30 for 30: The U (2009)

I was highly anticipating the fact that I wanted to watch this being a huge fan of college football. Not to mention, this was directed by Billy Corben (Cocaine Cowboys) who I believe is the new breed of documentary style movie directors. This movie was truly amazing from the interviews with acclaimed coaches like Jimmy Johnson, Howard Schnellenberger, and Dennis Erickson, to players like Michael Irvin, Bennie Blades, Bernie Kosar, and Alonzo Highsmith. It has interviews with current NFL stars like Jeremy Shockey and Jonathon Vilma and it even features Luther Campbell of The 2 Live Crew because he had something to do with putting the Miami Hurricanes on the map by coining the term "The U". This doc shows you the rise of a mediocre football team to the most successful and highly controversial university on the map. Catch it on ESPN or maybe just maybe, they'll release it on DVD.
