I miss the hit tape. I prefer reused highlight footage vs reused cyclones.tv footage.
I've been wondering that myself. Rhoads has mentioned that over and over in interviews this last month.
Maybe our buddy Matt VanWinkle can do a CF hit tape every week. He does a great job for the site, although I know he now works for a station in DSM.
I like it, I hope they keep doing it. But it shouldn't be a replacement for hit tapes.
It sounds like there won't be a weekly hit tape this year. Remember, the same people who made the hit tape are now filling a dedicated television station too. I heard it took one person nearly a whole week just to put the hit tape together.
How could it take 40 hours to put a 2-3 minute clip together? I am no expert, but I have done a little bit of video editing. With the footage and editing capabilities they have one of those should take 10-15 hours max with a few exceptions. Some of the ones where they put extra effects into it (like the one after the Iowa game last year) may take a little longer. But it doesn't take that long to clip some footage up and cue it to the music.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Some grad assistant is lying their *** off.Because they get paid by the hour?

I'm trying to figure out why a person needs to watch clips from previous games to get jacked up to watch a live football game. Doesn't the combination of tailgating, drinking and atmosphere take care of that? Besides, none of you guys are hitting anyone, unless it's a drunk pantherhawk fan talking trash.
Always gotta ***** about something, I guess.
It's just all part of the lead up to the game I suppose. If ISU never had these I guess it wouldn't be an thing. But when you show Hit Tapes week after week for a few years (to large popularity) then it is natural to have some pushback when you take them away.
I suppose, but as was pointed out, there's no game to make a hit tip from yet, unless you want to see the Liberty Bowl highlight...
