re: Ole war skule doc amazing! Please post reviews here. What do you think?

I have watched it twice. It is the most complete and well done history of LSU football ever done. Going to watch it during the Christmas holidays with a side of the family that are Longhorn fans. They are excited about it too after hearing my Dad and I talking about it. I think if you are a college football fan you will enjoy. LSU has a rich and very unique history and it keeps getting better.

Glad you liked it. I donated some video footage that was used throughout the film. They did a fine job putting it together.


FYI to all: if you pay close attention to the Saban interviews, you will notice that he is framed (filmed) differently than any other person in the movie. The reason being is that he refused to remove his scripted "A" sweater he was wearing. In the early edit views, all you could see was a big head sitting on his tiny shoulders.

From what I've seen of it...Including the Nick Saban reference...It was pretty cool!

Question from a younger fan. They were pretty good about posting names of the people they interviewed but who was the one talking about riding back from the Bayou Classic with his grandparents and seeing Tiger Stadium lit up as a small boy? I didnt see his name posted.

I'm glad some of y'all manned up and admitted to tearing up because I definitely did. I just couldn't help but think of the memories. I practically grew up inside of Tiger Stadium with my father not only working and retiring from LSU but he took me to home games since before memory.

No offense to the Bama fans, but fwiw - Saban talking about LSU just didn't do it for me. He sounded like an outsider reading a script and it was very generic.

How is this pronounced?

Ordered mine today. Cannot wait to see it!

let me start by saying that they have the worst customer service of any company that I have ever dealt with....bar none....I pre-ordered in the spring of the year at the tiger tour with the published shipping date just before the season started....they charged my credit card immediately, yet after numerous unanswered calls and e-mails, I finally got the video with about 3 games left to the season...Grade "F"

AS far as the content goes, it really was not what I expected based on the advertising and trailers, which all led me to believe that it was an in depth doccumentary on the gameday experience from a player's perspective plus a lesson on how the NC trophy and the championship rings are made....it actually did a good job on the player's perspective, but fell short on the trophy and ring manufacturing....basically just showed that these folks had visited the factories...it did include far more history of the school and the football program than I expected with a major emphasis on coaches charlie mac, saban, and miles....Grade "B+"

technically, I thought the movie was well done...good narration...good music....well put together action scenes, etc....one minor negative was that the audio and the video seemed to get out of sync by about a half second at certain points making it seem like a dubbed kung fu movie....Grade "B"

I have to agree that no true tiger fan could watch this without getting choked up a few times during the film...it is suprising the emotion that it brings out if you love LSU football the way I do....

Overall Grade "B"...I think every true tiger fan should have this one...but there is no way in hell I would recommend ordering by mail...gotta find someone selling it over the counter and buy it that way...
