I tried quoting my two favorites, but apparently we can only post one video at a time. This is by far my favorite, as it was my birthday and the biggest win in school history. A close second is the Homecoming one, as I started going to games at the age of 4 with my dad, so plenty of cool (notice I didn't say good, haha) memories in there.

Anyone care to elaborate/confirm? Why are they done doing something fans really love?

They are doing a documentary style video this week. Since cyclones.tv/JW keep saying this week, I assume that means hit tapes will be back in the following weeks.

Not a hit tape, but one of my favorite Cyclone football highlight videos. It's a 2009 season review and was made by one of our very own: labontefan31.

I still get chills

I love this video in general, but really love the part around 1:52 where the kid stands there stone faced saying "oh my God.." while his girlfriend jumps around, then hug in celebration.
Assuming I'm roughly the same age as him (junior at ISU), I completely 100% relate to the situation (and probably did the exact same thing). The amount of relief and redemption that game provided after years of frustration.

Since Hit Tape's are done (RIP). I figured we needed a thread going before kickoff to post the best.

This one has been my favorite since it came out.

Wait, how did I miss that the Hit Tapes were done?

I thought...

What?

I'm.... I'm going to cry....

I believe that one poster posted that it was his 15 year old son and 15 year old niece if I read it correctly.

Not a hit tape, but a pretty good SC recap of the game that still gets me emotional.

Hit Tapes aren't done for.

I think you're right. They did one for the grounds crew. Feels like maybe they just won't do every week.

Having the grounds crew one be the last one would be like having a popular TV series end with a cut to black in mid-sentence.

Good lord, there really should have been about 4 more ISU touchdowns in that video. Oh well, the W is still nice.

However, for non-hit tapes, this one is pretty damn good:

That was awesome. I really wish Jared Barnett was still a Cyclone. TCU, TTech, OSU. No one can take that away from Jared. Hats off to the hat trick Mr. Jared Barnett and good luck showing them a few more at your current Illinois St. FB home.

I'm not so sure the documentary style tape isn't a one time thing at the beginning of the season. I guess we'll see.

But my favorite is the Soundoff Cold Cut after the OSU win (no, it's not an "official" hit tape).

The Lattimer clip at the end of that one is awesome.
