Hypnotoad Video

The Man Behind The Curtain
It was pretty good. For those that weren't at the game, or left at halftime, what follows is a rather geeky summary of the video...

The video opens with the final scene from JJ Abrams' Star Trek where Spock is piloting his future self's time machine ship thing at ramming speed towards the Romulan mining ship from the future (man that was a terrible storyline). Anyway, the Romulan is wearing a Tech hat and Spock's ship warns him that if his ship is destroyed by the Romulans he might not be able to deploy Hypnotoad. Just as it looks like Spock will be blown up, the Enterprise, piloted by Kermit and Superfrog, warp in to destroy the Romulan missiles and clear a path for Spock who is beamed out at the last second as the ship rams full speed into the enemy vessel. The explosion is accompanied by several other movie clips of bad guys yelling out in pain and ends with the explosion unleashing Hypnotoad.

It was a lot better than I'm explaining, and was timed perfectly given the way the momentum was moving at that moment in the game. Crowd goes nuts, laughs at Captain Kermit, cheers when Hypnotoad kills the bad guys and the place is suddenly electric. Pretty good moment.

Also, the Lloyd Bridges Airplane clip was in it.

They should be on YT, IMHO.

Today's was a classic. I sat there - sitting directly in front of a Tech fan - laughing uproariously, exclaiming how stupid it was, while at the same time exclaiming how hilarious it was. It was a scream, and made me proud to be a TCU alumnus.

Was I supposed to type something here?
The Hypnotoad cannot be forced. The play on the field must first rise to the level of skill/luck/tomfoolery that evokes the Hypnotoad. There has been little of that seen thus far at home this year.
Yes. This is our strategy with tequila shots: Big 3rd down conversions require a shot pre-snap. Take on for the team!

Sadly, as you say, there have been few opportunities to sacrifice our dwindling number of liver cells in a worthy cause...
