjoyment. I've changed from unemployed red faced teenager to a handsome young man (apparently) with a graduate job.

I was lucky enough to have three years filled with good housemates. Firstly in 128 PJM and then the last two years spent in the now legendary 16 Prospect Street. I will miss college football Saturdays, NFL Sundays, the vast amount of days spent playing games, watching films and chilling out. However I wont miss is the messy kitchen and overflowing bins. Living with you guys has been superb. Its been outstanding gents, including our regular visitors.

Changing my degree scheme going into second year was a necessary change, it would appear that years of beer and contact sports has rendered me a lot stupider than I used to be. With all that has been said and done, I would not have changed anything of my university experience if I had to go back and do it again. I joined a team that is more than just a team, and although we weren't successful it definitely made my university experience. I am now part of a family that will keep me connected to Aber for years to come. Thank you to everyone involved with Tarannau, its been a blast.

So now life presents me with a new challenge. For those of you that don't know I will be starting a graduate scheme with a popular bank in September. I will be moving to Bath for the first 6 months of my scheme. Strange place, still wondering if a small town Welsh boy will fit in. In the words of a dear friend of mine "There's always room for another exile". A flat of my own, and a new rugby club will hopefully help me pave my latest path.

So this is me at the moment, I've enjoyed being back in the world of blogging and will be returning quicker than the last time I left. Thanks Aber for the last 3 years.

p.s As its the 50 year anniversary of the Rolling Stones, here's my favourite song they ever made. Enjoy it, always reminds me of Sevens in second year.
