Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I lived in Miami at this time and just recently watched the "U"..... This was so fantastic and the authenticity and truthfulness of these athletes is unmatched..... They are not despicable at all.... they are, "real." They made a social statement that every American should see....and, they were , fantastic football players who worked hard to have a winning team. I am enraged that they would be referred to as, "despicable." They made the University, millions of dollars and improved the football program to a level that was never seen.... Doesn't that deserve recognition? I am disgusted at anyone who insults them..... I am completely inspired by their bravery and courage, which most people do not have. They were themselves and they were very talented. They did not play by the social rules of the time..... so what? That makes them despicable...? No, that makes them, "unconventional." I am very offended at the insults to the most "authentic," football team ever seen.....And, I love Jimmy Johnson, for standing by them...... you will never find a coach stand by his controversial players in this day and age.... hats off to Jimmy!!! And, furthermore, all of the coaches (Schnelleberger, Johnson, Erikson) were extremely different in style but brought out the best in them.I love the Hurricanes!!

In the 1980s and 90s, the University of Miami went from a second-rate college football school to THE powerhouse school. Unfortunately, they did this by encouraging thuggish behavior--a celebration of obnoxious and unsportsmanlike conduct. While this isn't the main reason I could now care less about sports, it is one of many. Sure, they were good teams--but the players frequently had brushes with the law, acted like jerks on and off the field and promoted the worst in people. BUT, they won games because apparently that is what's important in life--not character, class or intellect--just winning. Well, the ex-players and coaches all interviewed think this was the case, but there were many non-Miami players and coaches who couldn't stand them...and said so in this film. All in all, I found this to be one the least enjoyable films in the "30 for 30" series. Mostly, this was because I really hated what these people represented...and also because the film seemed to promote this or at least to tolerate it. This non-judgmental approach might appeal to some. It just made me annoyed. And, your view of their antics will greatly affect what you think of this installment of the series. It sure left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Wow, are these the most despicable college athletes ever? It sure looks it. I've talked to a half-dozen people who watched this episode and all of them wanted to put their hand through the TV and slap some of these arrogant punks, which includes coach Jimmy Johnson. "Swagger" is okay, but this is way too much.One thing I'll say is the players and coaches sure put the U. of Miami football program on the map, and it was an exciting brand of football to watch. However, when you watch this show of non-stop in-your-face arrogance by those involved you'll be anything but a fan of the "U." Have any of these thugs heard of the word "humility?" I think not.

When I first saw the preview on ESPN 'what if i told you...college football was hit by a decade long hurricane?' and from that moment I was psyched seeing how I'm a huge football fan, NFL and college. I love football history and I've always wanted to hear about 'The U' in the 1980's. It didn't disappoint. This is the best documentary I have ever seen. In the 1970's Miami Football was a doormat for everyone else, but when Howard Schnellenberger arrived, he turned the team around by recruiting in the toughest ghettos of South Florida. The talent level was off the charts and they had a coach that knew how to control it. Interviews from the players and coaches tell how they transformed Miami into The U and a powerhouse that gave out beatings on the field while taunting and dancing in front of live television. They were labeled the villains of college football. But its a rise and fall story. At the high point of their dominance, the walls start to come down
