OMG

stunned.

absolutely amazing.

I have totally underestimated the way this is going to paint the heisman presentation.

i was thrilled and honored to be there, what a great film...it was like watching a thriller, not a documentary.

[RednBlue11]

Great film, big crowd, longhorn fans are not going to like this!

or the aggies...haha, the Gold Trans-A&M!

[Pony Soup]

Sick!

i liked the montage during the credits...kind of a middle finger to the NCAA

Loved the movie, and a great job to Thad and everyone involved. Wish I could have stayed for the question answer, but considering I had to say I had a "family emergency" to get out of work for a few hours, I had to run back to the office and bill some hours.

I heard that Skip Bayless comes off as enjoyable to listen to in the movie. If that's true, than Thad truly has done outstanding work.

I couldn't wait to read what ya'll thought and after reading the comments, I am even more anxious to see it! Congratulations to Thad!

[Arkpony]

Congrats to Thad! As a filmmaker myself, I know what is involved and altho I wasn't able to make the premier, he HAD to have done an outstanding job to elicit the response and attract ESPN's attention like he has! Job well done Thad!

true fact

Amazing job!! Couldnt have been more impressed. The entire movie is a who's who of SMU and Dallas Sports. A true classic. Also met one of the stars in the movie at Campisis afterwards and he couldnt have been happier with how it turned out. Now thats a true testament on its greatness.

My thoughts exactly. A little surprised ESPN had the balls to include/approve that. May be a good example of how ESPN controls that sport now and feel they can operate with impunity.

I second everything everyone else said. Great telling of the story and was impressed with the amount and breadth of individuals involved that helped tell the complete story.

the date they chose to air it as well.

To say the film is edgy is an understatement of biblical proportions. And this term is overused, but this was flat out cathartic. And, yes, any recruit or his parents who watches the entire film (gotta see the last few minutes with the arrival of June Jones), will commit immediately.

Also, I can see this film helping us move up conference-wise. The film conveys a very strong feeling that we did some very bad things, but what the NCAA (and our own leaders) did to us was a punishment far exceeding the crimes. Just wow.

if i believed in astrology i would swear that something cosmic has aligned for the timing of this doc. to be released.

I feel like a lot of the 30 for 30's were about making everyone feel good about the story they tell...

this one is polarizing, and it's gonna [deleted] alot of people off...i mean there were moments when the tension could have been cut w/ a knife in that theater last night.

And I love the fact that it will make people uncomfortable.

I went from prideful, to deeply embarrassed, to depressed, to hopeful and full of pride again.
