This came across my Facebook. What do y'all think. Personally I like the previous narrator. Saturday Night in Death Valley

Yeah, I don't know why he's saying it like that. Sounds weird. The pregame production is such a cluster frick these days we won't hear it anyway.

Holy shite

DV is going to be fricking crazy this year. That video is much better than the first imo.

Original was the best hype video of all time. This is just mediocre

Didn't realize it was the same guy It definitely doesn't sound right though. The actual video is great though.

This video is well done, but it's missing the oomph of the first one. It's great that Dan Borne contributed something that will likely be around for a very long time.

Also, on the first video:
quote:

Fans who have become familiar with Borne’s voice over the past quarter-century would never know the words in the video are his.

That’s because the voice isn’t his. For that job, LSU contracted with Hollywood voice over artist Tom Kane, whose work includes the Academy Awards and the voice of Yoda in a string of Star Wars TV shows and video games.

I prefer having Borne read his own poem thing. It makes it more personal. I think the music is more eery too.

Did not know that. I guess we see why now.

C'mon. Dan is perfect. He's the voice of Tiger Stadium.

Yall are just scared of change. The production of this video is so much more powerful than the first one. This one is slower and more epic. Less of a hype video and more of an atmosphere setter.

Significantly worse than the original.

Borne sounds like he's reading off a card.

Borne is perfect most of the time. Just not in this. It sounds like he's reading a terrorist request note with a gun to his head.

Production of video is great. Dan sounds like he just woke up and isn't as enthused as he was in other one though.

Deacon Dan is great.

For pieces like this, I would crowd fund towards hiring Liev Schreiber speaking about our program.

It makes sense to have Borne do it. Its his poem and he's the voice of Tiger Stadium/Saturday Night in Death Valley. But I think I'm partial to the original.
