- Finishing this video
now is so crazy considering what's transpired in the last
couple days. What was going to be a final push to
convince Pete to shoot some stuff for The Raiders, now
simply becomes a love letter for the students documenting
an incredible memory. For them? This will be something
they'll watch 20 years from now on a pair of glasses and
just be thrilled they can re-live it like this. Their
fresh, youthful faces inspired and ready to take on the
world. Even my gruff and gritty demeanor can appreciate
how that felt now 30 years ago for me. And to be honest?
I feel it more now than most my age so I'm pretty lucky.
-
- So enjoy what it's
like to be in Pete's presence as he let's the class know
what it's like to walk the tunnel on gameday and end with
some words of wisdom about what it's like being on a
team.

- I will say this: as a
Buckeye... that shit was hard to put together. Not
Xichigan hard, doing that for them would've require hard
drugs and therapy, but hard nonetheless because Pete
Carroll and USC beat our ASS and Hef doesn't let me
forget it.
-
- That being said, this
video will always hold a place in my heart because of
what it took to be in the position to produce this. All
of it required a series of people that really didn't know
me continuing my journey step-by-step. That video took JD
introducing me to Roman, Roman introducting me to Hef,
Hef introducing me to Jeff, Jeff introducing me to Yoda,
Yoda introducing me to Dave, and finally Dave letting me
shoot the class and making sure Pete saw my reel before
it started. Unbelievable.
-
- This shit doesn't
happen overnight, but it usually doesn't take over a year
and need every bit of 6 people's help and belief to get
to the one person that can say "yes" and that person
actually saying "yes". And as a Buckeye I just have to
accept that that person is Pete Carroll.
-
- LMFAO.
-
- Hey - at least Chip
Kelley is the offensive coordinator for The Raiders now
and if I get the chance... I cannot WAIT to say
GOBUCKS to that badass. Time depending, I may
have a few questions about that Xichigan game to be
honest. I'll try not to blow up my entire company just to
get some answers on that one.

-
- Alright - meeting
with Yoda later today to show him some more stuff that
I shot during the Rams game (16 months ago - wow)
and tomorrow, gasp, a corporate Delorean gig! Then the
Dodgers!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
