While checking out the William & Mary site reading up on their team for LU's game in two weeks, I noticed this on their page. I thought it was a pretty cool idea for the site, one, to give current students/fans a glimpse into some of the history of the program (former players and coaches who have spent time in the pro ranks) and two, to give potential recruits an idea that it is possible to further their football careers by playing for the team.


A step further that might make it better, is to see what notable positions former players/coaches/people affiliated with the team have gone onto whether it is the professional ranks (players, coaches, front office, etc. )or in the collegiate ranks (as coaches, AD's, front office, etc.)

Also, as an aside, is there any chance that LU would house previous games in a streaming online format that one could access...akin to the ESPNClassic deal, something like an LU Football Classic feed...include some online commercials for revenue if need be (could work for BBall too.) It would be cool to catch some of the old school games that some on here have reminisced about from bygone eras or even games from last season...

Plus it would also be interesting to be able to see a season in review, especially if they could go in and remix them and add in some Rocco locker room stuff, player interviews, game day atmosphere...kind of like the Patriots 21 film or other NFL films-style stuff that is available for ones chosen team.


Any thoughts? or just not feasible from a logistics standpoint?

Actually I did something similar a couple of seasons ago in my previews on the old Firehouse. Perhaps I'll be bringing it back.

Not on the site itself, but it's usually in the media guide if you can navigate to it.

Yeah, I was aware that the stuff was in the media guide, but I was thinking along the lines of ease of use for potential recruits and the casual fan who happens upon the site. Plus, it is more easily updated as an element on the site instead of static like the media guide once a year.

Just a thought.
