This guy is pretty cool. On YouTube, his screen name is LASooner, and he always makes a highlight video from the previous year set to good movie soundtracks. This is kind of where I base a lot of my very general and basic ideas for videos. I think it's so much nicer than having some hip/hop song from some artist I've never heard of (with a stupid sounding made up name), "singing" some song that doesn't really have words... This just makes the videos come off much nicer. Plus, he always adds in the TV play by play to go along with it. I think that's a huge bonus, because, let's face it, play by play calls make the games (or is that just the play by play guy tooting his own horn?)
Anyway, if you have an hour or two to kill, go to LASooner's YouTube page and browse his videos. He has season highlight videos for OU since the 2000 season.

Good videos. I have seen the guys stuff before. I disagree on the hip hop comment though, well to an extent. I like the use of cinematic scores if it fits, but a little goes a long way. The song, no matter what genre just has to fit, musically and lyrically. Not that the song has to mention something specifically about the video but the beat to me is VERY important in editing and being able to edit to the beat to give the video a rhythmic quality. Sometimes when you just use a score like he is doing, to me it gets boring after a few minutes. I like using a min or 2 of something like that and then breaking into a hard hitting song.
This has been my unsolicited editing advice for the day
