WarEagle84 0 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Apparently, ESPN has produced 14 school-specific promos for the SEC Network. Here is Auburn's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=helgcMOz9-w I like it, but I think I would have preferred "White Christmas" for the soundtrack. Somehow, a song from "Oklahoma!" seems wrong, even if the sentiments are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptau 169 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Why couldn't they just use the school fight songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionheartkc 6,150 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The quality of the filming is a bit lacking, but I really like the concept. It shows a quiet confidence. While the other schools have a bunch of chanting and the like, ours is a glorious celebration of victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoic-one 1,538 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Why couldn't they just use the school fight songs? That would've worked. If they could get permission, which I seriously doubt they're willing to hassle with, or even can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could get permission, which I seriously doubt they're willing to hassle with, or even can. I'm assuming the university owns the rights to the song. Why would we not give permission to use it? They had to get permission to use the song they chose. The process wouldn't be much different for a different song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,801 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Maybe the fee to use certain songs were above what ESPN was willing to pay for the project. Who knows, I mean they did have to do one for every school, even though ESPN has money falling out of their ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the rights to the song belong to its composer's family, who lets Auburn use it, but doesn't let Auburn have free reign over who uses it..which is why you don't hear Auburn's fight song in video games.

I could be wrong, and I'm damn sure too lazy to look it up, but this has been discussed before. I do not believe AU owns the rights to the song. EDIT: Red beat me to it...

It's owned by the estate of Robert Allen, who wrote it, and anyone who uses it has to buy permission from them. Some music is easy to get permission to use, others, not so much. The owner can demand whatever terms they want to demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Own it or not...a song from Oklahoma.....is that the best we could come up with? But they probably had to make a video that did not offend any other SEC team, otherwise they could have shown the scoreboard the morning after the Iron Bowl with fog rising up past that 34-28 final score in an empty stadium...and played "Oh what a beautiful morning"....I would have loved that..

mah0020 11 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I guess I'm the only one who likes it. I think it's a beautiful view of a tradition that is uniquely Auburn. People hear about the rolling tradition and I think this video displays it quite nicely. I think the song perfectly ties in the spirit of rolling the trees and walking around downtown Auburn on a Sunday morning after a big win. It is a beautiful morning when happens. What would all have liked to have seen? I like ours much more than the other videos with people just chanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ours was the best. Based on some articles, it's also getting the most overall buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
