Sorry if the text portion of my post is a little long, but it's important to provide some back-story before we get to the video...

LaFontaine Buick GMC of Ann Arbor is the official car dealership of Eastern Michigan University Athletics. Because of our relationship and some video work we've done with them in the past, they've allowed us to produce & create the EMU Hoop Scoop, a web-series covering the EMU Men's & Women's Basketball teams this season.

We've been given total access to the teams, facilities, players & coaches as well as creative control over the show (as long as it passes through NCAA compliance, we are good to go).

In Episode 1 we get a chance to interview NBA Legend & EMU Alum, George "The Iceman" Gervin, current players Matt Balkema & Glenn Bryant, check-in with Eagle Nation, and have some fun.

I'd love to get your thoughts on this unique partnership. Check it out below ?????
