Which ones are y'all interested in watching... 
October 7th: Playing for the Mob. This film is directed by Joe Lavine and Cayman Grant, and focuses on the fixed Boston College basketball games in the late-1970s. It will tell the story of Henry Hill (yes, the Henry Hill from Goodfellas) and reveal details of the point-shaving scandal for the first time ever. Interviews with Hill, the players, and investigators involved will be included. ESPN has already released a clip, which you can view on their website.
October 14th: The Day The Series Stopped. Ryan Fleck directs this film about the Bay Area earthquake that took place just before Game 3 of the 1989 World Series between the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants. Fleck will feature archival footage along with untold stories from players, officials, and citizens, and will also look at the science behind what happened during the earthquake.
October 21st: When The Garden Was Eden. Michael Rapaport is the director of this 30 For 30, which remembers the golden days of the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in the 1970s, and is based on the book by the same name by Harvey Araton.
October 28th: Brian and The Boz. Thaddeus D. Matula directs this one, which will explore Brian Bosworth’s success at the college level under Barry Switzer, and his epic flame out in the NFL.
November 4th: Brothers in Exile. MLB Productions is the producer of this film, and Mario Diaz is the director. It will look at the lives of Livan and Orlando Hernandez, the Cuban defector brothers who made it to America and succeeded in the MLB ranks against all odds.
November 11th: Rand University. Marquis Daisy will dive into the life of Randy Moss, exploring where he came from (Rand, West Virginia) and what he overcame to become an NFL superstar.
December 13th: The U Part 2. Billy Corben is back with a sequel to The U, and will continue the story he started, following Miami football through the 1990s and the Butch Davis era. This is the documentary that will air in the coveted post-Heisman slot, so make sure to set your DVR for an extra hour.

I really want to see that one. Can remember watching all that happen live. Crazy. Damn I loved baseball in the 80's.

The first 30 for 30 was Kings Ransom: The 1988 trade of Wayne Gretzky from the Edmonton Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings and the effect it had on Gretzky, the fans in Edmonton, and the popularity of hockey in Southern California.

Damn. Every one of those sounds badass IMHO.

My parents were at the World Series when the earthquake hit.

Yea they did. It was on the guy who basically lied about his net worth by buying the Islanders with money from loans and defaulting.

That one was awesome.

Those all look good. I'm kind of meh on a Part 2 of the U, but only because there's so much more that could probably be covered in a 30 for 30 in college football.

Goodfellas is one of my favorite movies. I hope this is good.
Also, I think either the Boz or Randy Moss episode should air after the Heisman ceremony cause if we're being honest all the documentaries in the world won't make anyone care about The U right now.

I'd like to see a well-done doc on the early 2000's Canes. Those teams took "stacked" to another level.

Mob, earthquake, and Boz are of most interest to me, but I will watch them all.
They are usually well done. I don't care about hockey at all, but that Islanders scam episode was interesting as heck.

I wouldn't mind something on 90s Nebraska either.
FWIW, I'm not saying it won't be good. It will. I would just like to see them do some more off the beaten path type stories instead since we've already seen one on the U recently.

Can't really disagree here.

The first two (mob and earthquake) sound really cool, and I may check out a couple of the others also. They do a good job w/ that series.
