OU Student Creates Videos for ESPN The Mag

OU Broadcast & Electronic Media graduate student, Alex Shumate is now producing for ESPN, The Mag.com. Shumate auditioned for the spot along with a host of other college students and got his shot at producing weekly videos for ESPN The Mag.com.
Shumate's own sense of humor and distinct video style make each video unique and funny. Looking at Sooner football fans and their traditions makes for interesting web video and some of them are hilarious! My favorite is 'Norman to Seattle', check this link http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3583383 by clicking on the photo in this post. Be prepared though to see a group of Sooner fans who just can't let it go...... Good luck to Shumate and his Sooner Nation faithful.
