RE: OT: Netflix's Last Chance U
The series was pretty great. I watched it as soon as it came out and I enjoyed all of the off the field parts of this. I've been involved in athletics and this is certainly the struggle. The coach comes off as a DBag, but i'll tell you from experience he's like a lot of them that i'v been around. I think he may have ramped up his behavior with cameras around rather than holding back.
Those who say the OC should be head coach are missing the mark. That dude is a bit soft and would not command the same respect. Trust me. I think the head coach obviously can recruit well, whatever that process may be.
I think the academic advisor was certainly the start of the show. I wish we would hire her at WKU. She's passionate, and most of all very understanding of the kids struggles. She should be able to move on somewhere much better.
I will really enjoy watching DJ Law at UAB. Will be pulling for him in all games but one. It was so real to see how scared he was when he hurt his knee. That was the epitome of how it is for those kids. one more bad break and you are done.

I mean I know this goes on across the country, but when you get an inside look I just have a hard time watching it. When we talk about this concept of athletes getting preferential treatment over regular students no where is this made as obvious than with the academic advisor. No regular students are getting the coaching that the football players get from her. And I echo some of the other sentiments stated previously. Perhaps as much as anything is we see the lack of parental involvement in these kids lives growing up. It's an indictment on our society that we still haven't been able to figure out how to break this vicious cycle where poor education begets poor education. It starts much sooner than we see it here in this series. I also can't help but feel for Ollie. I can't imagine what it must have been like to not only lose both your parents at the same time but lose them in the way that he did. I can't imagine the psychological damage. I give him a lot of credit just for holding it together as well as he has.
If I were the President of the university I would have fired the head coach after watching the series. My guess is he had no idea of all the intricacies on the inside. Probably would have promoted the OC. He seems like an ok dude. The head coach is dangerous/reckless. At some point, recognition has to happen that ethics, morals and developing people (not just athletes) is more important than wins and losses. College football has flipped this on its head and is increasingly reciprocating everything that is wrong with our society. It's making it harder for me to enjoy the game.
Lastly, I would offer my own personal story related to a JUCO, but dahbeed would just accuse me of being some bugscuffle (whatever that means) whose the best at everything and knows everything.
I completely agree that the OC needs to be the HC. Buddy shoved a player at some point. Its clear the players dont respect him and degrade him behind his back. I honestly feel sorry for his kids on this doc as they will see their dad being an absolute ass. Great series though.

I live about an hour from EMCC. I have now heard from a number of people that the head coach saw his behavior on video and was very ashamed. He has vowed to change. Time will tell if this happens or not. And if they are doing season 2, then we will find out real soon.
I agree with your points. AS the $$$ hit college football and basketball has grown, the corruption, cheating, and lack of integrity (in many instances) has grown right along with it.
both of yaz are simply tippin' the teat.....
the show is EVERYTHING wrong in hand=holding armature <sic> athletics and muh media....
well done....

For those interested in seeing their game tonight it will be streamed on the website jcjc.tv starting at 7:00 PM CT. I have no idea on the production but I'll tune in to see some of it. I was hoping to make it but plans changed.

RE: OT: Netflix's Last Chance U
I watched bits and pieces of the game and considering EMCC played 1st year players only they didn't do too bad. I think I saw where they only dressed 33 or so players while the other 23 or so returners were serving the suspension from last year's season ending brawl.

RE: OT: Netflix's Last Chance U
Last Chance U won the Mississippi JuCo championship yesterday with 38-30 win over #4 Northwest Mississippi. East Mississippi was #3 going into the game so there's still a chance they can play for a national championship. Their only loss of the season was their season opener when approximately half the team was suspended due to the season ending brawl the previous season.

A few weeks ago, I saw the EMCC team at a Haunted Firehouse ( volunteer fire dept that does a haunted fire house every year as their fundraiser) on Halloween with the Netflix team in tow. It was interesting to see.

Considering the #1 and #2 ranked NJCAA teams won over the weekend it appears those 2 will play for the JuCo championship. The only hope for East Mississippi is that they beat the #4 ranked team whereas #1 and #2 both beat unranked teams
Fort Scott (4-6) at No. 1 Garden City (9-0) GARDEN CITY 27, FORT SCOTT 6 FINAL
No. 2 Arizona Western (10-0) at Scottsdale (1-8) AWC 49, SCOTTSDALE 7 FINAL
Rankings going into this past weekend:
RANK COLLEGE STATE RECORD POINTS PREV
1 Garden City (5) KS 9-0 207.0 1
2 Arizona Western (4) AZ 10-0 201.5 2
3 East Mississippi MS 9-1 190.0 3
4 Northwest Mississippi MS 9-1 177.5 4

Finishing up the 2nd season now, I still think the HC needs to be punched once in the mouth and he will probably stop running it.

EMCC is so well known now they don't need him to coach. Any good young up and coming coach can work there. Buddy doesn't seem to be of any assistance with these kids academically or in any other part of the game.
This season was great a lot of FAU in there with De'Andre who was unstoppable for them the last 7 games or so.
Clint Tricket looks like a great up and coming coach as well.

The Bonner kid on the new version is as dumb as any kid I have seen. They have to use subtitles for him. Sorry he didn't get the attention he needed early on. There is no way any legit school could sign him and keep him eligible. No way.

I hate the part where he kept saying last season was "taken away from them'. No, your team acted a fool because they are coached by a person who acts a fool on the field.
He says he cares about them but you can tell he is lying. If you cared, you wouldn't threaten a kid's scholarship every time he screws up.

RE: OT: Netflix's Last Chance U
Some of you guys have obviously never been on a football field. This type of atmosphere is just about everywhere. Some coaches use profanity more than others but it's never pretty at football practice.
Lot's of people dislike the HC. I'm not exactly a fan but I also remind myself that the producers are showing the audience what they want to see. Some tune in to this show just to see his tantrums, so of course you are going to see a lot of that and not the other side; assuming there is one.
I enjoy the approach that the DL coach takes. He is a hard-ass on the field because he knows they have to be hardened but when he gets them in the office or away from the field, he treats them respectfully and can speak to them like men.

I would imagine that is the case with JUCO players more often than not. The entry requirements aren't too high and they get to restart their career.
Hell, half the players on the show admit that they didn't go to class in high school and got by strickly due to being star athletes. It is a sad sight but a real one.

Oh, I'm well aware this is all throughout football but this shill of a head coach is acting like they were robbed last year. If the coach himself possibly showed a shred of restraint, maybe the players would have done the same.

I don't disagree with what you are saying from a moral standpoint. What I will point out is that he used it as a way to motivate his players. I could be wrong but I dont recall him saying that to the media.

Marshall takes Trey Rodriguez yet you sit here on a message board and call kids dumb.
I think its good these kids get chances at University's because what type of society would we be if we gave up on them?
On the other hand though I do see forcing these kids through the system because they can play football isn't much better. Kam Carter had obvious troubles with even acting like an adult in the classroom yet got into Penn State a top 100 University out of high school.
Chauncey the other DL said it best in the 1st episode this season said something along the line that kids form Mississippi have this idea it's JUCO then onto a 4 year University and that they don't even try and qualify out of high school. He went onto say that he feels its schools systems that feed into that and Ms. Wagner agreed.
