Title: Trash Talking Via Social Media
Post by: GoodScout on October 27, 2011, 07:41:50 AM

Welcome to the 21st Century, guys. Now before a big rivalry, we have trash-talking via YouTube:

And the inevitable response:

Bet the emotions will be high for this one Friday night!

As an aside, I'm depressed by the quality of production these high school kids can do these days. I can't even get my VHS home movies transferred to DVDs! :-[

Guess it is better they do this than vandalize each other's facilities like "I hear" some folks used to do back in the day

Kids these days...   ;D

While I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea, I thought the videos were great and seemed to be in good fun.  I didn't really see any proverbial lines crossed lyrically and the production quality was great.  Impressive on both sides.

Wow, those were great!  All in fun I hope.  I think Grayson better watch themselves.  Brookwood looks like they have a record of winning!

Even better news: Both sides are saying any proceeds their videos generate are going to be donated to charity.

I am impressed with these kids abilities to produce videos. One of our local station has a contest ever week for the game of the week. The kids submit videos as part of the voting for the game of the week. A lot of them are really good.

Now the real question. Who won?

Grayson 14-7 in a defensive battle. I love reading game stories where the words "controversial call" or "officials" anywhere in the copy.
