The U is just a fan video. It's everything the series isn't: an uncritical fanboy apologia for his favorite team, with no actual story or analysis. I actually judge people who say its their favorite. Either they are big Miami fans or they just have lousy taste in movies.
I don't watch 30 for 30 for a glorified fan video. The best, to me, are ones that take old stories in interesting ways (The Band that Wouldn't Die) or tell me a story I didn't know that well (Against the Wind, The Best That Never Was).
But everything takes a backseat to The Two Escobars. That thing is amazing.

Two Escobars
The one on Reggie Miller vs. the Knicks
The U one was idiotic. It sure had a lot of "swag" doe.

This.
I had high hopes for this one because I thought there'd be some really good behind the scenes stories. But no, it was just a group of guys who haven't moved on telling glory day stories, giving the impression that they never lost a game.

Agreed. I actually do like The U 30f30, but for different reasons than other 30f30s. Like you said, it's basically just a fan video. Also, how can that one be someone's favorite when there's WAAAAY too much Luke in it? Luther Campbell's clips in that doc straight up mock the NCAA in the open.
There are some episodes I haven't seen that I wanted to, but I like most of the ones listed. Picking a favorite is tough, but off the top of my head I think I might choose Once Brothers.
