It was a little early to do a 30/30 on that program that is so recent.
USC had some good teams but it would have been nice to see some matchups with some teams they never got to play like that 03 LSU team or the 04 Auburn team.
A playoff would have been nice those years for sure.

All I could think about the whole time.

i was surprised there was a 21 year heisman drought out west. college football was freaking dead out west in 2000. oregon was in its infancy as a flashy, run and gun team. washington was crap. stanford was a mess. cal was good under tedford, but its cal, and tedford didnt exactly accumulate hardware. karl dorrel......
basically, the mid/early 2000 SC teams started momentum for college football out west, and college football is alot better for it.

i liked it for what it was. an hour and a half highlight reel. Wasn't overly informative or ground breaking, but i enjoyed it. those teams were awesome

UW was good in 2000. 11-1 and Rose Bowl champions. They beat Miami and lost by 7 in Eugene. They fell apart after that season, though.

Thought they could have gone a bit more in depth about the 2003 controversy. To not even mention it seems a little strange to me.
Pretty weak for a 30 for 30, as I have grown to expect excellence from their documentaries. Both U documentaries and the Pony Express blow this out of the water.

Leinart, Bush, White and Jarret were completely overhyped!! Their lack of NFL success backs that up imo
what does NFL success have to do with a players college career? I mean by that logic, guys like Tebow, Russell, Wuerfel, Ward, etc were all overhyped players as well, right? IMO, this is arguably one of the dumbest arguments in sports these days.

Glad I didn't watch it then.
The playoff would have been great every year of the BCS era starting in 1998 when you had undefeated Tennessee and 6 1 loss power 5 teams.
You can basically pick a year and it would have been awesome. There were years it didn't make sense like 2002 and 2005 but you still never know. OSU 2005 took Texas to the limit and were still not sticking with Troy Smith at QB since he had the booster crap the year before, and 2005 OSU lost 2 games

Wasn't that bad. Plus the story of Pete Carroll Trojans is pretty well documented already. You can't really compare this to the Miami documentaries because so much about them was kept quiet (Do to the lack of social media).

I guess, but even then, you'd think they'd discuss the 2006 squad that was as talented as ever on defense, IIRC.
Just disappointed that is easy packaged under the 30 for 30 name but came off like a fluff piece, especially considering the piece had plenty of potential considering the subject matter.
Perhaps it was too recent, but you can't cover those teams without any contributions from Carroll or Bush.

It wasn't bad, but could've been better.
I like watching these to get information that you didn't have before and we didn't get any of that.

I don't blame Bush for declining to be apart of this doc.
The '06 squad had tons of talent. But absolutely no star quality.

It was a glorified highlight reel with zero substance. I couldn't even tell what the director wanted his own movie to be. My favorite aspect of it was LenDale White. He didn't hold back.
Was there any video of the defense destroying fools??? I love me some Reggie Bush, but I've seen his highlights a thousand times. That's all it was.

The Pac10 was garbage back then, they forgot to mention that too

I missed the first 15 minutes, so I might be off on some things.
Everyone knows how the program was surrounded by Hollywood personalities and whatnot. I wanted to see practices where the sideline looked like an Oscar red carpet. All the showed was Snoop walking around with Pete and then Snoop being a complete idiot. I like me some Snoop, but I'm tired of hearing him say "frick yeah cuh, go USC yo!"

No you won one, LSU won in 03. You can try and claim it as a split but LSU won the NCG
