Hijo Del Helmsley posted:Roll Tide/War Eagle is one of the most interesting for people who don't already know about the INTENSE rivalry between Alabama and Auburn University. Plus it has a pretty ending when the two teams and their fanbases unite to rebuild after Katrina. That one's one of my least favorite ones, since it tries to force an ending which isn't true at all. Tornado or not, Bama and Auburn will never like each other and it's a better ending to show that natural disasters won't even keep the two from hating each other. It seemed like they wanted to get Harvey Updyke on film before he kicked, since he could go at any time, and then used the back and forth titles as justification. Except after the Auburn win Bama won a couple more and the Kick Six is the greatest play in the history of sport and an entire doc could be done on that alone. I don't know if there's ever a good time to do a documentary on an ongoing rivalry, but it was far too soon to hit on this time period. It's the same reason I didn't like the Red Sox one when it came out, there needs to be some passing of time for people to reflect on an event and what it really means in the larger scheme of things. Thankfully the college football ones they've had have all been good, save U Part 2, which again suffers from being too recent.
