Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

juanpablo_lb If you love sports and the real deal going on behind universitary football, it is a must.

william_scheler The Coach in season 3 is the biggest reason why this was the best season. A White guy from Compton. 'The Eminem of football coaching.' He truly cares about his players and sympathizes with them. He is edgy but he gets the most out of his players and he does not leave the players defeated even if he harsh. Truly tough love. Also, the football teams history was very poor, so it made it more of a comeback story. Season 3 scores a 10! Season 1 and 2 is also really good but start with season 3.

schindler-41313 This is an excellent documentary that truly captures what it is to be a part of a football team in the South. Larger than life personalities mingle and clash unfiltered within the setting of the most "Southern" of the southern states, Mississippi, where no two things matter more than Jesus and Football. What makes the South different than most places is that it unabashedly wears its soul on the outside for all to see. It is an impossible Gumbo of compassion, hope, joy, camaraderie and love mixed in with hypocrisy, bombastic narcissism, misplaced priorities, mistrust and deep social issues. At first glance it appears incredibly dysfunctional, but in the end it somehow makes sense. I feel that this documentary captures the reality of the South and of Mississippi.This documentary also exposes the universal issue of institutions of learning bending to the needs of their Athletic Programs. So often the tail is wagging the dog. Even so it complicates the issue by firmly highlighting that for many Athletics provides the only viable opportunity to escape a life of poverty and violence.There are people like Brittany Wagner (in the documentary), who devote their lives to forging opportunities for others, and their contributions too often go unnoticed. We live in a screwed up world, it is refreshing to see people like her who refuse to give up on the lives of others.

oneeyedrat I've only watched the first episode so far, and I'll watch the rest. But I am so dismayed about your frustration with the community college culture. My husband was a music teacher in a CC, and realized that these kids just need a little more discipline, a bit more maturity and maybe a different leader than the parents could provide. He also knew that if you go to a CC, and then are more mature to handle the stresses of a full University, he may have changed the trajectory of an entire family. When my daughter was graduating from high school, my state was in a huge recession and my income dropped by over 50%. She had to go to a local CC while all her friends went to University. I told her that she was a little too social, and had not gotten good enough grades, nor had any athletic or musical talent to get a scholarship. But, not to worry, most of her friends would be back and going to CC after their first year.And they were. She is a very successful news journalist now. Many kids just need to mature and catch up a bit, before they tackle the strain of discipline without parents. I feel so bad for these kids! They have bad parents, a bleak life, bad education....BUT, athletic talent. This is the ONLY way for them to not repeat the sins of their fathers.
