It’s time for Vols fans to get excited about Tennessee football. The NBA and NHL seasons are over. So is the MLB season for fans of half the baseball teams anyway. And the start of the 2017 college football season is less then three months away.
Everybody in Knoxville is ready for SEC Media Days to begin in July and for August practices to start. And they are psyched about the start of the season on Labor Day in Atlanta against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
As a result, the UT athletics program is working to build hype around the football season. And they released this hype video to get everybody going.
Yes, we are now going to analyze the five-minute video. Quite frankly, it was a bit to cliche.
Even though it gets the people going, the song ‘Thunder’ has been used way too often as a hype song. And slow motion shots of the players preparing for games last year were a bit too easy. Evan Berry’s kickoff return for a touchdown as the first major highlight was too old as well, since it happened in 2015.
However, the start with the Vol Walk and the exterior shots of Neyland Stadium were pretty epic. And you knew the Jauan Jennings touchdowns against Florida and Georgia last year belonged.
Add him in with John Kelly’s highlights against Nebraska in the video, and it’s enough to get you excited about what the offense can be this season.
