As many here know, our own alum Ashton Campbell put together an awesome television documentary series called Beyond the Green. This show chronicled the 2013 and 2014 seasons of Mean Green Football. It was an award winning series and was extremely popular with our fans and alumni base as it aired on Fox Sports Southwest.

I have been in contact with Ashton and I know that he is working independently on putting together a really cool box set DVD of the entire series including some behind the scene footage and other items never seen before as well as some other extras.

I would like to gauge interest in the this DVD and would appreciate your feedback. I know that there were a lot of inquiries about this in the past. Ashton is still finalizing the details of the DVD but I would like to get an idea of the interest in this project and any feedback on who would buy it. I know that since Ashton is doing this independently, there is some about concern how interested the fanbase would be in something like this.

Thanks for your time and Go Mean Green!

I would buy a set in a heartbeat. I would pre-order and I am betting so would many other fans. There are all sorts of kickstarter type sites out there if he is interested in that funding method.

Said the same last year as this year, make it Bluray and I'll buy. I'm not gonna pay for 480p when 720p is available on YouTube.

Does your player not up-convert? You got ripped off if it doesn't.

I would be down for either format.

Honestly, because the videos are available online, I would only purchase in order to support the program and Ashton for the effort.

I say this to simply provide voice to those who may not post on the board but may similarly find that the online option is sufficient and choose not to purchase.

I'm in - as long as it won't be 100 bucks.

I think I remember him saying on the podcast that it would have two discs - both Blu-ray and DVD. Hopefully that's true.

I'm glad there is a lot of interest in the DVD. Like Harry said, everything is still getting finalized and I'll keep everyone posted on the status.

Here are a few things that I can address:

At some point this offseason the episodes will be coming down from YouTube. So there will not be an online version of seasons 1 and 2.

Most likely, and I emphasize most likely, it will be released as a DVD and not Blu-Ray. There are multiple reasons for this but the main one is that, Blu-Ray players will play DVDs (with 1080p upconversion via HDMI in most cases), while Blu-Ray discs cannot be played in DVD players. I would rather make the set available to everyone and not only those who own a Blu-Ray player. Yes, the series is mastered in 720p (1080 for the CSN broadcast) and I would love to see it in truest form, but it just doesn't seem fair to exclude anyone.

It will be under 100 bucks, I can promise that ($99.99 at the most....)

There will be unreleased footage as part of the extras. There was a large amount of sideline and locker room moments that were left on the cutting room floor, just saying.

I'll continue to update the status as I get everything finalized. I would like to thank everyone for their continued support of this series. That means a lot.

I don't think there's any other way to put this except blunty: Are they coming down because of licensing issues or because you're trying to sell DVDs?

There are some potential licensing issues, but that is still being worked out.

It could also depend on if the series gets renewed or not. As of right now, nothing is set. The episodes from season 1 were originally going to come down when season 2 began. Obviously they remained there and that could be the case moving forward.
