March 18, 201313 yr I thought that documentary was pretty good, I really enjoyed it. Made me think of my dad a lot and how blessed I feel that he made me fall in love with UK at an early age. I hope that he gets to enjoy several more Championships. I do wish they would have given Tubby a little love, but you can't cover it all in an hour. They could have made that 3 hours long and I would have watched the whole thing. And Bobby Knight sucks.
March 18, 201313 yr does anyone know if it is going to be on anymore missed the first 30 minutes. Thursday,I think at 5:30 PM...

March 18, 201313 yr It was ok. Just a quick recap of things, but I thought it would highlight more of the fandom. I didn't understand the final 20 minutes showcasing Derek Anderson and MKG. And it did reaffirm my dislike of IU and Knight.
March 18, 201313 yr Seeing MKG's fire and enthusiasm made me miss him on this years team and showed this years team just didn't "get it". Watching the part about the 96 team brought back great memories and gave me goose bumps! Ready for next year already!
March 18, 201313 yr I will say that I'm not sure about the direction they were going in haha! It was strange. They talk about the '92 game then go in to showing Derek Anderson as if he were the missing piece of the UK puzzle all of these years.
