Believe me, I even find this video to be a little melodramatic and "Last Chance U'ish." But, we are trying to reinvigorate a wounded fan base and get them excited for Vandal Football in the Big Sky Conference.
Wounded simply means we had success at the I-AA level only to spend the next 22 years jumping from conference to conference simply to play teams from Tennessee, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama. Additionally, we need to regain the fans that are a little let down from the drop down. This wasn't arrogance. We all know our record over the last two decades. It is a matter of "if they can do it, we can to." These fans would have pressed forward trying to achieve what others have done while doing it on the cheap.
For me, I am excited to see what Idaho can do at this level. This season is going to be fun.

The FCS Playoffs are fantastic... maybe they don't get the hype of the bowl games -- but that "win or go home, everything is on the line" feeling of a game is hard to beat. Hopefully Vandal fans embrace it like the rest of us!

For me, I am an ol' Big Sky guy. I tried walking on at Idaho at DE. It was an eye opening moment in my life. Even though I never played, I got a BSC championship ring. Before leaving for Iraq, I would give that ring to my friend that played all four years. He had three rings stolen. The talent we had was indescribable. Multiple NFLers that went on to Super Bowl wins.
For me, I look forward to the games on this year's schedule.
Re: Idaho Football video: The Return
Idaho is a team I will definitely be rooting for. Seems like a very hard working and dedicated group of guys up in Idaho. The FBS grass isn’t greener! The Vandals should return to FCS prominence once again someday soon. And thats where they belong.
Re: Idaho Football video: The Return
Any positive thoughts would be welcomed! At the FBS level, we only had success about once every seven years. Hopefully, we can reduce the periods of drought at the FCS level.
The Big Sky Conference, though, isn't much of a drop in talent from the Sun Belt Conference, according to Sagarin. The Vandals will still have to play up each week. A record of 7-4 this year is possible.

I'm with you 100% and this has always been my stance. A bowl game doesn't mean **** to me at all. But an FCS playoff game...any FCS playoff game is a must see event and when my team is in ti....holy **** it means everything.
It doesn't draw the ratings? WGAF? I ain't there watching it because some dumbass in some other state(s) cares about it. This is my (our) thing and that is all I really care about I guess.
Re: Idaho Football video: The Return
Personally, I like the video with the interviews and the talks, but it is a little long to necessarily excite. For that, there needs to be some short attention getters done on a regular basis.
Re: Idaho Football video: The Return
Thanks all for watching.
I believe the intention is to put out a video weekly as the Vandals go through camp. It might extend into the season, with I would approve. Anything for recruiting the upcoming classes of Vandals, both students and athletes.

As you pointed out it is a bit derivative but it is a nice effort the school is making and it is still enjoyable to watch. Please dear god don't let these guys do some cheesy BS like we've seen from other schools over the last 5 yrs. xlolx
This is golden compared to some of the dance crap and the unveiling of uni's and the C-A-T-S video.

Yeah, not a hype video but a short doc series on coming back so it is a good series and I will watch them all if you bring them.
