Where Are the Hype Videos?

Two years ago we were fed a constant stream of hype videos, pretty cool. They put out fewer of them last year......have not seen any trying to sell tickets this year. What gives? Is Gary B. pre-occupied? Marketing department down-sized? I need my fix.
 
There's always the Iowa Edge videos they did last summer too. We're lucky to have such an awesome video department.
 
I hate to nit-pick, but this bothers me...bad.
1. Why would an Iowa hype-video lead with a heart-wrenching loss clip?? I honestly was waiting for some idiot-Cyclone to show his @ss at some point in the video.
and
2. Our colors are BLACK&GOLD - not yellow.
"Yellow" implies cowardice no matter how you slice it.

Yes the Black and Yellow stuff bothers me too, as a matter of fact the only uniform change I would like to see is Iowa go to more of an old gold, but to hear people refer to Iowa's colors as yellow is just ignorance. I am pretty sure that video was not put out by the U of I, at least I hope not.

The other pet peeve is the Iowa band playing Sweet Caroline, that will forever be ingrained in my mind as the song that the ISU band played as the clown fans stormed the field in their 3 OT win in Lames.

Purdue is black and gold. Iowa is black and yellow. But gold rolls off the tongue more smoothly so call it whatever you want. It's a catchy tune and goes well with Iowa athletics.
 
So, maybe they should actually use old gold instead of yellow... cuz what you see is yellow, not old gold. Right?
I'm not sure if it is yellow.....but I know it is not old gold, especially compared to the old uniforms.....gold maybe. Down below this post, where it says "similar threads", that to me is gold, not yellow. But what the hell do I know, I'm not a painter, or a designer.
