Good product, not as interesting or juicy as it should’ve been.

Lol i hear you but anyone expecting UF to allow Netflix access to the campus and footage to put out something that would be considered a “hit piece” is insane. It was a solid doc that I do think they could have dug a bit deeper in the off the field issues and it still not be a hit piece. It felt like an Urban Meyer redemption arc kinda like MJ and the last dance

Would it have been Netflix, or was this independently produced and then sold to Netlfix? Might seem to be some minor distinction, but if the director and/or producer was a UF alum, it's possible he/she could get solid access without Florida needing to "sign off" on the content.

Not an argument, just a basic question. I think that Billy Corben did all of his own work on "Broke" and "The U" (part 1) before selling to ESPN 30 For 30. Not sure about The U Part 2, everyone probably saw that one coming a mile away.

The fact that they barely touched on Hernandez told me all I need to know about the "angle" being pushed. Clearly a Meyer redemption piece.

I mean don't Chico ALREADY have like 2 different docs out about him???

I'm being obtused and biased when i asked that lol.

Although I know they wanted to "distance" themselves from him, it is a slap in the face to our intelligence that they didn't at least speak on Chico even if it was for FIVE minutes. Same with Cam Newton and his time at UF

Dude was whacking off in teammates faces. I think that deserved a 5 minute mention.

Doc was ****
at least it came off as a "failure piece"
finebaum was finebaum
lot more emo than I thought it would be
tebow IMO has a learning disorder
skipped a ton of crap and fluffed urbs nuts

even if it wasn't a hit piece, I would have loved to see Chris Leak, Cornelius Ingram, Reggie Nelson, and the Pouncey Twins speak. Harvin would have been golden but he's somewhere high as kite lol

 

[flagator86]

I'll admit, I did chuckle when Tebow recalled the beginning of our 08 season and said we "killed" Miami. He sensationalized that because that game was WAAAAY closer than the final score.....appreciate that Robert Marve

Yeah, agree.

Another bummer was the absence of Harvin, he was arguably the best player on that teams.

....oh on the fact that he almost chocked his position coach
....and Dunlap DUI
....and Rainey death threats to his girlfriend

That Siler guy though, looked pretty cool for a Gator.

 

[rccollins]

Sounds like someone needs to make the actual doc we all were expecting.

Could have been done in 2 minutes...

 

[kmoj9kmo]

Found it kind of weird they never mentioned any of the in state rivals, or any team in other conferences for that matter, throughout the entire doc minus one Tebow line saying they killed Miami

pretty sure that game was 9-3 before one of the worst review overturns in history gifted the gators like 30 yards on a 3rd and long.

bruh I remember this ish perfectly. It was going to be 4-9 or try like a 47 yard field goal, their WR jumps up "catches" it, gets an elbow in bounds then immediately drops the ball as he hit the ground. They call it incomplete on the field, review it, and rule it is a catch as they had the one still shot where he had the ball, elbow in and was still falling. Still do not understand it to this day.

I gave it 16 mins and turned it off. The Tebow pool deck scene with the Bible ended it for me. I also couldn’t get passed the way they were trying to frame meyer as this disciplinarian military family accountability guy when we all KNOW how big of a POS that guy is. Just not gonna give it anymore bandwidth.

It just seems like a can UF gets lucky and wins similar to last year. I’m trusting the fact that UF is only able to run that it won’t matter. And Utah is a good roster up and down.

UF has had a number of OL departures. My impression is they have a serviceable starting 5, but no depth to withstand injuries. Let's see

Tim Teblow is the same fraudulent guy he has always been.

The game was 9-3 at the beginning of the 4th quarter. But Florida "killed" us.

Go to the 10:30 mark.



1. The pass was ruled INCOMPLETE on the field.
2. Neither foot comes down in bounds.
3. The referee claims the "runner had possession of the ball" and that the "left elbow touched at the 5 yard line". Both of those statements are incorrect assertions of the concept of a RECEIVER making the RECEPTION in-bounds. The issue of "possession" in the air is not relevant to whether a player is in-bounds, and the issue of where his elbow touched would only relate to SPOTTING the ball if a valid reception has made.
4. Plus, the possession did not survive the contact with the ground, possession was IMMEDIATELY lost upon making contact with the ground.
5. NOTHING in the video rises to the level of certainty required to overturn a call of incomplete pass MADE ON THE FIELD.


Here we go, from the 2008 college football rulebook:

I think the would have to punt if they didn't convert. I was WRONG!

They spent so much time reviewing his arm they missed that the ball ended up over by the cheerleaders.
