Saving the best for last IMO. Can't wait for this.

Been waiting to watch this one for awhile now. Wonder if it can top "The Two Escobars" as my favorite one.

I'm interested to see the Craig James angle.

My thoughts exactly. It's going to be so hard to, though. I just found that it was on my On Demand the other night and watched it again.

wonder how deep they dig. Could certainly be the most interesting one.

I'm hoping pretty deep. This stuff happened a little before my sports time as I was born in '81. I haven't really seen anything about the story other than a cursory look at the Wikipedia page about it.

Who was the coach from 81-84?

Re: ESPN 30 for 30: Pony Excess (Saturday, 9:00 PM)

the coaches name at the time was Bobby Collins. Ron Meyer was the coach in '81 then Collins came in until the death penalty was instituted:

The director wanted more time with it, so it's becoming a 2 hour documentary that ESPN is showing in the spring. I remember Bill Simmons talking about it and he said he liked it more than the Red Sox one even before the director asked to extend it, so it should be a good one. From what I've heard, it's not so much about Bartman as it is about fandom and the extent people take theirs to.

About the SMU one though, I'm DVRing it since I'll be at a wedding, but I'm definitely looking forward to checking it out since I don't know much about the story
