Agreed, finally. The USFL epi was solid. Excited to watch the SMU episode.

the SMU one was probably the best.......really gives a snapshot of big texas college football in the 90s

the shitty part is ESPN is being scumbags with the iTunes prices.......way too expensive

I got the Pony Excess one on dvr now, and just got done watching the "One night in Vegas".  The only one I didnt like was the one about the Raiders directed by Ice Cube.  But other than that, they are solid.

Pony Excess was excellent.  It's funny that Dickerson still won't talk about what he got for going to SMU.  I also liked the USFL episode.  I'd like to see the new USFL get off the ground and bring back Spring football.

They are awesome.  I've watched the one on Markus Dupree 3 times.
The SMU one was good too.  The one on The U was excellent as well.

In the SMU one, did they talk to Craig James who is an analyst now for ESPN?  the U was very good too.....I will always remember that Cotton Bowl when Miami destroyed Texas.....they were throwing the ball at players after scoring and dancing for 5 minutes.....200 yds in penalites, I think....haha

Same one.  He was in the backfield with Dickerson as the "Pony Express" back in the day....he probably wouldn't touch this documentary with a 10 ft pole......or just lie his ass off....haha

they had a tyson/tupac one on tonight that was actually pretty good, anyone that is a fan of either would probably enjoy it.
