A Season with Notre Dame Football

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.

Then you might actually enjoy the FSU one.

Wish this was at ND again. I think the extra eyes help ensure players are putting forth a good effort and doing all the right things. I'd like to think the Showtime series had a hand in our decent season last year, 10-2 was a pretty good regular season despite the injuries again. Sadly this will probably show FSU as a squeaky clean program, with exemplary athletes from top to bottom...they won't be filming the club and show Cook smacking women.

I hope they start to tank and Showtime is there for the trainwreck. It'd be even better if they go under investigation at some point during the season.

I'd love to see Jimbo sink. He's a turd.

Really?

Get real!

You can't come up with some (fleetingly) current rap or hip hopster shooting star???

it is going to have to be a different tone...terry jillery's escapades with chemistry isn't going to be something FSU can muster...cinematography might be tough because in a cost cutting measure showtime decided to just send their crew on a three month ride along, and use the dash cam footage...

So we'll get some strained version of "the program", but with some reality TV in there

I'm surprised Jimbo gave the OK. I would think that it'd be harder for the Tallahassee PD to ignore his players' crimes with all those videos around taking evidence.

Sure seems like FSU has a bunch of thugs when you watch both videos. They really stress the academics, faith, and family in the ND trailer. You see little of those 3 in the FSU one. It's more like football, football, football, football again...one 3 second blurb about balancing academics, then football.

I don't want to be the jerk here, but did we really expect them to portray FSU the same way they did ND... ND is a unique place, which is what we always preach.. FSU is a football factory and that is what they will show... I am sure JIMBO has same control as Brian and Jack did, so they def won't show kids getting in trouble

Has anyone seen any of these this year with FSU? Especially the last couple of weeks? I only saw the ND ones last yearwhen someone posted hush hush youtube links.

I can't imagine it did. Why would it? If anything from last year would have an negative impact, it would be the bowl game.
