See I sorta disagree, because the school has "final cut"... so I think it actually gives schools that are football factories a chance to fraudulently present a good image to the public.

Would Florida State do it? Probably not. And Saban would never allow it. But I could totally see a Texas A&M or Oregon doing it. I could also totally see a school like Texas or Michigan doing it. It's really good exposure.

I don't know.. so much of the episodes showed kids walking to class, going to school, studying, I am not sure a SEC school where Kids don't go to play school, will present the best option.. Oregon seems like best choice because visually it will be a 30 minute long ad for Nike

Does anyone have a link to the latest episode? I canceled showtime after the episode before last night.

I really liked this season on the show and i don't think they could have featured a better ND team.

Realistically, how many players actually got air time going to/being in class. Six to eight maybe - ten tops? Any school out there can make that work.

One of the worst episodes due to the suspensions along with Jaylon going down. Elijah was in absolute shock as you could see. Goddamn that injury still makes my stomach churn, not only because of the severity but because of the kid and the leader. It was great to have this show this season, though. Team 127, thank you.

I wonder if this will be made available via Blue Ray?

I've said it before, but this has been one of my favorite teams. To go through as much as they did with injuries and still play as well as they did was awesome.

Just watched the final episode, sad to see the season end the way it did. But what a great group of guys to be proud of!

They even jumped on the Joe bashing, using him for the guys that will never play again. Get himself in better shape, he could be a locker room backup/special teams guy.

Guessing Michigan, USC, or Washington. No info.

Really hope it isn't a football factory. I'd love to see one of the academies, though that's doubtful.

UNC or Baylor.

Seriously though, wouldn't be surprised if they went with Penn State. Franklin has to be dying to bring some positive press to the program.

I read that and I actually don't have any issues with the academies doing any of that. Maybe that's just me.

It's not just you. These kids are still going to serve their country in the military for years after graduation; so the author trying to lump them in with athletes at football factories is a farce, at best.

Dabo or Jimbo would be good.

But my 2nd tier would be Kirby Smart (probably could not handle), Butch Jones, Kakis, David shaw (christian Mcafery), Mark Richt


Naming coaches because their programs matter, but you gotta have something compelling...cult of personality, expectations, Heisman fav..

I don't think I will watch the show after having ND in it. Maybe a team like Alabama just to see how one of the most dominate teams, both in recruiting and on the field, functions. I just don't care to follow any other team that closely besides for Syracuse. Man that would be an awful show.

I never even watched any of the ND ones. "Behind the curtain" shows don't interest me that much. I'd rather envision the players as indestructible T-800's unable to be reasoned with, than young men who poop, sleep, and have to write reactionary essays to an Emily Dickinson poem in class.
