Episode 55: The one where we talk football and startups

This week on PrairieCast our guest is David Graff, CEO and co-founder of Hudl, the Lincoln-based sports technology venture that now provides video software to more than one third of all high school sports teams in the US. Graff is one of our most anticipated guests for the show and we took advantage of his time with us to discuss everything from financing to scalability to standing on the sidelines in the 2011 NCAA National Championship football game.

We had some fun, too, discussing the size of Graff's Hudl t-shirt collection and doing our first "PrairieCast look-alike" with Graff and a certain movie star from 15 years ago. Check it all this week on PrairieCast.

Note: We had some issues with the video recording this week and it looks a bit choppy and low resolution throughout. We're constantly tweaking how we produce PrairieCast and will improve on it for future episodes.
