Videos/Trailers for Tailgates

A few of you might have tried to pull up my videos on your phone and depending on the video, you might have been greeted with:

I get people who will then message me asking if I could make my videos available on mobile. To clear the air, ALL of my videos are set to be viewable on mobile... HOWEVER the issue is when youtube detects the song used in the trailer. You will sometimes see something like this:

So in this case for this video, it's actually the company that owns this song who has made the video not available on mobile.

THE SOLUTION
I want everyone to be able to watch my trailers before games so here is what I have done. Go ahead and load up isittimetobeatbama.com on your phone. I used some very simple CSS media queries (same method Joe uses on this site to support mobile viewing) to have the site act as a media player with links to play some of my and mstawther's top videos:

Using the CSS media queries, the youtube player doesn't pass along the user agent information that causes the mobile restriction. You can even full screen the video on your phone once it starts playing. Ta Da!

Not only do I want this site to be a solution for mobile viewing, I want it to be a go-to place to pull up hype trailers while tailgating, at bars, sitting in the corner at a family reunion planning your escape strategy...anywhere. After the Bama game I will purchase an easy to remember, shorter URL and I will have isittimetobeatbama redirect to it. I will keep it updated throughout the season as I make new stuff. If you have any other must-watch videos you would like me to include, let me know (yes, even if I didn't make it...I am not making ANY money on this and have nothing to gain by only promoting my stuff) and I'll add it.
