I even have it somewhat storyboarded in my head. Now if I could just do video graphics as well as I can do websites....

EDIT:
Here's just a real quick version I put together with a few resources available online using that new version of the Rocky theme song. So, you can imagine what someone with actual video editing training, video editing software (and graphics generation software), and a bit more time (this took me about an hour) could put together (sorry about that ad...Youtube threw that on there)

Jezz Scott is there anything you can't do?

All things Rocky for me = all things good (5th Rocky Movie not included)

Well, I'm only 5'5", so I do have trouble reaching stuff on the top shelf and I can't dunk a basketball ;)

Yea, that's the thing I like about that song:
1. Rocky Theme Song...Rocky Mascot
2. The chiming bells harkens back to music like Ennio Morricone's Ecstasy of Gold from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" and from other movies of the same genre, which are....Westerns (some of the best)

I just pulled the highlight stuff straight from a youtube video that the Athletics Department put together with highlights from the first half of the season:

If I was REALLY putting something together for that purpose, there'd be more animated graphics, I'd use some highlights from "back in the day" as well early on...kinda like how they do now, and do one of those where you see faded versions of names (like 30% opacity) floating right to left "behind" the video and being visible on the wide edges of the video board, likely go with the All-Americans that we've had (Pages 50-51 of the media guide). Of course all the text would actually be in the fonts that we actually use for athletics, and there'd be some other graphical enhancements, but that's kinda the kinda the idea is was thinking of.
