I watched it - it got a little slow at times - but overall, I thought it was excellent.

What I am surprised at though, is how much Seth Davis knew about Rupp's racial opinions. I didn't realize he and Seth were close.

In fact, was Seth Davis even born when Rupp was alive???

I was very intrigued by it. I did think that it could have been produced and edited better but the interviews, photos and film clips were fascinating. They added up well to contest the "revisionist history" (how many times did they say that?) that has been presented as fact. Also, did you hear Tubby mention the "Wildcat Nation"?
I wonder what name he uses on here? :lol:

I finally got to see this show. I thought it was very informative.

You can forget ESPN ever airing this one. It paints too positive of light on UK and Coach Rupp.

I watched most of this too. Very informative. Showed a totally different side of Rupp, IMO. I am too young to remember the man but all I had heard was not very positive. This gave some very accurate examples of how he was not nearly as 'bad' as people outside of the program thought.
