Florida vs Wisconsin Part 2 | Brodie Smith Commentary

[WesHammack]

Great break down, and thank you for the game footage. It's great to watch skilled Ultimate players work that well together.

I would like to see break downs of stacks during gameplay. Its the hardest thing to teach my team is the flow of cutting as well as the importance of not clogging the passing lanes.

Possibly more videos of plays after restarts such as the "Zipper" video posted last week 2/7/12.

Keep up the great work, Brodie.

[hidefman17]

Its abbreviated WIS or WISC. still love you Brodie

[Fromiesterx]

Do more please

[TheEMINEMoffical]

so the point of this video is that you did practically nothing?

[tromboneboy1234]

More like this vid please!



[cychuahful]

hey brodie how long is the entire playing zone???

[TheJasonwood82]

This is a great idea, I like the commentary. Like you mentioned, (and others) the camera could be better, but it's not so bad.

[cflow100]

Yeah, video was great! Keep em comin.

[APUltimate]

Awesome video brodie. Do you know of anywhere online that I can watch the 2009 national championship game? I already found the 2008 & 2010

[brodiesmith21]

@APUltimate hmm im not sure sorry

[Lordness4]

@APUltimate where have you found the 08 and 10?

[APUltimate]

@Lordness4 @Lordness4 discvideos(dot)com/carleton-vs­-florida-2010-college-open-nat­ionals/ and the 2008 one was herd to find and it gives crappy video, but you have to go to the right off the page and scroll through the videos until you get to it cstv(dot)com/sports/c-ultimate­/cs-c-ultimate-body.html there ya go

[bslade86]

I like the idea, but it's tough to layer commentary on a reunion game because of your history with the teams and involvement in the game- you aren't free to criticize poor mechanics/effort/execution without sounding like a homer or calling out a buddy. Maybe give it another shot with a different game?

[brodiesmith21]

@bslade86 def the hardest part is getting the footage...if you know of a way around this let me know

[bslade86]

@brodiesmith21 True. As the college season begins, teams may be willing to trade footage for analysis/critique.

[jazzalbee]

I am amazed at how conscious you are of all that goes on in the game of ultimate. Both what's going on personally with your own mechanics etc., and the game as a whole. Great work. Wait till you actually have some years of high level ultimate under your belt, you'll be scary.

[jazzalbee]

Also, break down some of the things happening in the game espn style. What I mean is for example, watching Kurt mark and breaking down what he does that makes him so effective for example. Or looking at what offensive strategy a team is using. That's my cool feedback but way more warm feedback then cool.

[jazzalbee]

I'm really enjoying all your videos immensely. I am sending them to my summer league team. I would like full game commentaries but my suggestion is to pick games that are really well-played, and , if possible, well filmed.

[TheRealBenjyRomig]

This is a really cool idea - unfortunately, low camera angles sort of suck for watching ultimate. Would you be willing to comment on some of the Nationals game where you can see the field a bit better? This would really help to give a better perspective on what is happening on the entire field and not just the line between the camera and the thrower.

Keep up the good work.

[saemj]

Terrible game, why not comment on a good one ?

[aVEGANpacifist4]

definitely break it down strategy wise, other than that i think its about time we started to get some commentary on some good games

[xXcRENzXx]

do this for the florida vs. carleton championship game!

[Paintasaurus]

please more like this.

this is awesome!

[TheDoobikinator]

Would certainly be interested in a more advanced breakdown of game film. Still, this commentary is still pretty sweet.

[carrjm]

@brodiesmith21 It would be great to have the replays and break downs without having to interrupt the flow of the vid. Maybe popping up links on the vid to a more detailed analysis of a particular play etc. It would be a shame to lose the flow of the game.

PS. Having what the fouls were is awesome. It is often hard to tell what exactly has been called on youtube vids.

[carrjm]

Awesome @ 2:33 =p

[Goronkor]

Do you ever sub? :)

[mincraftowns]

How Long is 1 game ? @brodiesmith21

[brodiesmith21]

@mincraftowns Games are played to 13 or 15...they usually take 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to play.

[mincraftowns]

How Long is 1 game ?

[RachelCM90]

hahah. "a low backhand...that is a TERRIBLE throw..." I love your commentary. This is great.

[steelerfan786]

this stuff is awesome. there are obviously things to improve on, but this is a great start and i'm sure it will get better! keep it up man

[Gatorx27]

Nice work Brodie. I like that you keep it humble, ie- say things like "I missed that throw" rather than blame a teammate for misreading the disc. Keep it up.

[paragonl33t]

i LOVE these commentaries. more! :)

[BravoBergy]

Drew Mahowald! my coach this year, and he dropped it!!

[NoTimeToBlink]

Good game man. I want more! Thanks for checking out that video by the way man. Appreciate it haha. 

[inthenet4]

What's a double helix?

[brodiesmith21]

@inthenet4 its when the disc goes from outside out to inside out

[brodiesmith21]

@MrLeiferich14 in the middle of the point?

[steelerfan786]

explanations of WHY things are happening would be great. maybe try pausing right b4 a big throw to explain why it's going up. explain what offense and defense is being played and why. that'd be AMAZING!

[kg1292]

if you could get multiple cameras shooting so you have multiple angles. it would a challenge to edit but a great production for explaining strategies. This helped a lot. To see more experienced people play some disc thanks. keep it up.

[brodiesmith21]

@kg1292 Yea we are def hoping that we will eventually get the funding to be able to have our own crew at tournaments...right now we are accepting any footage that we receive.

[Reaper0fs0uls]

Yeah, definitely some analysis of what each team is trying to do would be great. A good first effort, great to see some good ultimate players, even if you guys weren't playing the crispest game. Zerg ftw

[brodiesmith21]

@Reaper0fs0uls zerg huh?

[climbr7]

do more like this! also, you should do a tutorial on pulls. Show us how to throw a double-helix etc.

[IceSundeCream7]

More Starcraft 2 commentary

[brodiesmith21]

@IceSundeCream7 i think i will leave that to HD and Husky

[98989898787878]

You are amazing! thanks, i love the video, but i would love to see you break down the games, and go with more strategic commentary! like why someone is somewhere and what the players are doing. Thanks so much, we love you <3

[SamWhite006]

Awesome. More full games please.

[MrTCRad]

Love it, do more

[oOPPOSITIONo]

how big was the field you were playing on it looked kinda small to me

[brodiesmith21]

@oOPPOSITIONo Vegas fields are always tiny. I would say it was about 35 yards wide and maybe 65 yards endzone to endzone with the endzones only being about 20 yards

[Lerkki]

Overview shots and pauses on positioning and opening tactics, esp. on D.

[brodiesmith21]

@Lerkki like in a helicopter?

[utubeuser845]

@brodiesmith21 CHYEAH HELICOPTERS!

[bighiggy007]

@brodiesmith21 where can i find the discs that u guys use. cuz the ones at the sporting goods stores say that they're the "official ultimate" disk, but i dont buy it. So what disks do u use and where can i find em?

[brodiesmith21]

@bighiggy007 discraft.com

[cwcoleman]

Replays of some sections would be helpful when explaining strategy. Keep up the good work - we like full game videos.

[michaelalfano54]

Keep it up Brodes! Now do the commentary for that game against the mixed team :-)

[ref498]

these are awesome

[cklownie]

when that nexgen tour takes off, it'd be great to see them post full-game footage w/ commentary too

[cwcoleman]

@cklownie I'll be at the Seattle game vs Sockeye. I hope someone is there to video.

[brodiesmith21]

@cwcoleman if someone gets video of that we would love to put it on here.

[NJVilla1]

Definitely would love to see more videos like this. It would be awesome if you guys could include more strategy breakdown and maybe more camera angles just to be able to get a better feel for what's happening on the field.

[mrtretre100]

brodie really any frisbee that someone can get their hands on should be caught. Dont take the blame for that hammer touchdown pass that was dropped by your teamate

[brodiesmith21]

@mrtretre100 haha well i could have made it an easier catch

[steelerfan786]

@mrtretre100 any missed disc is always the throwers fault. even if the receiver "drops" it, the throw should have been, maybe not a "better" throw, but maybe a "different" throw

[mrtretre100]

@steelerfan786 im the one who goes deep on my team and the only bad throw is one that i cant touch. If i touch the frisbee and dont come down with it, its my fault, not the throwers

[Fashkill]

@steelerfan786 @mrtretre100 There is a middle ground in my eyes. Most of the time, if I can touch it, it should be caught. But there are times when I can touch something but not necessarily grab it, like if the throw is closer to the defender and he holds position well. Sometimes you just can't catch it, but I still usually blame myself for anything missed because as captain I would rather take the blame than have my players upset at themselves.

[steelerfan786]

@Fashkill i agree with you on the grounds that if a receiver can touch the disc, than it should be caught. but it's always the thrower's fault. maybe the receiver needed more than to touch it to catch it? all i'm saying is that handlers need to know their cutter. even if it looks like the PERFECT throw, if it's dropped, then it wasn't perfect. whatever the reason, the handler needs to know who is cutting, where and who the defender is, what to throw and where to put it, and to throw or not

[ames5mike]

It would be great to see some club regular season games! I'd like to see the breakdown and maybe even some statistics.

[texastobaben]

Are these the guys who did that "bro-rape" video? Lol

[TheSamco44]

Cool vid. I'd definitely want to see more

[sunnybunny50]

more ulti games + commentary :)

[sonictr00th]

Great stuff, and I think you have the right idea with focusing more on strategy. You put out some pretty sick highlight videos in 2010 with Florida, but if you have any of the full game footage from that season it would be pretty cool to look at that. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.

[brodiesmith21]

@sonictr00th unfortunately all that film doesn't exist any longer

[sonictr00th]

@brodiesmith21 Bummer. 2009 season?

[brodiesmith21]

@sonictr00th nope everything is gone...we have a 1.5 terabyte drive now so hopefully we can hold on to a lot more footage

[FuriousCheddar]

This is awesome. With the suggested improvements, this can be big.

[brodiesmith21]

@FuriousCheddar thanks..hopefully we can get the funding soon enough to make this big!

[rrudnic1]

I think breaking it down more and talking more about the strategy would be good, also if at some point you can get video from an angle that shows the field better so you can talk about the spacing and flow.

[brodiesmith21]

@rrudnic1 Yea we hope to have enough funds at some point to have our own film crew and really increase the whole production of everything

[thesparkiscool]

show the reps with the breakdowns plzz :)

[brodiesmith21]

@thesparkiscool what do you mean by reps?

[thesparkiscool]

@brodiesmith21 replays



[funkybowser]

Analysis and explanation of all the offensive and defensive strategy would be excellent, bring a higher level of understanding to watching the replays, etc.

[aladinfupaladin]

@funkybowser

i really like this idea! like your commentary but some analysize would make it even better

[brodiesmith21]

@aladinfupaladin what do you mean? can u give us an example?

[artfulx]

great vids! i liked the commentary idea, and replays of some key moments would totally make it better!

[tdkrisw]

@artfulx great idea. get some madden-esque replays with drawing on the screen to outline exactly what they did.

[brodiesmith21]

@tdkrisw This one we were going for just a full-game commentary without any stoppages of play. I def want to do some though where we break down replays like you talk about.

[emailzforlife]

can we have a "scuba" (i think thats how it spelt) tutorial please?

thanks and great video, i like this idea
