9.79 was very good. Liked how they exposed Carl Lewis for being a fraud.

Skipped this weeks. Benji looks like it will be worth watching.

The main problem with "There's No Place Like Home" was that it was put together on the fly with no idea what was going on. Then there's the fact that the subject matter was so focused. There was nothing there that someone who isn't a huge college basketball or specifically, a KU fan, would really care about. It would have been more interesting if he maybe a bunch of fans pitched in to get the rules. but he just goes to the rich boosters - who in some cases (not saying with KU basketball) are what's wrong with college athletics.

With what we've come to expect from these docs, that one fell woefully short. I hope that's not a sign that they expanded this idea too far too fast.

Benji tonight. First one I have looked forward to seeing during this run of 30 for 30.

Benji and Bo Jackson are the only ones I am really interested in.

I remember the Benji Wilson story quite well.

Yes....it was a hell of a lot of famous people who played for Simeon back in the day. Simeon was like the ghetto Duke of Chicago. Basketball powerhouse for decades. If you were a hooper, you went there.

They're knocking it out of the park with this one.
