re: The "U" 30 for 30

Back on. Didn't see it at 9 when it first aired, so I'm watching it now. Will probably watch the first half tonight, since it's late, and watch the second half some other time.

LSU just hasn't done the things that Miami has in the past 3 decades.

3 decades is LSU's entire history. But it is Miami's.

It's always good for guys to have spontaneity, and I hate the NCAA's rules on celebration, but at some point, players should act like they've been there already. If you have 100 tackles and 5 interceptions, there' no reason to do a dance after tipping a pass away from the tight end.

The whole thing about U players being involved in the program is a little overdone from guys like Feldman. Duke and UNC basketball players are often heavily involved with the team when they are done with school. Now I am pretty sure Grant Hill and Christian Laettner aren't cursing at Scheyer after a loss , but they definitely have a relationship with the current players, just like Blades, Irvin, etc. I'm sure it's prevalent at most good programs since the players are very proud of their school.

if u people want to watch a good documentary on the whole Miami swagga scene and high school football watch "Year of the Bull" it shows how dudes get paid for big plays during high school games.

It seemed like the filmmaker doesn't watch any college football at all.

hes a street sensationalist. he made cocaine cowboys 1 and 2 and glorifies thuggery and all that. he made it look like since butch tried to clean the program's image that it made it suck because it tried to eliminate the whole swagger attitude.

yeah and the recruitment of Taurean Charles, a top LB prospect who ended up at UF. shows you how big football is in the ghettos of Miami.

Yeah, the NCAA wants to ban emotion because it makes old white men nervous.

celebrating after a TD is fine but u dont think its annoying when they celebrate after making a standard tackle?

Enrique, I am assuming that Billy Corben has an upper-middle class background and probably never stepped foot in Liberty City or similar parts of town until his mid-20s. Is that right?

I think he's a U grad smart enough to capitalize on the whole "street scene" that is really popular in Miami. Little does he realize (or he probably doesn't give a shite cuz hes making $$) that this mentality perpetuates the cycle.
