SMU 30 for 30

[whaler11]

It's on right now and they just got their miracle win over UConn.

If I remember correctly it was on CPTV.

SMU made up a 16 pt deficit in the last 5 minutes... their next few games were hilarious. Notre Dame 59-6 with the Irish trying not to score. Houston hung 95 on them in the Astrodome.

At least there is one random strand of history for UConn with an AAC team.

Dickerson and James both claim not to have taken money to play there, lol.

Well as Costanza would tell you it's not a lie if you believe it.

Any college athlete who doesn't take a pile of cash is crazy.

It was on wtnh 8, I believe. Power went out due to storm up here and I went to bed with UCONN up Big. Kevin Wesley had just scored. I thought the newspaper had misprint the next morning.

It may have been channel 8. I do know they mispronounced my neighbor's hometown as SOUTH-ing-ton at least twice.

I enjoyed that 30 for 30 the best. The Marcus Dupree one was great as well.

I'll believe that Dickerson and James took no cash when Sinatra rises from the dead and cures cancer.

I like the one with Bo Jackson.

Who still has the fastest 40 ever timed at the combine.

I've always liked Bo Jackson growing up because he stutters and I was a huge stutterer as a kid (Still do when I get anxious or nervous). The walking on walls, throwing frozen ropes, from the warning track and predigous football pedigree only made him more of god. I still remember the day he injured his hip.

Dickerson lies by omission about the money he took from SMU. He simply does not answer the question.

Did everyone on the SMU segment appear, I dont know, smug?

Sorry to hijack the thread a little, but I totally agree on the Bo Jackson stuttering. I also stuttered as a kid (now much less as an adult) and remember Jackson's interview on the Arsenio Hall Show. The way he paused and selected his vocabulary in conversation, I knew he stuttered.

Although ... stuttering may have led to him being such a focused and determined competitior. The motivation to overcome something like that can be very strong.

I won't argue with that...

I remember that interview. I remember him taking verbal pauses (uhh, umm) in between syllables and words until he got the sound out that he was looking for. I remember it because I used to find myself feeling like I was about to stutter on a certain word (I have problems with certain sounds to start words.) and choose a different word, which only made me sound like Porky Pig. I remember using a lot more verbal pauses from then on out. It dissuaded people from interrupting or trying to finish my sentences because, at the very least, I was making a sound...

Stuttering can certainly be overcome (See: Walton, Bill), but I don't wish it on any child, regardless if they turn out like Vincent Edward Jackson.
