I understand, I watched many of the 30/30 over the years, Miami, Marcus Dupree, etc. When I was growing up I always enjoyed watching the annual OU/Nebraska showdown. Usually high quality entertaining games.

Show me where I said I don’t WANT it to be told. I questioned the phrase “NEEDed to be told”. That’s it. There have already been fluff pieces done. I’d rather see something with new stories told.
Display fluff pieces?
If your a huge Nebraska fan this story needs to be told..
You’re not and I’am… End of Story..
There are only 3 programs to win 3 in 4 years. We were the only program to go unbeaten those 3. If this had been USC it would have gotten the attention it deserves.
Why do you post in this thread? Is it a want or a need? We don’t NEED you to post here, and yet you do anyway.
Judging by the responses you’ve received in this thread, posters here would rather see something different as well. Are you going to apply to yourself the same standard here that you are applying to ScarletRed?
Oh for the love of god … this story has been pitched up, down and sideways to every national and regional outlet in existence and has fallen flat - no one is interested.
what fleeting interest there may have been was quickly extinguished when it became apparent that any narrative other than one that only exclusively extolled the virtues of a bunch of predominately god-fearing Nebraska natives and a coach doing it with morality and justice beyond reproach whilst battling against other morally bereft programs would not be tolerated
look at the creators of the documentary - this is simply a propaganda piece
the only people claiming this story “needs to be told” are cult-indoctrinated zealots who aren’t really interested in the true story seeing the light of day

Jealous nut job.
Can’t wait for the Iowa documentary about when they almost won the conference that one year… as soon as it’s out I think I’ll find my way to your board, create a fake Iowa screen name and post away.
Heard the GG doc is in pre-production, they're just waiting for him to exhaust his eligibility in 2025...
Not an Iowa fan .. but pretty confident that a couple of former Iowa football players wouldn’t be stupid enough to sink a bunch of time and money to produce a documentary that absolutely no one was even remotely interested in .. now they have to schlep it around the state in an attempt to cut their losses because they know there are at least some rubes out there that think this story “needs to be told”
i actually feel sorry for these players as they have been indoctrinated since birth in thinking that people outside the state would give the slightest damn about this story
the echo chamber which these people live in is criminal

It doesn't make sense. It's like hey I like the Bears and the Packers. Can't we all just be friends? The answer is no, no we can't.
There's a reason bloods don't wear the color blue. Same reason we don't. Creighton is our rival, not our friend.
in basketball sure. not really in any other sport though. I cheer for Neb in all sports, even basketball. I only really cheer for creighton's mens bb team. Although it was cool to see their women's team make a run. wouldnt call myself a "Fan". just a spectator.
I have zero ties to either school, so I cheer for both. We can agree to disagree here. but at least we can both agree that Iowa sucks.
Yes, Iowa does suck and I do get what you're saying somewhat. I went to the Nebraska vs. Northwestern men's basketball game this year. Stayed for the whole thing as we got blown out by 30. Traveled 2.5 hours for that. I'm a fan. I'd do it again because hope springs eternal. I do have ties to the school as my family and I are academic donors, so even though I struggle with the whole split allegiance thing, I understand it.
Let me ask you this, if Creighton had a football team and it became more successful than Nebraska, who would you root for?
Who ever you’re a fan of your jealous of what Nebraska accomplished… Other wise you wouldn’t have to create a user man bitching about it..
Here’s my response… why do you care? The only people who care about this are Nebraska fans. We are talking about it in a husker chat room. The very place that you would expect it to be talked about. Why does this bother you enough that you have posted 3 of your 5 posts in this thread? Most people would read this, chuckle if they thought it was silly, and move on. But not you.
And you wonder why many think you’re yet another Iowa troll with a recycled name…
You say you aren’t an Iowa fan. What team are you a fan of?
I believe ESPN wanted to. Key participants in it (namely TO) declined to be a part of it.
I would have been fine with it, warts and all, as that is what a 30 for 30 is. The net result would have been a showcase of one of the most dominant runs in CFB history. The bad pub wouldn't sting as much 20 years removed.
I was skeptical about this doc especially since it was done by two former players and since they were raising money for TO's teammates at the theater..I figured it may just be a "puff piece" and just a watered down version not covering any of the behind the scenes dirt that went on.
But, according to one of the producers (as long as he is not blowing smoke) this has me encouraged:
Part two, called 'The Dynasty', documents everything from the 1994 season to Osborne’s retirement in 1997, including events that happened away from the gridiron.
“There’s multiple people that talk about each of those, from Lawrence Phillips to Brook Berringer, to the competitive battle at quarterback with Tommie Frazier, a number of off the field incidents," Brungardt said. "Even players and coaches we’ve interviewed came back and asked us ‘How did you get so and so? How did you get that guy to talk?'"
Also from the article:
We essentially had a vision of what we thought we wanted to cover but as people started expanding on and bringing to life new stories, new situations, it just kind of kept taking on a life of its own and evolving," Brungardt said. “There’s a lot of stuff we were able to dig out through these interviews that nobody’s ever heard before. Nobody’s ever spoken on before.”
This has me encouraged that this will not just be a puff piece and have some layers to it. I just hope that since it is part two that talks about 94-97 Dynasty that it is long enough to cover everything, and show just how dominant NU was during that time.
I dont think the 1995 team has EVER been documented or really talked about in depth by anyone as of yet which is a shame as the 1995 team is probably the most dominant college football team since they started
putting facemasks on the helmets.
