If you have an account that can email HUGE files...you could do it.
Or you may be able to have them upload it onto Savefile.com and then download it...

When do you need it? UPS/FEDEX/MAIL is always an option. Especially if this is just a film pick up, and not a film swap (meaning not meeting half way). 8 hour round trip....that is a day. What do you plan on doing with the film, and how urgent are you to get it?

a standard game is around 350-450 mb when compressed into a wmv file. that will take quite a bit of time to upload and using a free service --- and most free services don't allow that files of that size to be sent. if you are going to be compressing and sending via email i recommend breaking the game up into quarters to get the files under 100 mb each ... then, use savefile or yousendit to get it to the other coach.
drawback is this ... no guarantee he is doing the same for you. so, once you click send, you need to have faith that guy is holding up his end of the bargain. (with film exchange services, this is something you don't have to worry about).

If you both have a high speed connection, you could use an IM client like Google Talk or AIM to exchange files. Or peer-2-peer via bit torrent or other P2P programs.

could use some type of messenger application. regardless, if it isn't compressed then it likely to take - at minimum - real time to download ... likely to be longer.
plus, if it is compressed (or maybe even if it isn't) the time it will take to "uncompress" .. i.e. convert back to avi form then mark it up may be the same or longer than if you drove 2 hours to get it and drive back.
