I know its been discussed ad nauseum, but so has 99.99% of every other topic around here lately, so here is my .02.
First, ya'll are a bunch of psycho rednecks up there in Alybammi. Just kidding, we all love our football just maybe not to that level.
Seriously though, I was pretty disgusted to see Harvey Updyke get all that pub for being a giant POS. They could have told the story about him, and interviewed those close to him, and still paint the picture of how pathetic he is without giving him any air time.
Another thing that I noticed was they didn't even mention Tommy Tubberville. I mean the guy won what, 6 straight against the Tide in the modern era, and he didn't even get recognized? Kind of lame.
Overall, the wife and I were entertained, and it was good to see everyone come together after the tornado tragedy. Maybe this year AU can make it interesting again.

99% of the IB history wasn't recognized by that show. I thought it was pretty lacking.

RT/WE is the only thing i have ever seen that brought both fanbases to the same side of anything so quickly.
It is one of the most poorly though up, researched, and executed sports doc ever.

It didn't even feel like they were talking about us, to be honest.
They really did breeze over any real information on the competitive back and forth of it and focused on filth. Some for both sides that was fairly unsubstantiated.
In short, it was very lacking on real perspective.

Yeah, they really should have just called it the Toomers Tree Poisoning/T-Town Tornado/Finebaum.
I wish they would have done something like the HBO documentry on Ohio State/Michigan

It was horrible. It took the worst time for the rivalry (outside of football) and made it seem like it's always been like that. It hasn't.

It sucked.
Watch "Nick Saban, Gamechanger." Much better.

"The Play That Changed College Football," the documentary ESPN did right after Roll Tide/War Eagele about the creation of the SEC Championship Game and Langham's pick 6, was a million times better than RT/WE.
