so i watched the u on lol regular tv last nite and ehh it had its moments but the promise to deliver a higher standard than yr typical outside the lines typa shit was largely unfulfilled

It was definitely not a well-crafted film, but the subject matter was awesome, and the soundtrack (which was like 90% 2 Live Crew) was great.

yeah it got pretty redundant tho u must admit - an occasional great anecdote surround by endless ol mamai dudes being all WE WERE BAAAAD then vague unedifying season summaries and some fairly delightful footage of end zone celebrations - i found the whole thing quite credulous - it desperately needed dissenting voices
must say uncle luke was the best of the talking heads by far
― ice cr?m, Monday, 14 December 2009 18:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah it was too long. But the farther along it got, the more likely I was to have watched the games in question, so that helped hold my interest.
There was a scene from a SDSU-Miami brawl that I definitely watched live, and that was thrilling.

shouldve interviewed opposing players - shouldve uncovered evidence that the whole university was funded by coke money etc etc
― ice cr?m, Monday, 14 December 2009 18:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, I would have loved soundbites from humiliated coaches and players on other teams. Also, no Testaverde interview? He's finally not busy playing football anymore, so he should've made time for this.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 14 December 2009 18:33 (fourteen years ago) link
also lol @ the complete incoherence of the erikson section - hes a players coach, no they hate and disrespect him, when they go all nuts under johnson its cause he allows it when they do it to erikson its cause hes losing them, its the decline of the program but o yeah they won two titles under him to johnson and schnellenbergers one each - i mean i know hes not as good an interview but try to make some semblance of sense

Cocaqine Cowboys is crazy fun. The first two minutes are some literal WTF-idness bad filmmaking but make it past that and it's pretty sweet

I HATED that Knicks team. Pat Riley schemed to win with what he had, but that was the fuggliest team to watch play. I think it set basketball back ten years.

i'm geeked as hell about that but it's gonna be a letdown obv after the incomparable first entry

Yeah, tbh, the best thing about The U since 1992-ish is the players who have come out of the system and gone on to the NFL.

this one on roto baseball is godawful

this is what i heard
― artie flange (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
the target audience is p. much someone who has no idea what fantasy baseball is & they do insane re-enactments w/ WACKY #s & GRAFIX flying around the screen nonstop
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link
idk maybe that was y espn aired it on 4/20
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link
true -- i don't get why they would do reenactments, like, at all
― artie flange (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I watched the Gretzky one on ESPN UK, thought it was OK. Apparently the one we get next week is a Barry Levinson one about Baltimore. Is that any good?
― treefell, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago) link
i think i missed that one? idk i also missed the AI one
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:32 (fourteen years ago) link
The Baltimore one is FANTASTIC. xp
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 21 April 2010 21:45 (fourteen years ago) link
another pretty great one -- always loved ricky, so glad i still get to root for him
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:07 (fourteen years ago) link
looking fwd 2 watching that one, i loved the AI one btw, had honestly forgotten abt a lot of that history
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:37 (fourteen years ago) link
I dvr'ed the Ricky one. Watching it in the morning.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:55 (fourteen years ago) link
both the ricky one & the AI one benefit greatly from the insertion & analysis of the director
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 April 2010 01:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Ricky one was great; dude comes off like a dick and a vvv bright guy and a man intrigued with himself and his world.
― forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 03:40 (fourteen years ago) link
yea loved the ricky one. it's fairly nuts that those dudes he happens to bro down with while he was living in cali burn down like an oz per poker game
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 29 April 2010 15:04 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah that can't be healthy in any sense of the word
― ibaka flocka flame (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 29 April 2010 15:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Just watched the Ricky Williams one.
I think it's odd that they left out the fact that my high school played his high school in the city championships and we won 13-0, holding him to 46 yards.
I guess there are some truths that are still too painful for him.
