And it&#8217;s awesome. I can&#8217;t do anything but smile when I watch it. Well, that&#8217;s not true exactly. I also can&#8217;t help but wonder what else they are not showing us. There has to be some unintentional comedy gold on the cutting room floor right? Because I promise you that if someone put a camera in front of me back when I was in college and asked me for 3 words to describe JMU the results would be cringe worthy. I don&#8217;t know exactly what I would have said. It&#8217;s a safe bet that it would have been about booze and women, ironically enough two things that I absolutely could not handle.<\/p>\n<p>Because I am ancient however, technology was not as advanced when I was a student. Yes, there were draw backs. We had to actually walk to the library to look things up instead of Googling them. And we had to register for classes over the phone (land line) by entering ridiculously long codes (only to have the pre-recorded voice inform us the section we wanted was full) instead or signing up for classes online. And we never could have put together such a great video like they did here. It would have taken a team of 14 people 75 hours in the AV lab to create something half as good. So while there might be a 5 by 7 glossy or two featuring yours truly in flannel shirts, baggy jeans, wool socks and Birkenstocks, you&#8217;ll find no incriminating videos of college me on the VAX, a laptop, or smartphone. But that can&#8217;t be the case nowadays. And while we the above video warms our hearts with good memories of our alma matter, we&#8217;d really like to see the awful stuff that didn&#8217;t make the cut. Just doctor it up and make it a Mason video if it&#8217;s truly that bad.<\/p>\n<p><em>H\/T to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/RealFrankBio\">@RealFrankBio<\/a> and others for the video<\/em><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D3482&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The above video was put together by JMU as part of the Come to JMU campaign to recruit students.
