re: Do these "The U" documentaries even mention the Bama beat down?

Also Pokemon, what if Penn st lost their bowl game? When you were #3 playing #1 in the bowl game you were playing for a national title back then.

Except that wasnt known when Miami and Nebraska played, except we have no clue how they rank #3 Miami after beating #1 Nebraska, except this argument has no bearing on my original argument anyway, except I am arguing with a grown man pokemon fan

So you agree that it wasn't a title game for Miami.

The first one was horrendous. A cartoon. Easily the bottom 2-3 of the 30 for 30.

The only issue, or humor, I found was on the first one when they show Lamar Thomas talking about how much better they were than everyone else, then show a picture of the 1990 Sugar Bowl and a distraught looking Alabama player. Then Thomas gloats about how good they were.

Hilarious. Lamar Thomas.

The real question is, why continue making these documentaries when Nebraska had a better dynasty in the same time frame that wasn't exclusively the result of cheating?



Don't kid yourself. The Husker program was every bit as dirty as the U, and probably worse. The historical whitewash on Dr Tom - one of the biggest hypocrites in college football history - is mind boggling.

" Watching a documentary about sexual assaults, rapes, academic fraud and malfeasance, partial qualifiers, and a horrible conference in Nebraska beating up on people would show everyone what apologists the college football media was."

They also don't mention the Sugar Vols 35-7 beatdown in 1985 which prevented them from winning another national title.


If anyone has a gripe for having not been included in the first one is UT. That was in the middle of their 80s run and they skipped right over it. Nobody gave Tennessee a shot in that Sugar Bowl and we stomped that arse with 35 unanswered points. Miami talked so much shite leading up to the game.

I did like that they showed us ending their home streak in 03 in the U part 2.

#2 Penn State finished undefeated after handily winning the Rose. So no, #3 Miami wouldn't have jumped them.



They jumped Auburn in 1984 after beating Nebraska from #5 to #1. Of course, that team was romantic. CHS had integrated the ghetto kids of Miami into the private school in an effort to improve the overall community. It was only years later that everyone realized it was a cesspool of drugs, money, federal fraud and blatant disregard for the rules beyond the normal cheating that goes on at all schools. Who'd of thunk a school like Miami could go from irrelevant to national champions so quickly? Did they cheat, hmmm...

I thought the same thing when I read the first post. He some how convinced gang bangers to leave Florida and SoCal to come to Lincoln but he wasn't cheating.

The difference was that Auburn and Miami both had a loss. In 94, Penn State was undefeated while Miami had a loss.

It is actually funny. I can envision the OP watching this documentary just to see the part where Bama beats Miami in the Sugar Bowl. Just waiting for that moment of Bama glory to be shown. And then....nothing. The anger and outrage over the Bama slight in a Miami documentary causes him to whine and vent his hurt feelings on the SECRant.

Bama is the hero CFB needs, but not the one it deserves.

No matter, the Tide will do the unthinkable and become America's team when they obliterate Jimbo and his band of thugs in Dallas.

Also 100% correct. No ifs ands or buts about it.

Have a nice day, now.

Believe it or not, documentaries about dynasties tend to focus on the dynasties themselves, not their end unless there's something particularly notable about them (sanctions, etc.)

Miami losing to Alabama at the end of their run isn't particularly notable to anyone but Bama fans 20 years later. Someone was eventually going to beat them.

Totally agree (and not because I grew up cheering for my hometown Hurricanes).
