Post game wrapup

 I live in the Deep South, where college football is virtually a religion. From Labor Day to New Years Day, family events like weddings and reunions must be planned with caution, so as not to conflict with the Saturday priority of college football.  While I would otherwise not be a big fan of football, I do follow college games, if only to be conversant with friends and family this time of year.  But one of my legitimately favorite parts of the year has become the collection of humorous wrap-up videos that follow the weekend games.  There are three primary ones that I make a point to always view: Funny Maine, SEC Shorts, and Matt Mitchell's SEC Roll Call.  All of these video offerings had humble beginnings several years ago- think bored community theater actors and an iPhone. But they all have rapidly grown in sophistication and production values, to the point where they are now reasonably professional, and they all have linked merchandise and/or commercial sponsors.  Funny Maine is a solo act and rabid Crimson Tide fan who started as a simple reaction video, shot as if he was responding to game tv coverage in real time.  He has now grown his concept with costumes, themes and special effects.  SEC Shorts grew out of a Birmingham community theater - like group and now is sponsored and even has a traveling live stage show.  Matt Mitchell was once a member of another local video comedy group but has spun off to a solo act.  During college football season, he is a one-man show depicting a conference call of SEC teams after the weekend's contests.  Easily the most comedy-dense of the weekly videos, it requires a broad familiarity of all the league games to appreciate the rapid one-liners Mitchell reels off in his intensely edited videos.  So whether my preferred team wins or loses, the post game wrap up videos always bring a smile to my face.
