30 for 30 running thread

Elon Musk could have got you a federal subsidy.

 

Cool 30 for 30 short on the court at the Mecca and also the year the San Francisco Giants tried out a crab mascot that everyone hated.

 

I'm into Last Chance U and just got to the fight vs. Mississippi Delta. Agree with most of the previous analysis. Coach is a first-class ass. How can you go from "Fuck 'em up. FUCK THEM UP" to the Lord's Prayer in the same breath. Brittany is the bomb. The assistant coaches are really good. How are these guys eligible? I know, it's junior college.

 

Yes, Crazy Crab! People used to throw stuff at him!

 

Lol. What a fucking target. Front and back!

 

Don't remember that, but seems a bit like the Islanders and the Fisherman jersey.

Speaking of hockey, saw a guy with a Whalers shirt today. Only went to three games there, but miss that place and that team.

 

Three new ones this fall:

Phi Slama Jama, Oct. 18

Hit it Hard (John Daly), Nov. 1

Catholics vs Convicts (Miami vs Notre Dame), Dec. 10 (after the Heisman presentation)

Details:

ESPN Films debuting three new 30 for 30 documentaries this fall, led by Phi Slama Jama

 

Do we rrrrrrrreaally need another Goddamned Miami one? This'll be three.

 

Yeah, enough with Miami. I will definitely watch the other two, though.

 

That's what I was thinking. As someone pointed out on Twitter, they've had 3 documentaries since their last conference title.

 

If Chip Rives was trolling for talking heads commentary for Phi Slama Jama, hopefully he got Win Butler. Grew up a Hakeem Olajuwon fan, and fronts a band called Phi Slama Jama (the male members of Arcade Fire occasionally playing covers at a bar on tour nights off). Trolled Madison Square Garden the first time he played there ("I'm standing right about where Hakeem Olajuwon hit his game-winning shot in the '94 finals"). Might be fun, the way Ray Manzarek's contributions to HBO's UCLA documentary were (he was a film student there during their '64 and '65 title runs).

 

Chip Rives? I haven't heard that name since he played football at Wake Forest and was one of the "Athletes Who Care," who were named the 1987 SI sportspeople of the year.

And as someone who followed college hoops pretty closely in the 1980s, I'll definitely be checking out that doc.
