1. Best SEC storied episode to date.
2. Props to Ole Miss for locking it down, except for the best of the three, um.......Yay Tenn.
3. Go Rebs!!!!!! Please don't embarrass yourself in Omaha. I mean, you won't get a second chance until 2050 or so......
ETA: Seriously, Archie is the most under appreciated athlete of all time IMO. Dude was an OG.

I didn't like it too much. As far as 30 for 30 goes, the Marcus Dupree story is the best, IMO.

It isn't 30 for 30 is it? I thought it was just SEC storied?
Yes, "The best that never was" was absolutely the best. (Haven't seen Youngstown boys yet FWIW)
ETA: Can't remember what Bo's was called but hearing those stories in a setting like that was impressive. I've seen some incredible athletes in my day but nothing compares to Bo.

You don't know Bo.

The best 30 for 30s were the The Two Escobars (I don't like soccer but it was awesome seeing how Pablo Escobar built his drug empire using soccer ) and Once Brothers (the Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac story). The Manning and Dupree ones were top 5, though.

Archie is actually one of the best athletes of all time IMO. He gets a bad rap because he played for the Saint's when the organization was absolutely terrible.

I COMPLETELY forgot about this one. I grew up playing soccer and it drove home the weight that the sport carries outside of the US. If people really think SEC fans are passionate they need to take a step back and realize what soccer (futbol) means to most of the world.
NB4 soccer is gay.

"You Don't Know Bo" was great. Just a bunch of stories about how unbelievable of an athlete Bo was, and how he pretty much lived his life like it was no big deal.
I do prefer the ones about stuff before my time that I don't know much about. "The Two Escobars" and "The Best that Never Was" were my favorites

Watch "The Book of Manning". Archie was JFF before social media.

He grew up in LA so it wouldn't be that surprising.

He was a great athlete and a better human being. Props to LA for bringing him up the right way.
