Big Boy Mason "Yeti" Baker Is Reinventing The Art Of Game Tape By Doing Drills In His Driveway

Listen, adapt or die is what they say. You think Barstool would be where it is if Dave just decided he was just never going to go away from anything but a physical newspaper? Odds lean no. You think Blockbuster regrets sticking to their format? I bet so. Things constantly change, and if you're the last one to realize that the more you pay for your bad decision.

In the fall of 2004 when I was cutting up tapes to send out to colleges in hopes of playing D3 Football, you had to legitimately hand a VHS tape to a coach at one of the college nights in the area, or mail it out. The slowest process on earth. It's 2026 baby! You can email, you can text and more importantly you can create a video on a multitude of social platforms and immediately tag the programs you are interested in. Instant gratification. That coach will likely at least give the video the first 10 seconds to see if he likes it, and that's all you can hope for in the recruiting game just got to get yourself in front of these people, if you have confidence in your ability someone will bite. 

Credit to the big fella "Yeti" for thinking outside the box and the jumping off the screen by standing out. Anyone can show you tape in a game, who can show you tape in their driveway? Nobody, and that's why "Yeti" is a must sign.
