The Blitz

[uconnbill]

Nice 18 minute piece on the Towson game and interviews with Coach Weist and Whitmer plus other tidbits

 

[UConn Dan]

plus other tidbits

Plus Emily Noonan?

Very nice. "The Blitz" graphics could have been a little more pro and the studio lighting needs work but other than that...nice production.

 

[Exit 4]

I thought it was an excellent production. Much better than I expected.

I agree, Chandler's a natural and I've always liked Sean Mulcahy. Emily's not too shabby either!

 

[Santini35]

Need better microphones...

A few things:

- Weist sounded like he was hoarse from yelling at practices
- Only 71 views of this thing on YouTube so far. Kind of a crime since there is some good stuff in there
- Geremy Davis just looks the part of a stud WR - I hope to God we can get him the ball and let him make some plays

Was kind of bummed TJ Weist shaved his goatee off, I was thinking of starting a parody twitter account, @CoachTJsBeard.

Because the video is also available through uconnhuskies.com's video player, that might reduce the view count on youtube.

First and foremost, Emily looked GOOD. Stunning.

Second, I really like TJ Weist in his interviews. He may very well be our head coach in 2014.

Third, I'm now equally as fired up for the game tomorrow as I am for NoRA's cupcakes.

The entire video I was hoping the top button on Emily's was going to pop off.

I didn't want to sound pervy but, yeah, that button was tantalizingly teasing for sure.

 

[minidarren]

Okay, I lie. I was hoping they all were gonna pop off.

 

[Jimdish255]

Great job by Emily. Not sure what anybody said but I'll fave anyway.

 

[Chin Diesel]

That was so easy to watch.

 

[Srqhusky]

1. Liked the mention of the word chaos on offense.

2 we may have a 1000 yard receiver this year geremy looks that good

3 stop saying I'm happy to be here after she says glad to have you

4 the sweater puppy thread seems to have people too jacked up. The sweater was as conservative as Barbara bush

Love NoRA's cupcakes but they are a little pricey. I do like the different flavors though.

I liked The Blitz a lot and think it is something the university would promote more to the average fan

 

[metsfan2323]

Sean Mulcahy has an "Enzo" haircut. It should also be noted that the cute blonde girl interviewed in the "know your foe" segment knew the answer to every question.

Holy crap, now I cannot stop thinking about bush...

 

[J187Money]

Finally watched. I was not initially a big fan of Emily but she has really improved. Well done. Liked the segments. She was good with the student interviews. I know we like to complain a lot but all of these new things are steps in the right direction. Keep it up!

 

[Whale22]

The unintentional comedy in the interview with that one student was unreal. Kid is geographically impaired, and to top it off I don't think he got Emily's sarcasm at the end telling him "Great Job." After seeing early comments from the board I was expecting far less. I thought it was very well done and any highlights actually corresponded with whomever they were speaking about. I thought it was very well done.

Biggest takeaway from a football aspect, I got the feeling that Weist is in total control of the offense.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Yeah when that kid wasn't sure if Maine was between Delaware and South Carolina, and then smiled at the camera, I almost lost it.

Overall pretty enjoyable and a good way to start Game Day.

 

[Kgun7]

Emily is vastly improving. There is a difference between "reading" to your audience and "speaking" to your audience ... and she is beginning to look and sound a lot more comfortable in front of the camera. I sincerely expect to see her on NESN in a few years! ... and easy on the eyes doesn't hurt!
